state of texas recently saw a gas price increase by 5%, which brought about a fall in quantity of gasoline purhcased by 1%. the price elasticity of demand is equal to __ and demand is described as ____

0.2 , inelastic

if the price of a good increases by 10% and the equity demanded changes by 15% then price elasticity of demand is equal to

1.5

u of neb (Tr decreases , lowered price and revenue goes down means demand in inelastic)

Answer : C

economic profit

B) 2000 41000-2000-12000-25000=2000 27000 is accounting profit

total cost - variable cost = fixed cost

C) 2.43 45000-28000=17000 AFC at quantity of 7000 Fixed Coat / Quantity = 17000/7000 = 2.43

when marginal cost is rising, AVC

C) could be rising or falling

the long run is distinguished from the short run in that

C) the quantities of all inputs can vary (no fixed costs in long run)

amount of tax is $2

D) $2 deadweight loss due to its tax is : 1/2 x 2 x 1000 = 1000 A) 1000 3 is price demanders pay 1 is price suppliers pay

the Marginal cost curve intersects

D) ATC and AVC curves at their minimum points

$5 excise tax on suppliers, the price of leather shoes will

D) increase, but we cannot determine how much Price increases from equlibrium to new price

perfectly competitive firm means

D) infinite elasticity (perfect elastic)

income that she gave up is :

D) opportunity cost or implicit costs

Firm will shut down if price falls below :

P2 P2 bc if price falls below AVC curve wont have enough $ to pay workers

Oil prod nations are fully aware that price elasticity of demand for gasoline in the short run is approx 0.4. If a war in Middle East causes price of oil (from which gas is made) to increase, how will that affect total revenue from gasoline production in the short run, all other things equal?

Quantity Dem - Decrease Total Rev - Increase

Average Variable Cost

answer : C AFC always downward slope (D) MC intersects AVC and ATC at their minimum (curve A) ATC (curve B)

in the short run

at least 1 input is fixed

to be binding, a price ceiling must be set at a price ___ the equilibrium price.

below

table

cost of factory is fixed cost so all 150 cost of workers -1 is 275, 2* 275=550 for 2 workers etc total cost = fixed cost + variable boxes of choc produced per week : 0, 330, 630, 780, 890, 950, 960 marginal product of labor is difference in quantity when adding each worker : 330, 300, 150, 110, 60, 10

total cost curve gets steeper as output increases due to

diminishing marginal product

the eventual increase in AVC as output increases is the _____ effect

diminishing returns

suppose the price elasticity of demand for a bacon double cheeseburger is 3.67. This means demand for cheeseburger is

elastic

the change in total revenue resulting in a change from point P to T suggest that demand is

elastic
