1) Draw a typical demand curve or schedule for Baseball and then show your answers the following:
a) Suppose the ticket price for an amusement park (substitute) falls, what will happen to the
demand for Baseball tickets?
b) Suppose the economy continues to rebound and real incomes increase, if Baseball is an inferior
good, what will happen to the demand for Baseball tickets?
c) Cannot have Baseball without hot dogs (compliment). So, if the price of hotdogs decreases.
what will happen to the demand for Baseball tickets?
d) Suppose a greedy owner, to satisfy greedy players, increases the price of tickets for a baseball
game, what will happen to the demand for Baseball tickets?

Explain how the law of demand affected your purchase. Give specific examples of how the determinants of demand and supply affect this product (T-I-P-E-N and P-R-E-S-T). What happens to the demand curve and the supply curve when any of these determinants change? What would cause a change in demand versus a movement along the same demand curve for this product? How would you determine the new equilibrium price and quantity that result from these changes? Can you demonstrate some of these changes graphically?
