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.]

Imagine you are the owner of a natural gas company. You can either extract as much of the resource as fast as possible or delay extraction until a future time. Projections indicate that the price of natural gas is expected to fall in the future. What would you do in the present? a. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a rightward shift of the current supply curve in the future. B. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement down the current supply curve.C. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement up the current supply curve.D. Sell as little natural gas as possible in the present and delay extraction until the future—reflected by a leftward shift of the current supply curve in the future.
d. Holding Donald's income and Pd constant at $120 and $1 respectively, what is Donald's demand curve for carrots? e. Suppose that a tax of $1 per unit is levied on donuts. How will this alter Donald's utility maximizing market basket of goods? f. Suppose that, instead of the per unit tax in (e), a lump sum tax of the same dollar amount is levied on Donald. What is Donald's utility maximizing market basket? g. The taxes in (e) and (f) both collect exactly the same amount of revenue for the government, which of the two taxes would Donald prefer? Show your answer numerically and explain why Donald prefers the per unit tax over the lump sum tax, or vice versa, or why he is indifferent between the two taxes.
