Apple, the consumer electronics giant, on Tuesday rolled out new versions of its popular iPod music player. CEO Steve Jobs also unveiled cheaper models of its Touch music player, a touchscreen-only device. An 8-gigabyte version now costs $229, down from $299. A 32-gigabyte model costs $399, down from $499. Suppose when the price of an iPod decreases by 20 percent, the number of songs downloaded on iTunes increases by 30 percent. Based on this information iTunes are
A. a normal good.
B. an inferior good.
C. substitutes for iPods.
D. complements to iPods.
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?
Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year:
1.
Kevin orders 50 cases of mezcal from a Mexican distributor at a price of $90 per case.
2.
A U.S. company sells 300 spark plugs to a Korean company at $5.00 per spark plug.
3.
Rajiv, a U.S. citizen, pays $900 for a TV he orders from Cosmart (a U.S. company).
Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year.
Hint: Be sure to enter a “0” if none of the transactions listed are included in a given category and to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative.

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_forward
- Consumers eating higher food costs The price of milk rose about 21% from July 2006 to July 2007, while the price of frozen orange juice increased 31%. At the same time, with higher gasoline prices, the demand for ethanol increased. Because ethanol is made from corn, the price of corn rose, which in turn increased the price of bread, chicken, cheese, and the fast-foods that use cheese. As people in China and India become richer, they are eating more beef and chicken and less rice and tofu-another source of higher food prices in the United States. Source: USA TODAY, September 6, 2007 Draw a curve to show the effect of the higher price of corn on the market for milk. Label it.

Suppose between 1950 and 2020, the supply of wheat increased substantially due to increases in productivity, shifting the wheat supply curve to the right. With this supply shift, the amount by which the price of wheat falls will be larger the more the demand for wheat. In addition, assume that between 1950 and 2020 the income of the average American increased substantially and that wheat is a normal good. With this increase in income, OA. the price of wheat will be unaffected. OB. the amount by which the price of wheat rises will be smaller the higher the income elasticity of wheat. C. the amount by which the price of wheat falls will be smaller the higher the income elasticity of wheat. OD. the amount by which the price of wheat rises will be smaller the lower the income elasticity of wheat.
