ECONOMICS Please Show Your Work With an Explanation This problem set explores what happens to pricing when we add network effects, which are a specific form of positive externality. You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on. Because…
A cup of Starbucks Macchiato will cost you almost $6, and a similar cup at McDonald will cost about $3. The exotic Indonesian Civet Coffee will cost at least $25 per cup. What is the most that you are willing to pay for a cup? Is it worth to pay more? Do you have any consumer surplus on this consumption?
What does marginal mean ? Can you give an example on why this term is crucial concept in economics discussion of behavior of consumer and supplier.
The graph below depicts the daily demand and supply for parking spaces. The demand curve is downward sloping as usual, but the supply curve is vertical because there are a fixed number of spaces available at any given time. If the university does not charge a price to park by the hour, the problem this causes is a ______. To resolve this problem the university could charge $ _______ per hour to park. Part 2. The diagram below is a more realistic depiction of the market for parking spaces at another university. Rather than a single demand curve, there are two demands depending on the time of day. Peak demand, Dpeak, occurs between 9am and 3pm, and off peak demand, Doffp, occurs the rest of the day. Suppose the university want to add enough spaces to eliminate the shortage. How many additional spaces would the university need to add? ______ spaces Part 3. Suppose the university does not have enough funds to provide any more spaces. In order to eliminate parking congestion,…
Q32 Let's assume we are referring to the Canadian market for Random Access Memory (RAM) storage. If the price of RAM increases: Multiple Choice total revenue for RAM producers will decrease if demand for RAM is price inelastic. the consumer surplus for Canadian consumer will decrease. consumers will buy more because RAM is an inferior good. the consumer surplus of Canadian will increase. total revenue for RAM producers will increase if demand for RAM is price elastic.

On the same diagram, show a further impact of joining hotel quarantine programs on the demand for CBD hotel rooms. Explain the reasons for these changes, including a basic explanation of what a demand curve represents.
You are planning a move across town. Doing your research you find that the average rate of a moving company is $250 per hour for two movers (moving truck included). The marginal benefit you receive from each hour of the two movers’ time (and truck) is listed in the accompanying table. Hours of movers’ time Marginal benefit 1 hour $850 2 hours $620 3 hours $500 4 hours $250 5 hours $150 6 hours $100 7 hours $0 For how many hours should you hire the movers? How much consumer surplus do you receive? Now suppose that instead of paying per hour, a moving company offers a flat rate of $1,500 for two movers plus a truck for an eight-hour day. Would you hire the movers? How has your consumer surplus changed?
Supply and Demand Q2 The demand curve for tickets at an amusement park is: Q=D(p)=1900−45pQ=D(p)=1900-45p, p > 0 All customers pay the same ticket price. The marginal cost of serving a customer is $14. Using calculus and formulas (don't just build a table in a spreadsheet as in the Marginal Analysis I lesson) to find a solution, what is the profit-maximizing price? Round the equilibrium quantity DOWN to its integer part and round the equilibrium price to the nearest cent.
There is a bar on Off‐Main Street called the Rock‐n‐Roll Bar. All the people that go to that bar like to listen to rock‐n‐roll music, and they love live bands. If the bar owner brings bands in to play music on a Saturday night, she will make a lot of money. However there are tenants in this building who get annoyed by the loud music. The benefits/costs to the owner/tenants of having zero, one, two or three bands on a Saturday night are listed below. Assume the bar owner has the right to hire as many bands as she likes. Iftransaction costs were $90, split between the bar owner and the tenants, how manybands would play? What would social welfare be? A. Three bands would play and social welfare would be ‐100.B. Two bands would play and social welfare would be 75.C. Two bands would play and social welfare would be ‐15.D. No bands would play and social welfare would be 0.E.
