1. Compute the elasticities for each independent variable. Note: Write down all of your calculations. When P = 500‚ C = 600‚ I = 5500‚ A = 10000 and M = 5000‚ using regression equation‚ QD = -5200 - 42*500 + 20*600 + 5.2*5500 + 0.2*10000 + 0.25*5000 = 17650 Price elasticity = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) From regression equation‚ dQ/dP = -42. So‚ price elasticity EP= (P/Q) * (-42) = (-42) * (500 / 17650) = -1.19 Likewise‚ EC = 20 * 600 / 17650 = 0.68 EI = 5.2 * 5500 / 17650 = 1.62

Many people (including national leaders) worry that population growth depletes resources and can trigger social or economic catastrophe if it is not contained. As discussed in the preceding section‚ most of the projected population growth during this century will take place in developing nations. These countries have faced many challenges in recent decades‚ including low levels of education‚ poor health standards‚ poverty‚ scarce housing‚ natural resource depletion‚ wars‚ and economic and political

According to the International Program Center‚ U.S. Census Bureau‚ the total population of the World‚ projected to 03/27/08 at 19:37 GMT (EST+5) is 6‚657‚527‚872. (US Census Bureau) This rapid growth in population means little to most people living in this today’s world but it’s a phenomenon that should be a concern to all. It took from the start of human history to the industrial revolution around 1945 for the population to grow to 2 billion. If we then look at the figures after 1945 then we would

Supply and Demand Simulation Summary University of Phoenix ECO360‚ Economics for Business I The Supply/Demand simulation involves acting as property manager for GoodLife Management in the fictional town of Atlantis. GoodLife Management manages seven apartment complexes in Atlantis. The property manager is expected to adjust the monthly rental rate of two-bed rental apartments and the quantity of apartments supplied based on the market trends. Factors that influence the supply and demand

Demand and supply Demand is defined as the amount of the products and services which buyers ready to buy at all price. It has been observed that most interesting of point buyer’s General response towards price when the price goes down consumer tend to buy products. Therefore when we think about Supply means there are other sellers in the market who is willing to sell their product in the market at the price. (C. Klein‚ 2010).Demand and supply both are play very important role in economics filed.

number of factors that can contribute to the growth of a population and these trends can be seen in a number of species. It is generally believed‚ from an ecological perspective‚ that populations will display either an exponential of logistic growth rate. If optimal environments are consistently maintained with no biotic or abiotic limiting factors (excess food‚ excess space availability‚ optimum climactic environment‚ no predation‚ etc) then a population will grow in an exponential direction.

use supply and demand analysis to establish a price in the market Introduction: In this document we will study the market equilibrium and the demand and supply analysis of Sugar as a commodity. For this study we have selected three scenarios: 1. How demand and supply of sugar affects its market price. 2. The changes in demand for sugar during festivals and its effect on the price. 3. The changes in the supply of sugarcane and its corresponding effect on the supply and

as the nations’ economy or the GDP. Nevertheless‚ both micro- and macroeconomics provide fundamental tools when studying the economy. This paper will discuss the examples of the supply and demand curves as they were presented in the simulation. In addition‚ factors affecting these curves such as changes in population‚ government‚ employment‚ and trend all take part in shifting these curves causing pricing or rental rates to increase and decrease accordingly. The concepts of microeconomics that
