You are considering buying a monthly metro pass for the subway at $150 or paying $4 per ride. Your monthly demand curve is P = 60 - 2Q where Q is the number of rides per month. Given this information, your consumer surplus will be $750 buying each ride and $900 with the monthly pass. $600 buying each ride and $700 with the monthly pass. $784 buying each ride and $900 with the monthly pass. $784 buying each ride and $750 with the monthly pass.

QUESTION THREE 3.1 3.2 3.3 Distinguish between a movement along the demand curve and a shift of the demand curve. Use a single diagram to motivate your answer. List and discuss with the aid of diagrams, any three (3) categories of price elasticity of demand. Provide the consumer equilibrium condition according to utility theory.
The Concept of Elasticity Explain the general concept of elasticity and how it can be applied to improve the decisions made about a product.(+- ¼ page)
When describing changes in consumer behavior, explain the difference between substitute and complementary goods? Provide examples of both and describe their impacts on each other when price changes. Does time and a good’s price ($) relative to one’s overall income budget influence elasticity of a product? Why?
Problem 2: Last week, the price of envelopes was Php 150 a box, and Julie was willing to buy 10 boxes. Today, the price has gone up to Php 175 a box, and Julie is now willing to buy 8 boxes. What is Julie's elasticity of demand? Is Julie's demand for envelopes elastic or inelastic?
A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.
Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -2 and the price of good X increases by 10 percent how much consumption will change
Wendy drinks 10 sugary drinks and 4 smoothies a week. Smoothies are $5 each and sugary drinks were $2 each. This week, things are different: the government has slapped a tax on sugary drinks and their price has doubled to $4. But it's not all bad news for Wendy. The government has also revised the income tax, so Wendy's drinks budget has increased. She can now just afford to buy her usual 10 sugary drinks and 4 smoothies a week.
DINKS are households with "double income, no kids", and such households are invading your neighbourhood. You decide to take advantage of this influx by starting a gourmet take-away food store. Assume that these DINKS in your neighbourhood are your only potential customers. You know that the price elasticity of demand for your food from DINKS is 0.5, and their income elasticity of demand is 1.5. From the standpoint of the quantity that you sell, explain which of the following changes would concern you most. First, the number of DINKS in your neighbourhood falls by 10 percent. Second, the average income of DINKS falls by 5 percent.
Calculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week. Calculate the elasticity coefficient for Patty's Pies. Are Patty's Pies elastic or inelastic? Should she raise her prices? Or keep them the same? You should be able to show your work.
If cream cheese and bagel are good compliments for consumers, then it is likely that: their cross price elasticities are less than zero. their price elasticities of demand are less than one. their income elasticities are less than zero. their cross price elasticities are greater than zero.
