While the major economies slid into recession and industries suffered great losses to the COVID-19 pandemic, E-commerce sales saw explosive growth. In this rapid movement of consumers to online purchasing and delivery services, there has been a large increase in the demand for packaging materials, such as cardboard boxes. Supporting this, Parcel Shipping Index by Pitney Bowes Inc. (2020) finds global parcel volume exceeding 131 billion, a 27% increase from 2019. Corrugated cardboards are largely and versatilely used for secondary packaging of goods, up to the tertiary packaging of large packs into mass cargo (Saxon Packaging, 2020). In addition to its relatively low cost, its strength and durability are also remarkable in protecting a variety of products from damage, notably during the shipment process. Given this, businesses have been largely reliant on the material as a practical, secure, and sustainable way of containing their products from production centers to…
Over the past decade, holiday gift cards have become increasingly popular at online retailers. Not long ago, online shoppers had to really hunt at most e-retailers’ sites to purchase a gift certificate, but today it is easier to purchase gift cards online than at traditional retail outlets. Do you think online gift cards are merely a fad? Explain carefully. (LO6)
Anthony spends all his income on two goods, X and Y and his tastes don't change between 2008 and 2009. The prices he paid and the quantities he consumed in 2008 are as follows: PX = 15, X = 20, PY = 25 and Y = 30. Suppose the prices in 2009 are PX = 6 and PY = 30, and his income in 2009 is €1,020,

- For a subsistence agricultural household, which of the following happen when the price of the staple they are producing increases? [SelectMultiple] Group of answer choices Due to profit effect, their utility as producers increases. The impact on overall welfare of the household is ambiguous since it depends on the relative forces of profit effect and price effect. Their is no effect since subsistence households never sell or buy their staple production. Due to price effect, their utility as consumers decreases.arrow_forwardMika earns $379 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol. The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $4/unit.

- In 2005, suppose a typical U.S. owner of a home theater (a television and a DVD player) bought 8 music CDs (q₁) per year and 24 top-20 movie DVDs (9₂) per year. The average price of a CD was about p₁ = $15, the average price of a DVD was roughly p₂ = $20, and the typical consumer spent $600 on these entertainment goods. We'll call this typical consumer Barbara. We estimate her Cobb-Douglas utility function as 0.2 0.8 U(91, 92)=91 9₂ Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw Barbara's annual demand curve for CDs, using prices of $15, $30, and $60 as your control points. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. Explain the shape of the price-consumption curve for changes in the price of good q₁.

- In the economy of Queensland, two products (Sta and Star) are prominent due to their quality and durability. At the price of GHȼ 30 for Sta, 5,000 quantities of Sta are demanded. Stonewall, a banker lives in this economy and earns a weekly income of GHȼ 2,000. At this income level, Stonewall consumes 100 quantities of Star monthly. The price of Sta increases by 50%, now 4,000 quantities of Sta are demanded. At the initial price of Sta, 1000 quantities of Star were demanded but at the new price of Sta, 3,000 quantities of Star are demanded. Stonewall attains a professional qualification thus his weekly income increases by 20%, at the new income level; he consumes 200 quantities of Star monthly.a) Determine the Own Price Elasticity of Demand for Sta and interpret your answer?b) Determine the Cross Price Elasticity of Demand for both products and interpret the relationship between the two products? c) Determine the monthly Income Elasticity of Demand for Star and explain the nature of…arrow_forwardFrom California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating or reducing the surcharges that banks impose on noncustomers, who make $14 million in withdrawals from other banks’ ATM machines. On average, noncustomers earn a wage of $22 per hour and pay ATM fees of $2.75 per transaction. It is estimated that banks would be willing to maintain services for 6 million transactions at $1.25 per transaction, while noncustomers would attempt to conduct 18 million transactions at that price. Estimates suggest that, for every 1 million gap between the desired and available transactions, a typical consumer will have to spend an extra minute traveling to another machine to withdraw cash.Based on this information, what would be the nonpecuniary cost of legislation that would place a $1.25 cap on the fees banks can charge for noncustomer transactions?Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places).arrow_forwardFrom California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating or reducing the surcharges that banks impose on noncustomers, who make $12 million in withdrawals from other banks' ATM machines.
