Graph the substitution and income effects 3 Post-election programFigure 2 exhibits real personal consumption expenditure annualized growth. Consumption growthconsistently declined during the 2016-2020 period, in spite of the 'Great Recession' having ended morethan 10 years ago and in spite of claims of the current administration that consumers are better off,even prior to the beginning of the pandemic.Based on this evidence, assume Democrats and Republicans lose the 2020 election to reformist ElizabethH., who becomes the new president of the U.S.. Suppose that, in an attempt to make consumers betteroff, she decides to partially subsidize agents' consumption, based on the amount of hours they work.That is, the government subsidizes a fraction m > 0 of the consumer's wage income.1The 'hysteresis' effect refers to the loss of skills or 'appeal' to firms due to long periods without formal employment,thus resulting in increasingly higher probabilities of remaining unemployed.

Budget constraints recreate the different combinations of goods that a consumer can purchase.…

Problem 2 The demand-function for a given consumer good (A) is given as: ?_a=1400−4?_?−2?_?−0.005_? Where PA = 200 USD is the price for good A, PB = 50 USD is the price for good B, and I = 20,000 USD is the disposable income. Question 2.1 Provide examples of three more factors that influence demand of consumer good A, besides the ones presented in the equation above. Briefly explain why and how they would influence demand. Question 2.2. Find price point elasticity for good A and provide an economic interpretation. Question 2.3. Find cross price elasticity between goods A and B and provide an economic interpretation.
Question Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).

more than what they have expected. In Philippines alone they were able to generate sale of ticket at 5,210 at a price of 170 pesos. However, the movie was able to raise its ticket sales to 6,000 pesos when it lowered the price to 150 pesos, in anticipation to increase more their profit margin. Calculate ticket revenues at each price level Did the pricing promotion increase or decrease ticket revenues? Estimate the ticket linear demand curve How should ticket prices be set to maximize total ticket revenue?
Exercise 1: Identifying the determinants of demand. In worksheet 5B, you have seen have how an increase in demand is depicted on a graph by a shift in the demand curve. • When the demand curve shifts upward and to the right, this is indicative of an increase in demand. • When the demand curve shifts to the left, this is indicative of a decrease in demand. • Factors that result in a change in demand are the determinants of demand. Working as a part of a team of three or four, complete the table below. For each determinant of demand: • indicate whether demand will increase or decrease; • provide an explanation as to why.

Total spending will change by more in market A.c. Total spending will change by more in market B.d. One cannot tell what the relative changes in total spending will be.
