Explain in 2-3 sentences how sports franchises use stadium subsidies as bargaining power over cities and fans.
2)
Do you think sports franchises have more bargaining leverage (by threatening to move) over cities/fans with higher willingness to pay?

Consider the following two options:
Option 1: An investment plan requires you to invest $20,000 today, and you will receive $13,000
in exactly one year and $8,000 in exactly two years.
Option 2: An investment plan requires you to invest $20,000 today, and you will receive $8,000 in exactly one year and $13,000 in exactly two years. a)
Which of the options above would you prefer and why? 7)
(The following problems are taken from Question 18 in the Homework 1 document posted in
Canvas. That question is ungraded. The following questions resemble questions found in Chapters 14.1 of the Goolsebee Microeconomics textbook. You are encouraged to review the
Goolsebee textbook for additional practice/review. a.

b.
Jamie wants to spend $1,000 in exactly one year in order to buy a scooter.
i.
If interest rates are 6%, how much does Jamie need to be able to invest today in order to spend $1,000 one year from now?
ii.
If interest rates are 9%, how much does Jamie need to be able to invest today in order to spend $1,000 one year from now?
iii.

books would a profit-maximizing publisher print? What price would she charge?
(b) Calculate the marginal revenue. What is the difference between marginal revenue and
price? Explain your answer.

The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Peacock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel
management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand
factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool.
Demand Factor
Average American household income
Initial Value
$50,000 per year
$200 per roundtrip
Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS)
Room rate at the Grandiose Hotel and Casino, which is near the Peacock

Demand for Mavericks games in Austin is given by: PA(QA) = 180 − 2QA The marginal cost of production in both cities is constant at MC = 40. 3. Suppose that the consumer surplus in Dallas is actually 2000, but all other values remain the same. a) If subsidies are banned, where would the team locate? b) If subsidies are allowed, would the team move to Austin? c) If subsidies are allowed, how much is the winning subsidy? d) If subsidies are allowed, what is the profit plus subsidy for the team? e) If subsidies are allowed, what is consumer surplus minus the subsidy?

How can you tell?If the firm could charge every consumer exactly what that consumer was willing to pay (called perfect price discrimination), would the quantity the firm produced increase, decrease, or remain the same? Would the firm’s profits increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain your answers.

Suppose that Figure #1 depicts the demand conditions for the City of Brantford with
respect to a potential Wayne Gretzky Museum. The owners of the exhibits (the
Gretzky family) have decided that the price per exhibit will be $99. They have also
decided that the winning bid for the museum will be required to take all 99 items.
Using Figure #1 (and using the associated information), calculate the remaining
consumer surplus for Brantford if the Gretzky's are a monopoly and can exploit an
all-or-nothing demand curve.

Two coal-burning electric power plants are emitting mercury which impairs cognitive development in children. Plant A's marginal abatement cost is MCA= 1.2q and plant B's marginal abatement cost is MCB = 0.3q. Each firm initially emits 50 units and the EPA would like to reduce total emissions to 40.
If the EPA follows a command-and-control policy and tells each firm to abate by the same amount, what will be the total costs?
If firms could trade permits, what would happen to total costs? Why?

constant at MC = 70. Suppose that the Thunder faces an extra fixed cost of 10000 in Seattle because they need to build
a new stadium if they move. If the Thunder decides to stay in Oklahoma City, they don't need to pay the fixed cost. Cities

Consider PNW Airlines, an airline focused on transporting cargo. Their fleet is composed of four cargo airplanes. Total cargo capacity of the fleet is 100,000 cubic feet. The monthly cost of maintaining and operating the fleet is $50,000. Market research indicated that the demand curve for cargo capacity is d=300,000-25,000p where d is the demand across all segments and p is the transport price per cubic foot.
Question 1: What is the price that maximizes profit for PNW Airlines if all the demand comes from a single segment?
What is the demand if PNW sets price to be the value found in Question 1?
How much profit does PNW Airlines make?

Q1. Suppose the government is considering an increase
in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $3 to $4.
At present, 1 million cars per week use that highway
stretch; after the toll is imposed, the number of cars per
week will change according to its price elasticity of
demand of -0.8 (this elasticity value is estimated based
on the initial-value method).
If the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the
supply curve is horizontal) and equal to $3 per car,
what is the net annual cost to society attributable to the
increase in the toll? (your answer must be rounded off
to the nearest million dollars per year, i.e., no decimal
places; there are 52 weeks in a year)
