Many middle-to-older-aged men now claim they "need" Viagra (the male impotency wonder drug) for an enjoyable sex life. The economic way of thinking predicts O fewer men would be likely to claim they need Viagra if the price per pill were much higher (say, two hundred dollars each) compared to the current price. O other things constant, fewer prescriptions would be written if the price of Viagra rises significantly. all of the other answers are true.

The following table shows three demand schedules for a person who likes toplay football and/or go swimming. In scenario S1, his income is $100,000 per yearand swimming cost $18 each. In scenario S2, his income is also $100,000 peryear, but the price of swimming rises to $22 per round. And in scenario S3, hisincome increases to $140,000 per year while swimming cost $22 per round.A. Use data under S1 and S2 to calculate the cross elasticity of demand for footballat all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the cross elasticity the same at allthree prices? What type of goods are football and swimming? Why?b.

Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a roundâ€”trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.

You have data on Meena's quantity demanded for craft beer and theirincome. According to this data when Meena's income falls by 7% theassociated change in their quantity demanded for beer is 11%. You don'tknow if it is an increase or decrease in quantity demanded. From pastresearch you know that craft beer is a normal good for Meena. Use thisinformation to calculate Meena's income elasticity of demand.
Figure 2-16 caps of coffee per day Avans with at sery Refer to Figure 2-16. Taking cause and effect into account, which of the following interpretations would be most reasonable regarding the relationship between coffee and hours without sleep? O The less coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. There is no relationship between how much coffee per day a person drinks and how long he can go without sleep. The more coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. O The more coffee a person drinks per day, the less time he can go without sleep.
The consumer demand equation for tissues is given by g = (95 – p), where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales. (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the price is set at $27. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) E Interpret your answer. The demand is going ? O by % per 1% increase in price at that price level. (b) At what price should tissues be sold to maximize the revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ (c) Approximately how many cases of tissues would be demanded at that price? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) cases per week

If Andrew would like to buy slippers, he has to check the prices and the number of quantities that will fit to his financial capabilities. If at a price of $220 he can buy 3 slippers, however if he will be given a discount of $50, he would like to buy 5 slippers. Show the value of E using the Price elasticity formula and identify the kinds of E. Let’s see of his capabilities be translated based on his income of $8,000 and an increase of 20% with the same number of slippers. What do you think of his EY and what kind of goods he is capable of buying? On the other hand if changes in price would be interpreted by looking at its cross relationship with same price original and a 35% increase in price due to inflation, but still Andrew, considered the same number of quantities since its Christmas season.
