The determinants of the demand curve.

Answer to Problem 1CQQ
Option ‘b’ is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Option (b):
A change in
Option (a):
Hot dogs can be considered as substitutes of hamburgers. A change in the price of a substitute good shifts the demand curve of a good. Thus, a change in price of hot dogs shifts the demand curve of hamburgers. So, option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option (c):
Hamburger buns can be considered as complementary goods of hamburgers. A change in the price of a complementary good shifts the demand curve of a good. Thus, a change in the price of hamburger buns shifts the demand curve of a hamburger. So, option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option (d):
A change in the income of a consumer of a good shifts the demand curve of that good. Thus, a change in the income of hamburger consumers shifts the demand curve of hamburger. So, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
Concept introduction:
Complementary good: It is a good with a negative cross
Substitute good: It is a good with a positive cross elasticity of demand, that is, a good whose demand is decreased when the price of another good is decreased.

With this notation, 2.3045 Q would be a double flush since every card is a diamond and a heart. • Wild Cards: A wild card counts as having every suit and every denomination. Denote wild cards with a W; if there are multiple, we will denote them W₁, W2, etc. With this notation, W2 20.30054 would be both a three-of-a-kind (three 2's) and a flush (5 diamonds). If we add multiple wild cards to the deck, they count as distinct cards, so that (e.g.) the following two hands count as "different hands" when counting: W15 5Q and W255◊♡♡♣♣ In addition, 1.

Before making this decision, you have the option of hiring a geologist to perform some seismic tests and then predict whether there is any oil or not. You assess that if there is actually oil, the geologist will predict there is oil with probability 0.85 . You also assess that if there is no oil, the geologist will predict there is no oil with probability 0.90. Please answer the two questions below, as I am trying to ensure that I am correct. 1. Why will these two probabilities not appear on the decision tree? 2. Which probabilities will be on the decision tree?arrow_forwardAsap pleasearrow_forward
