Your best estimates indicate that‚ based on current tax rates‚ the monthly market demand for telecommunication services is given by Qd =250 - 5P and the market supply (including taxes) is Qs = 4P - 110 (both in millions)‚ where P is the monthly price of telecommunication services. The senator is considering tax reform that would dramatically cut tax rates‚ leading to a supply function under the new tax policy of Qs = 4.171P - 110. How much money would a typical consumer save

Demand‚ Supply‚ Market Equilibrium and Elasticity A. Elasticity of demand is shown when the demands for a service or goods vary according to the price. Cross-price elasticity is shown by a change in the demand for an item relative to the change in the price of another.

Supply and Demand Simulation ECO/365 November 26‚ 2012 The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Supply and Demand simulation from the student website. The idea is to identify two microeconomic and two macroeconomic principles present in the simulation and to explain why these principles are categorized as macro or microeconomic. The paper will also determine one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve from the simulation‚ as well as why these

For the 9 year period in the simulation the housing market had many ups and downs because of businesses moving into the area bringing an increased amount of jobs‚ the change in consumer preferences and company expectations‚ and the policy changes induced from the government.

I chose these because if the people of Atlantis’ have low income‚ they will not be able to pay for apartments in the area that have high rent. This would hinder the housing and apartment complex growth in the area because there would be no economic support. Two principles of microeconomics
