None of the above. Answer: C 4) Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q=250 - .25p + 4pc‚ where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s)‚ p is the price of a DVR‚ and pc is the price of cable television. How much does demand for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10‚000 DVRs B) increases by 16‚000 DVRs C) drops by 2‚500 DVRs D) increases by 4‚000 DVRs Answer: A 5) Consider the demand function Qd = 150 - 2P. The effects of other determinants

Demand for Corn If the demand for corn increases due to its use as an alternative energy source‚ the supply of corn substitute like soybean would decrease. This would happen because as the demand of corn rises‚ the price of corn would rise. Therefore the producers of a substitute like soybean would start producing corn instead of the soybean considering that they both have the same farmland. The producers of soybean will expect to make more profit by selling corn at a higher price assuming the cost

The Demand For Labor The demand for labor and other productive inputs is different from the demand for consumer products such as iPods‚ books‚ haircuts‚ and pizza. Firms use workers to produce the products demanded by consumers‚ and so economists say that labor demand is a derived demand. That is‚ it is determined by‚ or derived from‚ the demand for the products that workers produce. • Labor Demand by an Individual Firm in the Short Run. Consider a perfectly competitive firm that produces

Increase in Demand (Tastes‚ Ads‚ and Preferences) New RedBull Energy Tea! RedBull Energy Drink is introducing a new line of drinks‚ including the new RedBull Energy Tea. Due to the new line‚ the demand for the product will increase from past history. As the demand increases‚ a shortage will occur because more people will have a higher demand for the new line of products. Since the high demands won’t be able to be met‚ we must raise the prices until the shortage disappears and the new equilibrium

Demand Versus Supply The Unites States economy shapes so many multifaceted interactions amidst health care employment‚ costs‚ health care coverage‚ as well as economic access to health outcomes and health care. In this paper‚ the student will select a service‚ such as health information technology‚ and discuss the effects on consumer demand on health information technology versus the economic variables of cost‚ access‚ and supply.

Supply and Demand The supply and demand process can be somewhat difficult and knowing the fundamental factors on both sides is essential to business success. Focusing on the Chick-fil-A fast food chain‚ there are factors that are a determinant to supply and demand. A technology change‚ the price of substituting goods‚ population changes and consumer preferences all impact business operations. Technology changes within Chick-fil-A restaurants will allow locations to run efficiently and assist

Colander (2010)‚ economics is the study of how human beings manage their wants and desires. Buyers based their wants and needs on marginal costs and marginal benefits. Sellers based their supply production on the consumer demand shift‚ and seller set their prices according to the demand change. That is just some of the basics of economics. There are two types of economic structure: macroeconomics and microeconomics. Colander (2010) defines microeconomics as “the study of how individual choice is influenced

CHAPTER 9 OLIGOPOLY AND FIRM ARCHITECTURE 1. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 370 – P The firm’s marginal cost function is given below: MC = 10 + 4Q Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Solution: P = 370 – Q so TR = 370Q – Q2 and MR = 370 – 2Q MR = 370 – 2Q = 10 + 4Q = MC so Q = 60 and P = 310 2. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 135 – 0.5P The firm’s marginal cost function is given

Demand forecasting Demand Forecasting is the activity of estimating the quantity of a product or service that consumers will purchase. Demand forecasting involves techniques including both informal methods‚ such as educated guesses‚ and quantitative methods‚ such as the use of historical sales data or current data from test markets. Demand forecasting may be used in making pricing decisions‚ in assessing future capacity requirements‚ or in making decisions on whether to enter a new market. •

Supply and Demand Simulation This week’s simulation is based on GoodLife Management. GoodLife Management is located in the fictitious town of Atlantis‚ and rents two-bedroom apartments on a month-to-month basis. The simulation provided working examples of several factors that effectively change the supply and demand of GoodLife’s rentals over the course of several years. These factors include GoodLife’s management direction‚ population changes within Atlantis and outlying areas‚ changes in consumer’s
