QUESTION 6 Suppose you are considering two cities, city A with elastic housing supply and city B with inelastic housing supply. The two cities are otherwise exactly identical. Suppose you believe that housing demand in both cities will rise by exactly 20% over the next 3 years. Which city should have a bigger rise in house prices at the end of the 3 years holding all else constant? OA. There is not enough information to answer this question OB. City B OC. Both cities expect the same rise in house prices OD. City A

Diego needs to forecast demand for his company's products, using the data he already possesses. He has an average of previous demand, and he knows the most recent demand because he believes it's a better predictor of future demand.   Which forecasting technique should he use?

What is the price volatility component?

What purpose would the demand curve for a product have in developing a sales forecast?

In the following scenarios, you will be given a product and an event. Determine what will happen to the demand for the product based on the event, what happens to the demand curve, and give the non-price determinant that caused it to occur. (chose from the 7 determinants listed in the notes). The first one is answered for you as an example.

Question For each sentence below describing changes in the tangerine market, discuss whether the statement is true, false, or uncertain. Justify your answer. (You will find it helpful to draw a graph for each case.) • If consumers’ income increases, and the wage of the laborers in the industry falls, the quantity purchased in the market will rise and the price will fall. • If orange prices decrease, and a new agro-chemical increases the productivity of tangerine trees, the quantity will fall and the price will rise. • If the price of canning machinery (a complement) increases, and the growing season is unusually cold, both quantity and price will fall.

Consider the market for a bond which has a face value of $2,000, pays a coupon of $100, and matures in 1 year (that is, you will get the face value and one coupon payment next year). Suppose the demand for such bonds is given by P=4,000-2Q, and that the supply of such bonds is given by P=1,000+Q. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of bonds sold?     P*=$1,000, Q*=2,000     P*=$1,000, Q*=1,000     P*=$2,000, Q*=1,000     P*=$2,000, Q*=2,000

Attempts 9. Exercise 3.9 The Sydney Transportation Company operates an urban bus system in New South Wales, Australia. Economic analysis performed by the firm indicates that two major factors influence the demand for its services: fare levels and downtown parking rates. Table 1 presents information available from 2005 operations. Forecasts of future fares and hourly parking rates are presented in Table 2. Table 1 Average Daily Transit Riders Average Downtown Round-Trip Fare Parking Rate Year 2006 2007 Average / 1 (2005) 5,000 (Dollars) 1.00 1.25 (Dollars) 1.00 Table 2 Round-Trip Fare Average Parking Rates (Dollars) 2.50 2.50 (Dollars) 1.50 Sydney's economists supplied the following information so that the firm can estimate ridership. Based on past experience, the coefficient of cross elasticity between bus ridership and downtown parking rates is estimated at 0.2, given a fare of $1.00 per round trip. This is not expected to change for a fare increase to $1.25. The price elasticity of…

Compare and contrast the law of demand vs. the law of supply. Keeping the law of demand and the law of supply in mind, consider the following: on a typical day, there are millions of stocks sold on the stock market. The number of shares sold always equals the number of shares purchased. This means the quantity of each company’s shares demanded equals the quantity supplied. If that is true, why do stock prices constantly change? Doesn’t this go against the law of supply and demand?

Part 1. The demand for a commodity is given by Q = β0 + β1P + u, where Q denotes quantity, P denotes price, and u denotes factors other than price that determine demand. Supply for the commodity is given by Q = g0 + g1P + v, where v denotes factors other than price that determine supply. Suppose u and v both have a mean of 0, have standard deviations su and sv, respectively, and are mutually uncorrelated.a) Solve the two simultaneous equations to show how Q and P depend on u and v.b) Derive the means of P and Q.c) Derive the variance of P, the variance of Q, and the covariance between Q and P.

S6. Consider a simplified model in which everyone gets electricity either from solar power or from fossil fuels, which are both in relatively inelastic supply. (Ín the case of solar power, think of the required equipment as being in inelastic supply.) The upfront costs of using solar energy are high, so when the price of fossil fuels is low (that is, when few people are using fossil fuels and there is a high demand for solar equipment), the cost of solar can be prohibitive. In contrast, when many individuals are using fossil fuels, the demand for them (and thus the price) is high, whereas the demand (and thus the price) for solar energy is relatively lower. Assume the payoff table for the two types of energy consumers to be as follows: COLUMN Solar Fossil fuels Solar 2,2 3,4 ROW Fossil fuels 4,3 2,2 (a) Describe all possible ESSS of this game in terms of s, the proportion of solar users, and explain why each is either stable or unstable. (b) Suppose there are important economies of…

Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow:Big fuel price hikes announced for Wednesday, 29 Nov 2021The petrol price will be hiked by 81c a litre on Wednesday, while diesel will go up by between 72.5c a litre (0.05% sulphur) and 74.5c (0.005% sulphur), the department of mineral resources and energy announced. The latest price hike will push the price of petrol - currently around R19.50 a litre - to above R20 in Gauteng and other inland provinces. At the start of November, petrol prices were hiked by R1.21, while diesel increased by R1.48. Illuminating paraffin will go up by 42.2c/l, while the maximum LP Gas retail price will be increased by 183.00c/kg from 1 December. Local fuel prices are determined by international oil prices - as well as the dollarrand value, as South Africa buys oil in dollar. The latest fuel price hikes are due in large part to a sharp fall in the rand against the dollar, which averaged at R15.85/$ over the past month, compared to R14.72 the…
