According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, sales of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrid fell from 194,108 vehicles sold in 2014 to 180,603 in 2015. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline fell from $3.36 to $2.43 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Toyota Priuses and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? Does your answer make sense?
The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $30. The average attendance was 5000. When the ticket price was raised to $33, attendance declined to an average of 4700 persons por performance. What should the ticket price be to maximize revenue for the opera house? (Assume a linear demand curve.) To maximize revenue, the price should be $ por ticket. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed. Simplify your answer.)
Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by: where I is average income measured in thousands dollars. The supply curve is: Q 3P 150. Q=200-2P+41 If1 =25, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product. The market-clearing price is $ and the market-clearing quantity is (Enter your response as an integer.) 220 200 180 160- 140- 120- 100- 80- 60- 40- 20 100 200 Quantity
Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
A movement along the demand curve, represented by points A and B, is shown in the diagram to the right. Point A (30, 70) is the initial point, and point B (40, 60) is the point after the price change. The textbook provides two methods for computing price elasticity of demand. Using the information above, compute the price elasticity of demand using each of these methods. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places and include a minus sign if necessary.) Using the initial values as a base, the elasticity of demand is C...

Suppose that an employee at a coffee shop is willing to work 30 hours per week when she is paid $12.00 per hour. When she is offered a raise to $14.00 per hour, she is willing to work 40 hours per week. Her price elasticity of supply is (Note: use the midpoint method and give your answer to two decimal places.)
Consider the demand function d(p)=300e^−0.01p^2 items purchased when charging p dollars per item. Currently the price is 9 dollars per item. Use marginal analysis to estimate the decrease in demand when the price increases by 0.3 dollars per item. Demand would decrease by approximately _____ items. Round your answer to three decimal places.
You have been asked to analyze what will happen to the New England market for electricity if the Winter 2022-23 (December 2022 through February 2023) results in much colder temperatures than Winter 2021-22 (December 2021 through February 2022), causing all residential customers to scramble for more electricity than they would typically need to heat their homes. Using your graph from Question 2, analyze the impact of this change in consumer desire for more electricity. Clearly show any shifts in demand and/or supply curve(s) that came about because of this exit. Label any shifted curves as D2 and/or S2. Clearly show the new market equilibrium. Label the new equilibrium price as P2 and equilibrium quantity transacted as Q2
Suppose the own-price elasticity of demand for beef is -0.8 and the own-price elasticity of supply of beef is 0.9. Due to a newly introduced government policy, beef supply increases by 2% with no change in the demand for beef. Assuming that the current price for beef is 40/cwt and the quantity bought and sold is 2,000 cwt per day, find the new equilibrium price and quantity of beef (round your answers to two decimal places).
