Answer: Price of pumpkins will fall compared to last year.
Explanation: Favorable weather leading to a larger crop than usual means that there is more supply of pumpkins this year than before. Shifting the supply curve down to the right. At the same time, when people switch away from jack-o'-lanterns towards buying more costumes, it leads to a decline in the demand for pumpkins shifting the demand curve to the left.
The net result will be a decline in the demand for fall in the price of pumpkin. However, the effect on the quantity cannot be determined as it depends on the magnitude of shift in the two curves.
Answer:
The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions and income effect is dominant.
Explanation:
In case of a normal good, both the income effect as well as substitution effect work in the same direction. A fall in the price of a product will increase the purchasing power of the consumer so its quantity demanded will increase.
The consumers will also prefer the cheaper good so the substitution effect will cause the quantity demanded to increase.
In case of an inferior good, however, income elasticity is negative. The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions.
A price decrease in the case of an inferior good will increase the real income and purchasing power of the consumer. This will cause the quantity demanded of the inferior good to decline as the consumer will prefer a substitute normal good.

b. $322,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.
It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset
.
The amount of depreciation to be recognized for each mile that a rental automobile is driven
= ($15,000 - $6,000)/45,000
= $9,000/45,000
= $0.20
Total millage expected of the 60 cars before disposal
= 60 * 45,000 miles
= 2,700,000 miles
The total amount of depreciation expense that Central Auto Rentals should recognize on this fleet of cars for the year
= 1,610,000/2,700,000 * ($9,000 * 60)
= $322,000
