Explain why this is so. Use a diagram to support your answer.

Pundits often complain about gasoline price increases at the pump during periods of market oil price increases, stating that the gasoline at the gas station was purchased prior to oil market price increases. "Why should gas that is purchased and held in inventory, prior to market price increases, be increased in price? Price gouging!" are typical comments. Please comment knowledgeably on any conceivable economic justification for raising gas station prices, for gasoline that is purchased and held in inventory, prior to the market price increase. Only use information found in chapter three fundamental Economic Problem: Scarcity and Choice Textbook: Economics: principles and policy 14th by William Baumol

Hanna Corporation markets a compact microwave oven. In 2010 they sold 23,000 units at $375 each. Per capita disposable income in 2010 was $6,750. Hanna economists have determined that the arc price elasticity for this microwave oven is −1.2. Which the following statement is wrong? 1. A price decrease in 2011 will help company revenue growth 2. If all other things remain equal, sales volume for 2011 are 27,312 if price is reduced to 325. 3. Assume that arc income elasticity for microwave ovens is 2.5 and price and income effects are independent and additive. Given that the price is reduced to $325, and that per capita disposable income increases to $7,000, sales volume for 2011 will be 29,032. 4. A price increase in 2011 will help company revenue growth.
Assuming you are the manager of the travel department of a large corporation and your sales department has high consumption for air travel. Assume further that the president of the corporation wants you to reduce the travel expenditures in the next year. How will you curb the air travel? Using Demand and Supply Analysis, how will you predict the airfare, given the following assumptions? A number of new, small airlines have recently entered the industry and others are expected to enter next year? Broadband internet videoconferencing is becoming a popular, cost-effective alternative to business travel for many corporations? The trend is expected to accelerate next year as telecommunications firms begin cutting prices on teleconferencing rates.
Explain what factors might have caused investor asset demand for real estate to grow in Question 2.8. Question 8 Suppose investor demand for real estate assets grows in the sense that prevailing cap rates (OARs) in the property asset market fall from 10% to 8%. Assuming usage demand remains constant in the space market, show on a four-quadrant diagram, similar to Exhibit 2-4b, the short- and long-run effects of this change in investor demand. [Hint: You can answer qualitatively or recognize that specific quantitative answers will depend on the shapes and slopes of the curves (i.e., the elasticities) in each quadrant.]
