Answer 1

The supply land in central Pennsylvania is perfectly inelastic, buyers in central Pennsylvania pay an interest rate for land use.

The rental price is lower in central Pennsylvania than Rittenhouse Square. One possible explanation for this rent difference is that highly productive land is downward sloping.

Some entrepreneurs decide to build parking lots on Rittenhouse Square. The supply curve for land to be used in parking lots is upward slopping.

Perfectly inelastic supply corresponds to one in which the demand curve is vertical, that is, the quantity demanded does not respond very strongly to price changes.

Buyers pay an interest rate for the use of the land, as the quantity demanded does not change if the price changes.

The rent price in central Pennsylvania is lower than in the Rittenhouse Squar due to the downward sloping curve that corresponds to lower interest expectations in the future, due to the elasticity of the supply.

The construction of parking lots in Rittenhouse Square is upward sloping because of the response to the profit that entrepreneurs hope to achieve in a perfectly elastic market.
