Therefore‚ analysis of this concept can be used to develop economic and business decisions and policies. The purpose of this assignment is

Microeconomics and the Laws of Supply and DemandECO/365October 13‚ 2014Professor CoulibalyComedian P.J.

Question 1 The table gives the supply schedules for jet-ski rides by three owners: Rick‚ Sam‚ and Tom‚ the only suppliers of jet-ski rides. Price (dollars per ride) | Quantity supplied (rides per week) | | Rick | Sam | Tom | 10.00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.50 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 15.00 | 10 | 5 | 0 | 17.50 | 15 | 10 | 5 | 20.00 | 20 | 15 | 10 | a. What is each owner’s minimum supply-price of 10 rides a day? At the minimum supply price of $15‚ Rick determines to supply 10 rides a day b. Which owner has

1i) Demand function for air travel between the U.S. and Europe has been estimated to be: ln Q = 2.737 - 1.247 ln P +1.905 ln I where Q denotes number of passengers (in thousands) per year‚ P the (average) ticket price and I the U.S. national income. Determine the price elasticity and income elasticity of demand (8 points). From Lecture Module 3 Equation 4 we learned the alternative formulation of elasticity. Alternative formulation of elasticity EP = dQ/dP * P/Q = dlnQ/dlnP Natural log:

Microeconomics and the Laws of Supply and Demand Your NAME ECO/365 July 6‚ 2015 INSTRUCTOR NAME Microeconomics and the Laws of Supply and Demand The simulation showed how a shift in the supply curve or the demand curve can lead to significant changes to the economic standing of the business. When the demand curve shifts downward or to the left it showed a decrease in demand from renters thus yielding less apartments rented. This happened when the new company who moved into the area had a higher
