- A small town provides a fireworks display, which is a public good, every fourth of July. For simplicity, assume the town only has two residents: Hayden and Madison. Their demands for the fireworks display are illustrated in the figure to the right. Construct the market demand curve for this public good. 8.00 7.50- 7.00- 6.50- 6.00- 5.50- 5.00- 4.50- Use the line drawing tool to draw the market demand curve (DMarket) for the fireworks display.

Answer this using an examplearrow_forwardConsider a market transaction that you have undertaken (or considering) as a consumer which was notable because it is particularly recent, large, or unusual. Analyze this transaction from a microeconomic standpoint: a. Explain how & why (from the perspective of the supplier), the good or service in question was created, and the reason you entered the market to secure this product or service (demand side). b. Discuss in general terms the factors on the demand and supply side that will have influenced the price you paid for this product. Show what might happen to the price of the product if one of these factors changes. c. Assess whether the product in question is likely to be price elastic or inelastic at the current market price (demand). Following this assessment describe the likely impact on the supplying company’srevenue following an increase in the price they charge (ceteris paribus) Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

The students would have to fly "standby", if and only if there was an available seat, only on that day. Students were able to obtain these tickets, make fictitious reservations, cancel the reservations at the last minute, and secure a seat on the flight at a discounted price. Answer the following questions. a Is this a form of price discrimination? Why? Include in your analysis differing levels of elasticity, if relevant, and any other feature b. Why would an airline use this practice? Provide a dollar and cents example. The airlines caught up with this scheme and ended it. What principal of price discrimination did the students violate so as to end it?arrow_forwardI was given a word problem but I want to bullet point reasons or answers to the question, rather than one single answer. 1. Assume in a simple example that two changes occur simultaneously in an economy which produces “Good X”. The economic changes that occur in the market are: 1) An increase in the number of seller/producers in the economy who make “Good X”, and 2) An increase in the number of consumers who purchase “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for “Good X”?arrow_forward
