Assume shoes must be purchased in integer quantities. RuPaul and Priyanka are performers. The table shows the demand schedule for shoes for each drag queen. That is, while RuPaul demands 3 pairs of shoes when the price is €126, Priyanka demands 3 pairs when the price is €115. What is the change in consumer surplus if a per-unit tax increases market price from €109 to €124? Q RuPaul Priyanka 1 €159 €131 2 €138 €120 3 €126 €115 4 €108 €101 5 €78 €93 6 €55 €86

Many governments subsidise electric vehicles. Draw two sup- ply and demand diagrams (one for electric vehicles and one for petrol- powered vehicles) to show the impact of an electric vehicle subsidy. As- sume that an increase in electric vehicles sales reduces petrol powered vehicles by the same amount. On these diagrams show: (a) The quantity of both types of vehicles before the subsidy. (b) The quantity of both types of vehicles after the subsidy. (c) The deadweight losses in both markets before and after the subsidy. 4. is a fuel excise or an electric vehicle subsidy a better policy response to address externalities associated with driving? Your answer should draw on the answers above and could also include: Which policy is simpler to administer. How the two policies impact use of other forms of transport (like public transport or riding a bike). Which policy is fairer.

Joe's demand for spring water can be represented as p = 15 - 0.8Q (where p is measured in $/ gallon and Q is measured in gallons). He recently discovered a spring where water can be obtained free of charge. His consumer surplus from this water is Your Answer: Answer
3.00 0.10 q 20 Figure 9.6 shows an individual's demand curve for time per month spent telecommunicating while driving (talking on the car phone.) A car phone is useless except for talking with somebody who is not in the car. If calls are priced at ten cents per minute, what is the consumer surplus derived from talking? What is the most this person would pay for the car phone? Explain.
With its new global mobile phone service, Ultra Mobile offers the following price schedule: Your first 10 minutes each day cost 25 cents per minute. All minutes after that are just 10 cents per minute. There are no additional charges, and no contract to sign or fixed monthly fees.If Peter's demand for global phone minutes is P = 20 − 4Q, where P is in cents per minute and Q is in minutes per day, what is Peter’s daily consumer surplus? 0 2.5 12.5 25 50

Torsten's Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) for flour is given in the table below. If the price of flour falls from $32 to $25, what is the change in Torsten's surplus? Flour can be bought in integer values only. Enter a number only, drop the $ sign. Include a negative sign if surplus decreases. Bags of flour MWTP 1 $48 2 $41 3 $38 4 $27 5 $16 6 $14 7 $7
Consider the movie ticket and popcorn example discussed in Section 17.7. The theater sells two products, tickets and popcorn. Suppose the weekly demand for movie tickets is Quiz = 400-20Ptiz - 10Ppopcorn where Ptix and Ppopcorn are the prices of a ticket and a bag of popcorn, respectively. Suppose that each time a moviegoer buys a ticket, his demand for popcorn is Qpopcorn = 3-0.4Ppo $ where Qd popcorn is the number of bags of popcorn the moviegoer buys. Suppose further that the theater's marginal cost of a ticket is $2, while the marginal cost of popcorn is $1.5. Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. a. What is the profit-maximizing price of a movie ticket if a bag of popcorn sells for $5 a bag? popcorn 9.75 b. In Section 17.7, the marginal cost of popcorn was $0.50 and the price of a ticket was $8. Explain intuitively why the profit-maximizing price in this problem is different from the profit-maximizing price in Section 17.7. O When the marginal cost of popcorn…
