4. (50%) Maggie's demand function for bagels. Assume that U(CB) = CSB-S and that the price of bagels is Pa, the price of chalis Pc, and income is I (do not assign numerical values to the variables!). a. Use the three steps from lecture to find the chal demand function, C(pc.1), and the bagels demand function, B(P8.1). You must show how you derive the tangency condition from the given utility function (hint: calculate MU, MUe, etc.)! b. Given the demand...
18. Suppose that Maggie cares only about chai and bagels. Her utility function is U(C,B) C 0.8B 0.2, where C is the number of cups of chai she drinks in a week, and B is the number of bagels she eats in a week. The price of chai is $2, and the price of bagels is S1. Maggie has S300 to spend per week on chai and bagels. a. What is Maggie's utility-maximizing bundle of chai and bagels? Use the...
1. Best Bagels Company makes bagels. The law of demand implies, holding everything else constant, that a. as the price of bagels increases, the quantity of bagels demanded will increase. b. as the price of bagels increases, the demand for bagels will increase. c. as the price of bagels increases, the quantity of bagels demanded will decrease. d. as the price of bagels increases, the demand for bagels will decrease! 2. When the price of a normal good falls, ceteris...
2. The market for bagels in Philadelphia is perfectly competitive. In Philadelphia, the daily demand for bagels is Qd = 15,000 – 5,000P, which is graphed as D in the figure below. The industry supply of bagels in Philadelphia is Qs =-6,000 + 10,000P, which is graphed as S in the figure. 3.00 2.00 S Price of bagels (dollars) 1.00 0.60 D 1 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 Quantity of bagels (per day) i. Using the demand and supply conditions given,...
CPG Bagels starts the day with a large production run of bagels. Throughout the morning, additional bagels are produced as needed. The last bake is completed at 3 p.m. and the store closes at 8 p.m. It costs approximately $0.20 in materials and labor to make a bagel. The price of a fresh bagel is $0.60. Bagels not sold by the end of the day are sold the next day as “day old” bagels in bags of six, for $0.99...
a demand function is affected by seven variables: Price (p), income (I), price of substitute goods (ps), price of complementary goods (pc), price expectations E(p), income expectations E(I), and personal tastes and preferences (T). Q d = f ( p , I , p s , p c , E ( p ) , E ( I ) , T ) Please show (in a diagram) and explain how an increase in these variables will change the equilibrium price and...
13. Assume that the demand function is 100 3P. Calculate the own-price elasticity of demand at each of the following prices: a. $5-100-3(5)-100-15-85 b. $7- 100-3(7) 100-21- 79 c. $20 100-3(20) 100-60 40
1) Given the following demand function Q=8.5-p+0.1y a) Derive a formular for the price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand. b) find the elasticity if p=6 and y=1000 c) what will happen to price elasticity of demand if income varies. d) what will happen to income elasticity of demand if income varies. e) derive the total revenue function. show that the relationship between price and revenue depends on elasticity (Assume y = 0).
Variables typically included in a multivariate demand function (other than the price and quantity of the item the demand function represents) are consumer tastes and preferences, the number of buyers, spendable (disposable) income, prices of substitute goods, prices of complementary goods, advertising expenditures, weather, and expectations. Recalling that the price of the item being considered is placed on the vertical axis, and the quantity on the horizontal axis, the other variables are termed demand shifters. Please answer the following questions...
The demand for beer for heavy drinkers is given by the following demand function: Qd=190-3P. The demand for beer for light drinkers is given by the following demand function Qd=60-4P. Suppose the current price for beer is, on average, $12 per case. a. What is the price elasticity of demand for heavy drinkers? b. How does this compare to the price elasticity of demand for light drinkers? c. Are the differences in the price elasticity between the two groups what...
