Answer:

C. <u>shortage</u>; <u>elastic</u>; <u>the same number of</u>

Explanation:

The law of demand states an inverse relationship between quantity demanded of a good and it's price.

Price elasticity of demand refers to the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price. When quantity demanded changes less relatively to change in price, it is termed as inelastic demand while when the change in quantity demanded is lot more than the change in price, it is termed as elastic demand.

In the given case, after the upper limit price has been capped and fixed, this would create a rush and tickets for the sports events would be sold off since the quantity demanded would rise.

This would result into a shortage since demand shall exceed supply and since the price cannot be raised above $50.

The more elastic the demand, more shortage of tickets it would result into and the same number of people will attend the events i.e the seating capacity is not increased.

Answer:

C) Shortage ; Elastic ; Same number of

Explanation:

Usual market are at equilibrium when : Market Demand = Market Supply. Upward sloping supply curve (due to law of supply) & Downward sloping demand curve (due to law of demand) intersect each other.

Price Ceiling is maximum mandated sale price by government, selling above which is prohibited. It is usually created below equilibrium price, to protect the interest of buyers.

As supply & demand are respectively positive & negative sloping, lower price decreases supply & increases demand. This creates excess demand or shortage.

Price Elasticity is responsiveness of demand due to change in price. If it is more, demand would change more due to price change. So, shortage would be more in this case.

As, there is excess demand - all the tickets would be sold, the same number of people would still attend the events (as the hall occupancy is same).

A customer opens a margin account by purchasing 100 shares of ABC at $60 per share, depositing the 50% Regulation T requirement.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Account Balance in margin account:

Investment = $6,000 (100 x $60)

The customer's account will first increase with an unrealized gain of $2,000 ($80 - 60 x 100) on the next day.  It will then decrease with an unrealized loss of $2,000 ($80 - 60 x 100) on the day after.  This cancels the earlier unrealized gain.

Explanation:

The customer's investment will now show a balance of $6,000 with a contra account showing a debt of $3,000 for the balance of the Regulation T margin account.  According to investopedia, "A margin account is a brokerage account in which the broker lends the customer cash to purchase stocks or other financial products.  The loan in the account is collateralized by the securities purchased and cash, and comes with a periodic interest rate."

Producer's Surplus means the value producer derives from selling goods. For example, if producer is willing to sell the product for a price 8 but consumers are willing to pay a higher price, let's say 20, then producer achieves a surplus of 12 per unit. Let's calculate the producer's surplus -   
As per question, Reservation Price (RP) =20, Price (P) =8, & Quantity (Q) =10  
The formula for Producer Surplus (PS) is as follow: 
 PS = 1/2 (RP - P) x Q 
= 1/2 (20-8) x 10 = 60
