The function Q = F(p,ps,y) describes how the monthly demand, Q (measured in 100s of Widgets), for Grinch Inc. Widgets depends on the variables: • p = the price/Widget that Grinch Inc. sets (measured in S). • Ps= average price of substitutes for Grinch Inc. Widgets (measured in $). • y = average disposable income in the market for Widgets (measured in $1000s). When average disposable income in the market is $4200 and Grinch Inc.s price is $12 and the average price of substitutes is $11... · Q = 66 Op=-0.28 2ps = 0.52 Qy = 0.31 If average monthly income increases to $4400 and the average price of substitutes increases to $11.35, by approximately how much can Grinch Inc. increase their price while keeping demand for their Widgets fixed at Q = 66 ? Ο Δρ = 0.87 O There is no way to estimate this from the given information.. O Ap = 0.53 O Ap = 0.72 .

Suppose a model with only two goods, X and Y. Draw the budget constraint of a consumer with income I who faces a price for good Y equal to 1 and a price for good X that increases with the quantity of good X bought. Explain the shape of the graph using the relationship between the slope of the budget line and the ratio of prices.
True/ False Income and consumption has a direct relationship for the normal goods.
The relationship between a consumer’s income and the quantity of X, he consumes is given by the equation M=1000Q2

Spreadsheet exercises. Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function Qd = 130 − 4p + 2Y + 3pm − 2pc, where Qd is the quantity demanded, p is the market price, Y is the monthly budget that anaverage consumer has available for entertainment, pm is the average price of a movie, and pc is the price of a controller that is required to play these games. 1. Given that Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc = $30, use Excel to calculate quantity demanded for p = $10 to p = $80 in $5 increments. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the demand curve. 2. Now, Y increases to $120. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the new demand curve in the same diagram. 3. Let Y = $100 and pc = $30 again, but let pm increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the graph of the new demandcurve. 4. Let Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1 and use Excel to draw…
Consumers can choose between gas powered cars and electic cars. Suppose the price of gas increases by 25%. We can expect the price of electic cars to : Decrease Remain Unchanged Increase It is impossible to say
The reason the substitution effect works to encourage a consumer to buy less of a product when its price increases is: a. the product is now relatively more expensive than it was before. b. other products are now relatively more expensive than they were before. c. the real income of the consumer has been increased. d. the real income of the consumer has been decreased
Q1) Sales are a function of advertising in newspapers and magazines (X, Y). S = XY2 The price of advertising in newspapers and magazines is Rs.5 and Rs.10 respectively. The total budget for advertising is Rs.105. For maximizing sales, find out the best combination of advertisements in newspapers and magazines by using the Lagrangian multiplier. (Hint: Make equation of the budget line with the help of the above information).
The horizontally oriented definition of DEMAND states that "demand is the quantitites of a good that buyers are willing and able to buy at various prices in a given time interval." Which of the following statements are TRUE? If I really like a good, it does not matter how much I am able to afford to spend on it. The demand for a good is a specific amount. Demand is a behavioral relationship expressing what quantities buyers would want and be able to buy at various prices. If I can't afford to buy a product at today's available prices, I do not have a demand. The demand is all the possible price quantity combinations Demand depends on the availability of supply. Demand is a relationship between price as a variable and quantity demanded as a variable. Demand is a flow and requires a time interval be be fully understood.
What are the determinants for an individual demand? Derive with the help of indifferencecurves and the budget constraint the optimal consumption plan. How do you transfer theoptimal consumption plan into an individual demand function? (use graphs)
Variables typically included in a multivariate demand function (other than the price and quantity of the item the demand function represents) are consumer tastes and preferences, the number of buyers, spendable (disposable) income, prices of substitute goods, prices of complementary goods, advertising expenditures, weather, and expectations. Recalling that the price of the item being considered is placed on the vertical axis, and the quantity on the horizontal axis, the other variables are termed demand shifters. Please answer the following questions about the affect changes in other variables might have on the demand for the item. These changes will either cause demand to increase (shift right) or decrease (shift left). Use either word as applicable, for the short answer. If the price of a good increases because the demand for it increases, What would you expect the demand for its complement to do? If the demand for coffee beans increases, then what is likely to happen…
