- Consider Cowboys Stadium, a large football stadium that can seat approximately 80,000 people (and hold over 100,000 people), located in Arlington, Texas. If the Super Bowl, the game that determines pro football's champion team for the year, is played in Cowboys Stadium, the quantity of parking spots demanded will far exceed capacity. On a typical game day in the regular season, the quantity of parking spots demanded will only slightly exceed capacity. For smaller events, less than half of the parking spots are typically filled. Assume the marginal cost of providing another parking spot, once the parking lot has already been built, is $0 up to capacity. In the following table, match each event to the most likely pricing strategy per parking spot. see screemshot for chartarrow_forwardSome have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view? Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.arrow_forwardSome have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking.

- Suppose a firm sells two goods, Good A and Good B. Use the following information to answer questions that follow: Profit maximising price of Good A = R6000 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good A = R1200 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good B = R400 Total revenue of Good A = R80000 Total revenue of Good B = R68000 Rothschild index of Good B = 0.6 Price elasticity of the market demand for Good B = -1.2 2.1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (Ed) for Good A. Ed of Good A = 2.2 Suppose that the firm noticed that when it increased the price of Good A from R4000 to R6000, the sales of Good B decreased from 8000 to 2000 units. Calculate and classify the cross-price elasticity of demand between Good A and Good B. Ec = Good A and Good B are classified as (substitutes/compliments) 2.3.
