Question 1 Suppose that bushfires in North-West Victoria destroys many of the citrus farms. As a result, the price of oranges rises from $0.40 to $0.80, the price of a tangelo rises from $1.20 to $2.00, and the price of limes rises from $0.50 to $0.90. Suppose the citrus market basket is composed of 100 oranges, 50 tangelos and 200 limes. Therefore, there has been an 80% increase in citrus price index and the average citrus consumer's cost of living has also increased by this amount. TRUE or FALSE (explain your answer showing appropriate calculations).

19) Consider the market for drinking water on a summer camping trip. The supply for water (in gallons) is Qs = 2 + 2P. There are two people on the camping trip, Tony and Khushbu. Tony's demand for drinking water is QDremy = 18 – 3P and Khushbu's demand is = 6 – P. a. What is the total demand for water on this trip? b. Graph supply and demand for drinking water and find the equilibrium price and quantity. c. Suppose some external factors cause the supply of water to shift to Qs = 12 + 2P. Graph this change and calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity. d. What is the price elasticity of demand for this price change? %3|

5) Matthew is an addicted coffee drinker and proud patron of Starbucks, so he keeps an eye out on the prices of coffee. He finds out that Starbucks increases its price of a grande frappuccino from $3.50 to $4.00, so he expects many patrons to consume less grande lattes from 2 to 1 per week, and to find an alternative. He lives by a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf café and his opportunity for a grande frappucino is a medium ice blended. He plans to consume more medium ice blended drinks increasing his quantity demanded from 1 to 5 per week. What is the cross price elasticity of demand for a medium ice blended drink with respect to a grande frappuccino's price?
