You are in the process of cleaning up your basement which has collections of historical media publications. In one of the historical articles, The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.”
Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk
according to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises?
Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable? (Hint: Notice that The Globe and Mail is careless about the distinction between demand and quantity demanded

- Draw a graph with arcade games on the horizontal axis and newspapers on the vertical axis. Joe has $10 per week to allocate between these commodities. The price of newspapers is $0.50. At the initial price for arcade games of $0.25, Joe purchases 10 newspapers and plays 20 games. When the price of games increases to $0.50, Joe purchases 8 newspapers and plays 12 games. When the price of games increases again to $0.75, Joe buys 5 papers and plays 10 games. Use the information given to calculate Joe’s elasticity of demand for arcade games between $0.25 and $0.50, and between $0.50 and $0.75. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Because of this, there have been attempts to adjust these payments so as to keep up with changing prices (inflation). This process is called “indexing”; this question will lead you through the process. Suppose that in the year 2018, a typical Social Security recipient consumed only Food (F) and Housing (H). The price of housing was $150/unit and the price of food was $50/unit. Denote the quantities of food and housing per month by F and H respectively. This consumer received $1500/month and consumed 5 units of housing and 15 units of food. (a) Write out the consumer’s budget constraint and demonstrate that the bundle chosen falls on that budget constraint. (b) Draw the budget constraint on a graph (Housing on the horizontal axis) with the optimal bundle labeled. Draw the indifference curve through that optimal bundle.

- Analysts say that the increase in gasoline prices comes a drop in SUV sales and trade-in values at dealerships.The U.S. Department of energy said that during the past week, U.S. gasoline topped $3 a gallon - the highest level since October 2008. According to Alec Gutierrez,lead analyst for vehicle evaluation at Kelley Blue Book, SUV sales have decreased about 1 percent since the last major gasoline price hike in spring 2008. He doesn't believe that SUV sales will decrease significantly unless prices reach $3.50 to $4 per gallon. if a gasoline price hike of 5 percent caused the SUV sales drop described, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between gasoline and SUVs?arrow_forwardThe market price of pizzas in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. Some students suggest that the price increased because several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. Other students attribute the increase in the price of pizzas to a recent decrease in the price of beer. Everyone agrees that the decrease in the price of beer was caused by a recent decrease in the price of grain, which is not generally used in making pizzas. The first group of students thinks the increase in the price of pizzas is due to the fact that several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the first group’s explanation for the increase in the price of pizzas. (graph in photo) The second group of students attributes the increase in the price of pizzas to the decrease in the price of beer.…arrow_forwardThe price of a DVD rental is 1.50 dollar and the price of a downloaded movie is $1.
