Economists like to calculate the percent changes in numbers. If the price of
gasoline was $3.25 a gallon last week and this week it is $3.95 a gallon, what is
the percentage change in price?
33.3 percent
82.3 percent
21.5 percent
17.7 percent
Use the midpoint method of calculating percentage changes in this
question.
Heidi used to bake and sell 3 custom cakes each week when the price
of cake was $35. Now that the price has increased to $45, she bakes
and sells 5 cakes.
What was the 'percentage change' in quantity supplied of cakes for
Heidi?
%. Is this 'percentage change' positive or
negative?
What was the 'percentage change' in price of cakes?
%. Is this 'percentage change' positive or negative?
What was Heidi's price elasticity of supply?
(round
to 2 decimal places] Is this considered 'elastic', 'inelastic', or 'unit
elastic'?

- Consumers eating higher food costs The price of milk rose about 21% from July 2006 to July 2007. At the same time, with higher gasoline prices, the demand for ethanol increased. Because ethanol is made from corn and cows eat corn, the price of corn rose, which in turn increased the price of milk, cheese, and the fast-foods that use cheese. Source: USA TODAY, September 6, 2007 Use a graph to show why the higher price of corn affects the price of milk. CHEE The graph shows the market for milk.

Some people had objected to these price increases, and called for the government to forbid sellers from charging such high prices.

We will consider the case of bottled fresh water being available for sale in supermarkets. 1) Draw a graph showing the equilibrium price for the pre-hurricane demand for and supply of bottled water that currently existed in the market place. (label the current equilibrium price as p1 on the price axis, and the quantity as q1 on the quantity axis. Now suppose that the hurricane hits.
