To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value $50,000 per year Average American household income Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) $200 per roundtrip Room rate at the Grandiose Hotel and Casino, which is near the Peacock $250 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.

Assuming everything else is held constant: If both of these impacts occur at the same time, what do you expect to happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of new homes?

In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s firstsignificant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the pricechange didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffeesand I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size(small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase.

- Pundits often complain about gasoline price increases at the pump during periods of market oil price increases, stating that the gasoline at the gas station was purchased prior to oil market price increases. “Why should gas that is purchased and held in inventory, prior to market price increases, be increased in price? Price gouging!” are typical comments.arrow_forwardThe blue curve on the following graph represents the demand curve facing a firm that can set its own prices. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 8, 16, 20, 24, 32, and 40 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 8 versus 7 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the eighth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the eighth unit produced is . Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 16 versus 15 units. Then,…arrow_forwardUse the following general linear supply function to answer the next question: Qs = 60 + 8P - 4P + 20F, where Qs is the quantity supplied of the good, Pis the price of the good, P is the price of an input, and Fis the number of firms producing the good. When P = $20 and F= 60, the INVERSE supply function is Multiple Choice P= 132,5 + 0.125Qs. P= -147,5 + 0.125Qs. P= 260 + 8Qs P= 147.5 + 8Qs.arrow_forward
- Compare and contrast the law of demand vs. the law of supply. Keeping the law of demand and the law of supply in mind, consider the following: on a typical day, there are millions of stocks sold on the stock market. The number of shares sold always equals the number of shares purchased. This means the quantity of each company’s shares demanded equals the quantity supplied. If that is true, why do stock prices constantly change? Doesn’t this go against the law of supply and demand?arrow_forwardIn her article for Slate, Glaser (2017) suggests that consumers are willing to pay any price for the latest Apple iPhone. In fact, even those who are not willing to do so may be encouraged or ‘nudged’ to purchase the latest device. However, a range of studies have indicated serious health implications associated with smartphone usage. Assuming companies like Apple cannot easily increase or decrease supply in the short-run, how might this information alter the market equilibrium for smartphones? including diagramsarrow_forwardDiscuss in detail, demand function and its factorsarrow_forward
