Viking InterWorks is one of many manufacturers that supplies memory products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of desktop systems. The CEO recently read van article in a trade publication that reported the projected demand for desktop systems to be Qddesktop = 1,600 −2Pdesktop + .6M (in millions of units), where Pdesktop is the price of a desktop system and M is consumer income. The same article reported that the incomes of the desktop systems’ primary consumer demographic would increase 4.2 percent this year to $61,300 and that the selling price of a desktop would decrease to $980, both of which the CEO viewed favorably for Viking. In a related article, the CEO read that the upcoming year’s projected demand for 512 MB desktop memory modules is Qdmemory = 11,200 − 100Pmemory − 2Pdesktop (in thousands of units), where Pmemory is the market price for a 512 MB memory module and Pdesktop is the selling price of a desktop system.

- An individual sets aside a certain amount of his income per month to spend on his two hobbies, collecting wine and collecting books. Given the information below, illustrate the demand curve for wine.arrow_forwardIt is common for supermarkets to carry both generic (store-label) and brand-name (producer-label) varieties of sugar and other products. Many consumers view these products as perfect substitutes, meaning that consumers are always willing to substitute a constant proportion of the store brand for the producer brand. Consider a consumer who is always willing to substitute four pounds of a generic store-brand sugar for two pounds of a brand-name sugar. Do these preferences exhibit a diminishing marginal rate of substitution between store-brand and producer-brand sugar? (Click to select) Yes No Assume that this consumer has $24 of income to spend on sugar, and the price of store-brand sugar is $1 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar is $3 per pound. How much of each type of sugar will be purchased?Producer-brand sugar: poundsStore-brand sugar: poundsIf prices change such that the price of store-brand sugar was $2 per pound and the price of producer-brand sugar was $3 per…arrow_forwardIt is common for supermarkets to carry both generic (store-label) and brand-name (producer-label) varieties of sugar and other products.

- Joseph earns $200 per week and spends his entire income on cheese which cost $5 per pound and crackers which cost $ 2 per box. Draw Josephs budget constraint. If the price of cheese increases to $8 per pound, what will happen to Josephs budget constraint?arrow_forwardEarlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).arrow_forwardEarlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo.
