Food prices in sports stadiums are notoriously high because there is a limit on the numberof vendors that can operate in the stadium, which is a barrier to entry. In 2017, the AtlantaFalcons, an American football team, lowered the barriers to entry by allowing more foodvendors into their stadium. If the market for food in the stadium follows our perfect marketassumptions, what might you expect happened after this change? Do not worry about theunderlying facts of each statement, only whether it makes economic sense given our model.(Select one or more.)(a) The price of food in the stadium decreased because of an increase in supply.(b) The price of food in the stadium decreased because of an increase in demand.(c) The quantity of food sold decreased because of a movement of the supply curve.(d) The quantity of food sold increased because of a movement along the demand curve.(e) Profit per vendor decreased because of lower food prices.(f) Profit per vendor increased because of greater…
A5Some online retailers include free shipping while others charge for shipping. In July 2006, bajangles.com offered a Sony 60-inch rear projection TV for $2,968.99 with free shipping, while MB superstore offered the same TV for $2,692.95 with shipping charge of $299.50 to Alaska. (a) Using relevant demand and supply curves, explain whether it matters for consumers if the retailer offers free shipping or charges for shippin (b) If consumers view bajangles.com and MB superstore as equivalent (in terms of quality of service), how should their prices for the same TV compare? Are the prices consistent with your answer in (a (c) If consumers are biased in decision-making by anchoring, how would that affect your answer in (a)?)?g.
Assume the Witcher video games only have Nintendo switch versions. CD Projekt Red announces the highly anticipated Witcher 4 game will be released next month. No new Nintendo switches are available for the next 6 months due to covid related supply issues. What will the impact of this announcement be on the market for USED Nintendo switches? Explain by Microeconomics only. (i.e. quantity demand, supply; demand curve)
The following graph shows the output for Pat, a profit-maximizing corn farmer. 1. Suppose the corn market consists of 1000 farms, including and identical to Pat's. In the table below determince the supply in column 2. 2. If the market demand for corn is shown in column 3 of the table below, at equilibrium price how much will Pat produce? Is she generating a profit or a loss ? How much will the market produce? Is the market genearting a profit or a loss ?3. Given the results from part (b), what will happen to the corn market in the long run ?
Exercise 6.3.Little Kona is a small coffee company considering entering a market dominated by Big Brewer. The benefits of each of them depend on whether or not the first enters and whether the second sets a high or low price: After analazing the graph, answer the following question: Great Brew threatens Little Kona by telling her, "If you go in, we're going to set a low price, so the best thing you can do is not get in." Do you think Little Kona should believe the threat? Why yes or why not?

Suppose that in a competitive market for ukuleles, three buyers (Peter, Paul, and Mary) have the marginal benefit (MB) schedules below. Quantity MB—Peter MB—Paul MB—Mary 1 150 140 130 2 120 110 100 3 90 80 70 4 60 50 40 5 30 20 10 If the equilibrium price is $80, calculate the quantity purchased by each buyer.
Larry, Curly, and Moe run the only saloon in town.Larry wants to sell as many drinks as possiblewithout losing money. Curly wants the saloon tobring in as much revenue as possible. Moe wantsto make the largest possible profits. Using a singlediagram of the saloon’s demand curve and its costcurves, show the price and quantity combinationsfavored by each of the three partners. Explain. (Hint:Only one of these partners will want to set marginalrevenue equal to marginal cost.)
Sam is a personal trainer working for private clients. He just moved from California to a city on the East Coast and he needs to create his newclient base. A colleague told him that on the East Coast personal trainers face an inverse demand P = 300 – 20Q, that is when working with Qclients, a personal trainer can find one more client willing to pay P = 300 – 20Q for a weekly training session. Sam’s opportunity cost of a twohour training session is MC = 10Q. We make the heroic assumption that clients are infinitely divisible so that we can use calculus to solveSam’s profit maximizing problems.At first, Sam doesn’t read East Coasters that well and he can’t tell who is willing to pay more money for training sessions. Hence, he chargesall clients the same price.a) In part naively in part to get to know more people, Sam decides to sign up any customer willing to pay a price at least as high as his marginalcost of time. That is, Sam behaves like a price-taker. How many clients does he…

Suppose there are three buyers of candy in a market: Tex, Dex, and Rex. The market demand and the individual demands of Tex, Dex, and Rex are shown in the following table. a. Fill in the table for the missing values.b. Which buyer demands the least at a price of $5? The most at a price of $7?c. Which buyer’s quantity demanded increases the most when the price is lowered from $7 to $6?d. Which direction would the market demand curve shift if Tex withdrew from the market? What if Dex doubled his purchases at each possible price?e. Suppose that at a price of $6, the total quantity demanded increases from 19 to 38. Is this a “change in the quantity demanded” or a “change in demand”?
