For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and Lakes is charging $400 per room per
night.
If average household income increases by 50%, from $40,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Lakes from
rooms per night to
rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is
, meaning that hotel rooms at the Lakes are
If the price of a room at the Mountaineer were to decrease by 20%, from $200 to $160, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values,
the quantity of rooms demanded at the Lakes from
