Demand and supply often shift in the retail market for gasoline. Here are two demand curves and two supply curves for gallons of gasoline in the month of May in a small town in Maine. Some of the data are missing.Using the table, answer the following questions: Quantities Demanded Quantities Supplied Price D1 D2 S1 S2 $7.00 5,000 7,500 9,000 9,500 6,000 8,000 8,000 9,000 5.00 8,500 8,500 9,000 5,000 Use the following facts to fill in the missing data in the table. If demand is D1 and supply is S1, the equilibrium quantity is 7,000 gallons per month. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, the equilibrium price is $6.00 per gallon. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, there is an excess demand of 4,000 gallons per month at a price of $4.00 per gallon. If demand is D1 and supply is S2, the equilibrium quantity is 8,000 gallons per month. b. Compare the two equilibriums: In the first,…

IGCSE ECONOMICS As a person buys more of a good, the total utility they get from it rises. But it does not rise by the same amount each time. In fact, it rises by a smaller amount with each good consumed. The extra utility gained from consuming one more unit is called marginal utility. Question A demand schedule for the consumption of orange light bulbs is shown below: Price of orange light bulbs Market demand per month 50p 100 000 40p 150 000 200 000 30p 20p 260 000 10p 330 000 5p 400 000 1) Plot the demand curve on a piece of graph paper, labelling it correctly. Label the page demand curve 2 2) Use the graph to work out how many orange light bulbs would be demanded at a price of: Price Number of bulbs demanded 45p 50 35p 50 15p 3) Explain the difference between individual demand and market demand.
Macmillan Learning Consider two markets: the market for coffee and the market for hot cocoa. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $12.75, the quantity supplied of coffee is 71.0 and the quantity supplied of hot cocoa is 105.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for hot cocoa. Please round to two decimal places. Incorrect Supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa.
QUESTION 7 To mark national burger day there is a nationwide 50% sale on burgers during May. A recent survey, of those who bought burgers at supermarkets and food trucks, found that 99% of people will only eat burgers in a bun. Which of the following statements are true: The decrease in the price of burgers during May will cause a decrease in the quantity demanded of burgers. The decrease in the price of burgers in May will cause an increase in both demand and quantity demanded for buns. The decrease in the price of burgers in May will only result in an increase in the quantity demanded for buns. Economic theory is unable to predict if there would be any shift in demand for buns with the discount on burgers in May.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are $4, and the quantity demanded is 60. When the price falls to $3/sandwich, the quantity demanded rises to 80. What is the price elasticity of grilled cheese sandwiches? Widgets are $3, and the quantity demanded is 200. When the price of widgets rises to $5, the quantity demanded falls to 100. What is the price elasticity of demand for widgets? Coffee is $1 per cup, and the quantity demanded is 500. The price of coffee rises to $1.25 per cup, and the quantity demanded falls to 400. What is the price elasticity of demand for cups of coffee?
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is

A taco hut is trying to determine its demand if it changes it's price. In 2019, they sold tacos for 1.00 and sold 6,000. In 2020, they increase the price of tacos to 1.50 and demand dropped to 5,500. In 2021, the owners of the taco hut want to increase taco price to 2.00 dollars. What would demand be for 2021? What if they lowered the price to .50, how much would demand be?
An overlook in the state’s Scenic Park offers a spectacular view of Angel’s Lake and the surrounding countryside. The overlook is accessible to people in wheelchairs by a special park bus that takes about 60 minutes to reach the overlook. The overlook is accessible to people not in wheelchairs by a tram that takes 15 minutes to reach the overlook. During the most recent park season, 700 people in wheelchairs visited the park. A local economist has estimated that the demand schedule for overlook visits by people in wheelchairs is linear and has a price elasticity of demand equal to -0.75 Assume that people in wheelchairs value their recreational time at $12.50 per hour. a. What is the annual benefit of making the tram accessible to people in wheelchairs? b. Assume the tram modifications cost $12,000. Would the tram option be efficient
