O B. supply is highly inelastic and demand is highly elastic. O C. both supply and demand are highly elastic. OD. both supply and demand are highly inelastic. O E. supply is highly elastic and demand is highly inelastic.

The demand and supply for taxi cab Rides are given as follows; QD = 600 + pO - pR and QS = 200 – pO + pR Where pR is the price of a taxi ride, and pO is the price of oil. As you see, both the demand and the supply of taxi cab rides are affected by the price of oil, pO. Assume that pO < 3. (a) For a given pO, derive the equilibrium price and quantity for the taxi rides (both the price and/or quantity might depend on pO, naturally). Does the equilibrium price for rides increase/decrease/stay the same as the price oil increases? Does the equilibrium quantity of rides increase/decrease/stay the same as the price oil increases? (b) (Conceptually rather hard!) Consider the equilibrium above, as a function of the given oil price, pO. As the oil gets more expensive, what happens to the price elasticity of demand AT THE EQUILIBRIUM point?
Let (inverse) demand be Pb= 101-3 Qb and (inverse) supply be Pv = 16+3 Qv. Consider the PRICE CEILING (P_low) depicted, what is the reduction in tradecaused by the PRICE CEILING?

suppose a professional basketball game is to be played at a suburban arena, which increases demand for parking on the night of the game. If the suburban area has the ability to create additional parking during periods of peak demand, then O A the supply of parking will be more elastic and the price of parking wil increase by a relatively large amount the night of the game. O B the supply of parking wil be more elastic and the price of parking wil increase by arelatively small amount the night of the game the supply of parking wil be more inelastic and the price of parking will not change the night of the game o D, the supply of parking wil be more inelastic and the price of parking will increase by a small amount the night of the game. relatively o E. the supply of Paking will be perfectly elastic and the price of parking will increase by a relatively large amount the night of the game.
