Is the statement true or false?
When a demand curve is a downward sloping straight line, the slope of the marginalrevenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.
A TV channel has estimated the demand for its service to be givenby the following function:
Q=9.83p-1.2A2.5Y1.6P0-1.4whereQ = monthly sales in unitsP = price of the service in $A = promotional expenditure in $’000Y = average income of the market in $’000P0 = price of ‘home movies’ in $
The current price of the TV channel is $60, promotional expenditure is$120,000, average income is $28,000, and the price of ‘homemovies’ is$45.Indicate whether the following statements are true or false, givingyour reasons and making the necessary corrections
h. Current sales are over a million units a month.
i. The demand curve for the channel is given by:Q=9.83p-1.2j. The channel’s sales are more affected by the price of ‘home movies’ than by the price of its own service.k. If the channel increases its price this will reduce its profit.

- Recent research confirms that the demand for cigarettes is not only inelastic, but it also indicates that smokers with incomes in the lower half of all incomes respond to a given price increase by reducing their purchases by amounts that are more than four times as large as the purchase reductions made by smokers in the upper half of all incomes. How can the income and substitution effects of a price change help explain this finding?arrow_forwardThe following table shows three demand schedules for a person who likes toplay football and/or go swimming. In scenario S1, his income is $100,000 per yearand swimming cost $18 each. In scenario S2, his income is also $100,000 peryear, but the price of swimming rises to $22 per round. And in scenario S3, hisincome increases to $140,000 per year while swimming cost $22 per round.A. Use data under S1 and S2 to calculate the cross elasticity of demand for footballat all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the cross elasticity the same at allthree prices? What type of goods are football and swimming? Why?b. Use data under S2 and S3 to calculate the income elasticity of demand forfootball at all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the income elasticity thesame at all three prices? Is football an inferior good?

Can someone graph the Demand curve for a normal good and an inferior I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Thanks Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

- Question 1 Suppose Ms. Zeenia demands 150 units of ice cream at price 50, if the price tends to increase to 60 she reduced her demand by 30 units while a further increase in the price by 10 rupees led to the reduction in the quantity demanded to 90 units ceteris paribus. Given the information above drive the demand function. Now suppose the price of milk has increased, illustrates graphically if there would be any change in the demand function elucidated in part a. Also, explain why or why not?

When the price ofa movie ticket is $8, the quantity demanded for each person is 5. When the price is $4, thequantity demanded for each person is 9.

- Suppose the utility function of a person consuming two commodities X and Y with income borr 600 is given by U= 2Xy. If the per unit price of x is birr 20 and per unit price of Y is birr 40. a.calculate the utility maximizing level of consumption of X and Y b. find the MRSx,y at the optimumarrow_forwardDefine Availability of substitutes?arrow_forwardConsider the two questions about utility. The table refers to the first question only. Tod loves to travel, and he takes several river cruises per year. The table contains information about the utility Tod gets from the river cruises. Number of river cruises Total utility Marginal utility 0 0 1 12 12 2 20 8 3 25 5 From this information, it can be concluded that the number of river cruises Tod takes is indeterminable without knowing Tod’s income or the price of the cruises. that total utility is maximized when Tod takes one river cruise. that Tod will take two river cruises. that Tod will take three river cruises. Suppose that Jim has $4 to spend on a snack and that the only thing available is tea and scones. Jim’s marginal utility of the first cup of tea is 30 and his marginal utility of the second cup of tea is 20. Each cup of tea costs $1. Jim’s marginal utility of the first scone is 80 and his marginal utility of the second scone is 60. Each scone costs…arrow_forward
