If you were in charge of the National Park Service, what would you do if you observed large numbers of cars waiting in line to get into popular parks, like Yosemite or Yellowstone? Select one: O a. Encourage people to vacation at Disney World. O b. Keep fees constant across all parks to promote equality. O c. Raise the fee for those parks. O d. Ban cars from popular parks.

(a) Explain verbally and digramatically why Christmas trees are cheaply sold on Christmas Eve (compared to their intial price) by considering both demand and supply. (b) Assuming zero disposal costs, why is the correct profit maximising price to charge for the unsold trees on Christmas Eve the one at which the elasticity of demand is equal to -1? Illustrate using a diagram. Would the price be lower still if there were some disposal costs that the seller would face to dispose of the unsold trees?

1. A U.S. patent for the drug that most effectively treats HIV prevents other drug companies from producing a comparable substitute for patients. a. What is the effect of patent protection on the demand for a drug? How does the shape of the demand curve differ before and after a patent has expired? Support your explanation with a graph. b.Demand curves respond to preferences, income, and costs of substitute and complements. Discuss how these factors determine a country’s demand for HIV treatments. How might the effects of the patent protection differ across countries?
