At the initial prices, demand was inelastic. Oc. The demand curve for concessions slopes upwards Od. Concessions are an inferior good

Say that a certain stadium for professional football has 70,000 seals. What is the shape of the supply curve for tickets to football games at that stadium? Explain.
Can you think of an industry (or product) with near infinite elasticity of supply in the short term? That is, what is an industry that could increase Qs almost without limit in response to an increase in the price?
Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
a. a. Suppose that a small market Major League Baseball team currently charges $12 for a ticket. At this price, they are able to sell 12,000 tickets to each game. If they raise ticket prices to $15, they would sell 11,053 tickets to each game. What is the price elasticity of demand at $12? If the demand curve is linear, what is the algebraic expression for demand?
The following table describes the demand for season tickets at Powerhouse University, a perennial football power Price per ticket per game Tickets Demanded $80 105,000 $90 100,000 $100 93,000 $110 85,000 $120 75,000 Currently the stadium seats 75,000 and season tickets are priced at $110. if the university expands the stadium to seat 90,000 and they do not raise ticket prices, by how much will revenue increase per game?

Characterize the demand and supply for tickets based on the calculated elasticies. What is the optimum price that the stadium owners can set for the tickets? Why is the selected price for the tickets better than other prices given in the table above?
5. At present, the price of $10, a football in the US and 5 million are sold annually. Market demand has shown that the demand curves are linear, and that price elasticity of market demand is -4.0 and the price elasticity of supply is +2.0. a) Calculate the demand and supply curves for footballs in the US. b) The US government imposes a $3 tax on every football sold in the country. How much revenue will the tax raise, and how much will the tax effect consumer surplus and producer surplus?|
. Suppose a ticket to a Rolling Stones concert is $400 and at that price, the quantity of tickets demanded is 47,000 per concert. Using the midpoint method of calculating percentage changes, if the ticket price increases to $500 and the quantity demanded decreases to 46,000, what is the price elasticity of demand for Rolling Stones concert tickets? Referring to the above, which is greater -- the % change in quantity demanded or the % change in price? What will happen to total revenue (TR) when the price increases to $500? Briefly explain.
a. Define price elasticity of demand, and cross-price elasticity of demand. b. If the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is negative (EXY<0), what can be said about the relationship between these two goods? c. If the Boston Red Sox know that the demand for their tickets is elastic (ED>1), should they increase or decrease the price of their tickets in order to increase total revenue? Explain.

4.4. If the price of a stadium beer is $6, the Bears would sell 20,000 hotdogs holding other factors fixed. At a price of $5 per beer, however, the Bears would sell 22,000 hotdogs holding other factors fixed. What is the cross-price elasticity of hotdogs with respect to the price of beer? According to your answer, are hotdogs and beer complements or substitutes? How do you know?
