suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows

price: $8,$10,$12,$14,$16

quantity demanded( income $16.000): 40,32,24,16,8

quantity demanded( income $20.000): 50,45,30,20,12

a. use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of
demand as the price of pizza increases from $8 to $10 if (i) your
income is $16,000 and (ii) your income is $20,000.

b. calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases
from $16,000 to $20,000 if (i) the price is $12 and (ii) the price is
$16

This is based on Scientific advice, that once that population percentage is immunized, the whole population would be protected, Economist call this positive externality in consumption.

Suppose that as part of the restructuring plan Mitsubishi conducts an analysis of how labour and capital are used in its production process. Prior to restructuring it's marginal rate of technical substitution is 0.15 ( in absolute value). To hire workers. Suppose that Mitsubishi must pay the competitive hourly wage of US$ 15. In the study of production process and markets where capital is procured, suppose that Mitsubishi determine that its marginal productivity of capital is 0.5 small cars per hour at its new targeted level of output and that capital is procured in a highly competitive market. The same study indicates that the average selling price of Mitsubishi’s smallest car is US$ 9500. Determine the rate at which Mitsubishi can rent capital and marginal productivity of labour at its new targeted level of output. To minimize costs Mitsubishi should hire capital and labour until the marginal rate of technical substitution reaches what proportion?

Critically evaluate and explain: a. In monopolistically competitive industries, economic profits are competed away in the long run. Hence, there is no valid reason to criticize these industries’ performance and efficiency. b. In the long run, monopolistic competition leads to a monopolistic price but not to monopolistic profits.
