Chapter 4.3, Problem 21E
MAXIMIZING INVESTMENT RETURNS Natsano has at most $50,000 to invest in the common stocks of two companies. He estimates that an investment in Company A will yield a return of 10%, whereas an investment in Company B, which he feels is a riskier investment, will yield a return of 20%. If he decides that his investment in the stock of Company A is to exceed his investment in the stock of Company B by at least $20,000, determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company to maximize the return on his investment. What is the maxi-mum return?

Goods A, B, and C are related goods, each operating in a perfectly competitive market.
a. As the price of Good A increases from $8 to $10, its quantity demanded falls from 200 units to 160 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for this range.
b. Good A is an input for Good B. Illustrate the effect of the price change from part (a) on a fully labeled supply and demand graph for Good B. Label the equilibrium price(s) and quantity or quantities. Use arrows to indicate any shifts.
c. On your graph from (b), shade the consumer surplus lost in the market for Good B as a result of the change in part (a).
d. The equilibrium price for Good C is $2, and the equilibrium quantity is 60 units. The cross-price elasticity of Good C with Good A is -3.
