Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The demand curve can be interpreted horizontally and vertically. The demand curve shows the total value of the goods and services that are demanded at a particular price in a given period of time. This is referred to as the horizontal interpretation. By horizontal interpretation, initially start with the horizontal axis, which represent price and then go to the vertical axis, where the corresponding quantity demanded measures. On the other hand, in the vertical interpretation, first start with the quantity demanded and then go to its corresponding willing price of the consumer.

To understand the economic rationale behind this, economists turn to the basic consumer theory model of budget constraints and indifference curves. Recall that an indifference curve maps out all possible consumption bundles of goods that yield the same level of utility to a given consumer. Indifference curves tell us nothing about what we can afford, but rather tell us how happy a particular bundle will make us. On the other hand, a budget constraint shows the consumption bundles that we can buy given our income and the prices of goods. Similarly, a budget constraint says nothing about what we would like to buy, but rather what we can afford. Suppose you consume only two types of goods: magazines and food. You have $300…arrow_forward
- Cho is a truck driver living in Miami who performs freelance health consulting to supplement her normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $45, she is willing to consult 5 hours per week. Upping the wage to $65 per hour, she is willing to consult 14 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Cho’s labor supply between the wages of $45 and $65 per hour is approximately , which means that Cho’s supply of labor over this wage range is .arrow_forwardWhere do I draw the demand and supply linearrow_forwardIt would be inefficient but possible for this economy to produce? 100 1dryers 90 80 C 70 A 60 50 D B 40 30 20 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 washers O 90 dryers and 20 washers. 50 dryers and 50 washers.
