She reports that the estimated price elasticity of demand for the first few months after a price change is about-0.3, but that after several years, it will be about -1.5. i. Explain why the estimated values for price elasticity of demand differ. ii. Compute what will happen to ridership and revenue over the next few months if you decide to raise fares by 5%. iii. Compute what will happen to ridership and revenue over the next few years if you decide to raise fares by 5%. iv. What happens to total revenue now and after several years if you choose to raise fares?
Consider a consumer who is choosing how many of two goods to buy: Footballs and cricket balls. The consumer has an income of $20, and the cost of a football is $4 and a cricket ball is $2.
