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.
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.
Let Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1 and use Excel to draw the new demand curve.

- The following table shows two demand schedules for a given style of men’s shoe—that is, how many pairs per month will be demanded at various prices at a men’s clothing store in Seattle called Stromnord. Suppose that Stromnord has exactly 65 pairs of this style of shoe in inventory at the start of the month of July and will not receive any more pairs of this style until at least August 1. a. If demand is D1, what is the lowest price that Stromnord can charge so that it will not run out of this model of shoe in the month of July? What if demand is D2? b. If the price of shoes is set at $75 for both July and August and demand will be D2 in July and D1 in August, how many pairs of shoes should Stromnord order if it wants to end the month of August with exactly zero pairs of shoes in its inventory? What if the price is set at $55 for both months?arrow_forwardExplain why you think that the demand of one product may diminish as prices are increasedarrow_forwardThe price of a widget decreases from $1 to $0.60, and in response to the price change the quantity demanded increases from 7 to 9 units.

Also assume that the price elasticity of corn is 0.10, while the price elasticity of wheat is 0.15. For the following questions about elasticities, simply use the percentage changes that are provided rather than attempting to calculate those percentage changes yourself using the midpoint formula. a. If the price of corn fell by 25 percent to $3 per bushel, by would the quantity demanded of corn increase? What if the price of corn fell by 50 percent to $2 per bushel? b. To what value would the price of wheat have to fall to induce consumers to increase their purchases of wheat by 5 percent? c. If the government imposes a $0.40 per bushel tax on corn so that the price of corn rises by 10 percent to $4.40 per bushel, by what percentage would the quantity demanded of corn decrease?
