Table #1: The demand schedule below pertains to sandwiches demanded per week Quantity Demanded Price $3.00 Alfred $5,00 $3.00 $5.00 Belinda $3.00 55.00 Charissa Refer to Table #1. Suppose Alfred, Belinda, and Charissa are the only demanders of sandwiches. Also suppose: O () x = 2; (ii) the current price of a sandwich is $5.00; (iii) the market quantity supplied of sandwiches is 10, and (iv) the law of supply applies to the supply of sandwiches. Then O there is a shortage of 3 sandwiches and the price would be expected to rise from its current level of $5.00 O there is a shortage of 3 sandwiches and the price would be expected to fall from its current level of $5.00 O there is a surplus of 5 sandwiches and the price would be expected to rise from its current level of $5.00 O there is a surplus of 5 sandwiches and the price would be expected to fall from its current level of $5.00

Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Praxilla, who lived in ancient Greece, derives utility from reading poems and from eating cucumbers. Praxilla gets 30 units of marginal utility from her first poem 27 units of marginal utility from her second poem 24 units of marginal utility from her third poem, and so on, with marginal utility declining by three units for each additional poem. Praxilla gets six units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, five units of marginal utility for each of her next three cucumbers consumed, four units of marginal utility for each of the following three cucumbers consumed, and so on, with marginal utility declining by one for every three cucumber consumed. A poem costs three bronze coins hut a cucumber costs only one bronze coin. Praxilla has 18 bronze coins. Sketch Praxillas budget set between poems and cucumbers, placing poems on the vertical axis and cucumbers on the horizontal axis. Start off with the choice of zero poems and 18 cucumbers, and calculate the changes in marginal utility of moving along the budget line to the next choice of one poem and 15 cucumbers. Using this step-by-step process based on marginal utility, create a table and identify Praxillas utilityâ€”maximizing choice. Compare the marginal utility of the two goods and the relative prices at the optimal choice to see if the expected relationship holds. Hint: Label the table columns: 1) Choice, 2} Marginal Gain from More Poems, 3) Marginal Loss from Fewer Cucumbers, 4) Overall Gain or Loss, 5) Is the previous choice Optimal? Label the table rows: 1) 0 Poems and 18 Cucumbers, 2) 1 Poem and 15 cucumbers, 3) 2 Poems and 12 cucumbers, 4) 3 Poems and 9 Cucumbers, 5) 4 Poems and 6 cucumbers 6) 5 Poems and 3 Cucumbers, 7) 6 Poems and 0 Cucumbers.
As a general rule, is it safe to assume that a change in the price of a good will always have its most significant impact on the quantity demanded of that good, rather than on the quantity demanded of miller goods? Explain.
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
Suppose there are 100 consumers with identical individual demand curves. When the price ofa movie ticket is $8, the quantity demanded for each person is 5. When the price is $4, thequantity demanded for each person is 9. Assuming the law of demand holds, which of thefollowing choices is the most likely quantity demanded in the market when the price is $6? Group of answer choices 700 1,000 1,200 400

Be fast Suppose there are three (3) consumers in a market for bottles of perfume; Mutumbu, Jasanu and Julius The individual demand for perfumes for each of these consumers is given as 10 bottles for Mutumbu, 15 bottles for Jasanu and 25 bottles for Julius at $60 per bottle for perfume. Thus, the market demand for perfumes if the market price is $60 is: (a)40 bottles (b)60 bottles (c)80 bottles (d) None of the above
The demand for pancakes is given by Qd = 40 – 5P and the supply is given byQs = 10P – 20, where P = price What is the equilibrium price and equilibriumquantity? i. The price for iPhones in Barbados has increased significantly. Demand for thecellular device has also increased. This is contrary to the law of demand. Doyou agree or disagree? Explain your answer. ii. Identify the flaw in this analysis: “If more Jamaicans become vegetarians, thedemand for beef will fall. The decrease in the demand for beef will cause theprice of beef to fall. The lower price, however, will then increase the demand.In the new equilibrium, Jamaicans might end up consuming more beef thanthey did initially.”
