The Cowtown Hotel is the only first-class hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. The hotel owners hired economics advisors for advice abou improving the hotel's profitability. The advisors suggested that the hotel could increase this year's revenue by raising prices. Th owners asked, "Won't raising prices reduce the quantity of hotel rooms demanded and increase vacancies?" How do you think th advisors replied? Why would they suggest increasing prices?

The owner of a local bakery shop observes that when he increases the price of Italian bread, his total revenue decreases, and when he lowers the price of Italian bread, his total revenue increases. This suggests that: Italian bread buyers act irrationally. the demand for Italian bread is elastic with respect to price. there are few good substitutes for Italian bread. O the demand for Italian bread is inelastic with respect to price.
Use the following demand curve for hamburgers: QD = 1,650 – 50PHB +100PHD + 6INC where QD is quantity demanded for hamburgers, PHB is price of a hamburger, PHD is price of a hot dog, and INC is consumer income. Let PHB = 5, PHD = 10, and INC=100. What is income elasticity of demand for of hamburgers? Note:- Don't use pen or paper and chatgpt

The diagram illustrates the demand for MQ2020, a luxury car manufactured by MQ Motors Which statement correctly describes the demand for MQ2020? 8,000 Price, P: WTP (5) 6,000 4,800 4,000 3,200 2,000 0 0 40 60 80 100 Quantity, Q: number of consumers per day 120 Select one O a. There are 99 consumers per day who are willing to pay money for MQ2020. O b. If MQ Motors sets the price at $4,800, there will be 60 consumers who are willing to buy MC22020 Oc MQ Motors will need to raise the price up to $8,000 in order to maximise its profit Od. There are 59 consumers who are willing to pay more than $4,800 for MQ2020. Oe. The demand curve shows that points A and C are feasible options for MQ Motors.

The textbook discusses several things that determine how price elastic the supply of a good or service is. These are known as the determinants of the price elasticity of supply. Changes in these determinants can cause the elasticity of supply to change. The figure below shows a supply curve that starts out perfectly inelastic at S, and then becomes more elastic as it moves to S,, and then to S3. Which of the determinants of the elasticity of supply could this graph be representing? S. Price Quantity Determinant Represented by the Graph Drag appropriate answer(s) here time and the adjustment process %23 the flexibility of buyers change in income the flexibility of producers Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not a Determinant Represented by the Graph
Please no written by hand solutions In the box “Geometric Tricks for Estimating Price Elasticity,” there are three statements about the elasticities of straight-line supply curves. One of those statements is that supply curves intersecting the quantity axis are inelastic. Can you prove that that is true by algebraic manipulation of the elasticity formula?
Suppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.
