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).

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • Paul Donut Franchisee : Perfectly Elastic Supply
  • P & G Facial Tissues : Elastic Supply
  • Papermate Pens : Inelastic Supply
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : Perfectly Inelastic Supply

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply is sellers' quantity supplied response to price change. P(Es) = % change in supply / % change in price.

Supply can be classified by Price Elasticity of Supply, as undermentioned :

  1. Elastic Supply : P(Es) > 1 ; % change in supply > % change in price
  2. Inelastic Supply :  P(Es) < 1 ; % change in supply < % change in price
  3. Unitary Elastic : P (Es) = 1 ; % change in supply = % change in price
  4. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P(Es) = ∞ ; Supply responds infinitely to any slight price change & so prices are constant.
  5. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P (Es) = 0 ; Supply responds negligibly to massive price change & so quantity supplied is constant
  • Paul Donut Franchise : Unlimited Supply at constant price, so supply perfectly elastic
  • P & G facial tissues : % change in supply i.e 66% > % change in price i.e 10% , so supply is elastic
  • Papermate pens : % change in supply i.e 10 % < % change in price i.e 15% , so supply is inelastic
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : % change in supply 15% negligible in relation to 400% price change , so supply is perfectly inelastic

=> Total Cash spent for the purchase is $66,990 ( $66,000 + $990).
