Ypsilanti Market Research conducted a survey to find out whether people who earn more money purchase more expensive goods. The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the home that they purchased.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.

Philadelphia and several other cities have imposed an excise tax on sugary drinks (it’s aimed primarily at sodas such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, but would apply to all drinks with high sugar content). Philadelphia’s tax significantly increases the price of sodas and other sugary beverages. While other cities have cited the health benefits of cutting back on sugar consumption as the reason for an excise tax on sugary drinks, Philadelphia’s mayor said that his city would impose the tax to raise revenue for the city government to pay for pre-kindergarten and other popular services. Which is an excise tax on sugary drinks more likely to accomplish: a large reduction in the consumption of sugary drinks, or a large boost in revenue for local government? Justify your answer, being sure to identify the concept that your justification rests on.
A firestorm of controversy erupted recently on social media outlets and the national press as three teens died attempting to complete the Monster Challenge, which involves recording a person's mass consumption of energy drinks in a very small window of time. Five others were rushed to the hospital. Deeper investigation by media outlets has shed light on the disturbing number of Americans who are hopelessly addicted to energy drinks. Lawmakers, including Senator Miller (D-CA), have called for an aggressive tax on energy drinks to stop this scourge that is ravaging the community. The Miller Bill would place a two dollar tax on energy drink tall cans (that on average cost $2.50) in all American markets. Other members of Congress led by Senator Cruz (R-TX), however, believed that tax to be too high, so the Miller Bill was amended to decrease the size of the tax to just one dollar. Therefore, Senator Miller has asked his team of young, expert economists (that's you all) to project the…
Bill O'Really of OX News observed that poultry (chicken and turkey) consumption in the US increased dramatically over the 2000 to 2006 period. This he believed was due to the fact that consumers, being more health conscious, switched from red meat to poultry, in an effort to eat healthier foods. Intrigued by these findings, Bill contacted the US Department of Agriculture for additional information. The department provided him with data that yielded two findings. First, there was a 75% decrease in the price of poultry over the period and second, there was widespread adoption of cost reducing innovations in poultry processing. Being a supposedly brilliant journalist, Bill concluded that the demand curve for poultry had shifted to the right. a. Is Bill's conclusion correct or incorrect? Explain your answer using supply and demand diagrams (best to use two diagrams in your answer). ANS:

Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for cigarettes, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

Economists like to calculate the percent changes in numbers. If the price of gasoline was $3.25 a gallon last week and this week it is $3.95 a gallon, what is the percentage change in price? 33.3 percent 82.3 percent 21.5 percent 17.7 percent
