Assume an area is composed exclusively of apartments and populated by low-income residents. The people live in that area because (1) they cannot afford to live in other areas of the city, (2) they prefer to live with people of their own ethnic group, or (3) there is discrimination against them in other areas of the city. Rents paid are a very high percent of peoples' incomes. i. Would the demand for apartments be relatively inelastic or relatively elastic? State why. ii. Would the supply of apartments in this area be relatively inelastic or relatively elastic? State why. iii. Draw the demand and supply curves, showing the first equilibrium price and quantity. iv. Assume the state creates a rent supplement program where the renter is required to pay 30% Of income in rent. Any more rent is paid by the state to a limit. If the rent is C500, the other C200 would be paid by the state. Analyze the results and Show the changes on the graph. Who gains and who loses from this program?
Dan Levy is in partnership with three others in their business, Outdoor Camping World. (Outdoor World had been Dan’s business and Camping World had been run by the other three until they merged the businesses last year. They merged the names too, so they might keep all their old customers, even though it doesn’t make much sense.) Dan argues that the firm should maximise gross profit margins [(selling price – buying price)/ selling price] on each item of stock. (a) Do you think this is a valid financial objective? (b) Is this objective consistent with maximisation of partners’ wealth? (c) What problems do you see in operationalising this objective?
