6-2 Increasing Movie Ticket Prices To conduct an experiment, AMC increased movie ticket prices from $9.00 to $10.00 and measured the change in ticket sales. Using the data over the following month, they concluded that the increase was profitable. However, over the subsequent months, they changed their minds and discontinued the experiment. How did the timing affect their conclusion about the profitability of increasing prices?
What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65
Exercise 5. There are observed following behavioral equations in the economy: C = Co + c(Y-T) 1 = 1o - WR G = Go T = To where: Co > 0, lo > 0, Go > 0, To > 0, ce (0; 1), w > 0.

Government is able to reduce deficit either by increasing taxes or by reducing government spending. Explain, which instrument should be used to reduce budget deficit? e) Government is able to change either taxes or government spending. Which instrument should be used if government tends to increase aggregate income?

In Brisbane there is a small population of musicians who play the harp. The quantity demanded for a specific student harp, used by music students, when priced at $11,500 is 20 harps. However, the quantity demanded for the same student harp when priced at $17,500 is only 8 harps in Brisbane. 1. All individual student harp players will always have the same willingness to pay for a harp. 2. If the harp differs in price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus), then a demand schedule can be constructed. 3. A new music university opens in Brisbane where students enrol to study and learn the harp. These additional new players need to be included in the market demand for student harps. Which of the above statements are true: Only 1 is true. Only 2 is true. Both 1 and 2 are true. Both 2 and 3 are true. All three are true.
