Freeway Space
Refer to Exhibit 5-1, which shows supply and demand for freeway space at both 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. Suppose that the government decides to set the
money price of driving on the freeway at zero, but creates programs that encourage drivers to carpool. If the carpooling program is sufficiently
successful to eliminate the shortage of freeway space at 8 a.m., graphically the result of the increase in carpooling would be a
a. movement up along D8a.m. to the point where D8a.m. intersects the supply curve.
b. rightward shift of the supply of freeway space curve.
c. leftward shift of the demand for freeway space curve from D8a.m. to D11p.m.
d. leftward shift of the supply of freeway space curve.
Consider the market for bus travel, where equilibrium price and quantity is determined by demand and supply. If bus travel is an inferior good and there is an increase in income and at the same time, the government subsidises bus travel, which of the following will occur?
(a) The equilibrium price and quantity will be lower.
(b) The equilibrium quantity will be higher, but the impact on price will be unknown.
(c) The equilibrium price will be lower, but the equilibrium quantity will be higher.
(d) The equilibrium price will be lower, but the impact on quantity will be unknown.

- QUESTION 2 Mike notices that taking an Uber (ride-share service where price fluctuates with supply and demand) from his law firm's office in the city to his home normally costs $9 Monday to Thursday nights (x1 rate). But on Friday nights, as there are many people in the city drinking, the Uber costs up to $27 (x3 rate). Which of the following statements are true: Ceteris paribus, there should be less Ubers driving around on a Friday night due to the increased prices according to the law of supply. Ceteris paribus, Mike is more likely to take the bus home on a Friday night. Ceteris paribus, an Uber driver's working hours (individual quantity supplied) should increase on a Friday Night according to the law of supply.
