Compare the impact of a recession that reduces consumer income by 10 percent on the consumption of technology goods and house rentals. Suppose that the income elasticity of demand for technology goods is 3 and the income elasticity of demand for house rentals is 0.3. Based on your response, make a policy argument to support through government funding either businesses or house rentals.

Can you please answer these questions? I recommend the typed question is answered over the picture senario 1, if you can only do one.Due to good weather, there is an increase in the demand for the good. The new demand equation is Qd = 190 – 2P.

Consider a public policy aimed at smoking. The government commissioned a research firm, Super Consulting, to conduct a study on the market demand for cigarettes in Malaysia. The firm reported that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price? If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking after 1 year from now or 5 years from now? Explain Super Consulting also found that teenagers have higher price elasticity than adults. Why might this be true? Explain Outline and discuss the appropriate economic policies that can be implemented to reduce smoking.
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is between -0.3 and -0.4. Suppose congress, influenced by studies linking cigarette smoking to cancer plans to raise the excise tax in cigarettes so the price rises by 10 percent. The expected effect the price increase will have on cigarette consumption is?
Consider the following linear demand function where QD = quantity demanded, P = selling price, and Y = disposable income: QD = -36 - 2.1P + .24Y. The coefficient of Y (i.e., .24) indicates that (all other things being held constant): * for a one percent increase in disposable income, quantity demanded would increase by 0.24 percent for a one unit increase in disposable income, quantity demanded would increase by 2.1 units for a one percent increase in disposable income, quantity demanded would decline by 2.1 percent for a one percent increase in disposable income, quantity demanded would decline by 0.24 percent
