3. It is a hot day, and Nina is thirsty. Here is the value, in money terms, she places on a bottle of lemonade:Value of first bottle £7Value of second bottle £5Value of third bottle £3Value of fourth bottle £1(i) From this information, derive Nina’s demand schedule. Graph her demand curve for bottled lemonade.(ii) If the price of a bottle of lemonade is £4, how many bottles does Nina buy? How much consumer surplus does Nina get from her purchases? Show Nina’s consumer surplus on your graph.(iii) If the price falls to £2, how does quantity demanded change? How does Nina’s consumer surplus change? Show these changes on your graph.
rom California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating orreducing the surcharges banks impose on non-customers, who make $14 million in withdrawals from otherbanks’ ATM machines. On average, non-customers earn a wage of $26 per hour and pay ATM fees of $3.25per transaction. It is estimated that banks would be willing to maintain services for 6 million transactionsat $1.50 per transaction, while non-customers would attempt to conduct 22 million transactions at thatprice. Estimates suggest that, for every 1 million gap between the desired and available transactions, atypical consumer will have to spend an extra minutes traveling to another machine to withdraw cash.(a) Based on this information, what would be the nonpecuniary cost of legislation that would place a$1.50 cap on the fees banks charge for non-customer transactions?(b) What would be the full economic price of this legislation?(c) Using a graph, illustrate the situation described…

What is the formula for elasticity of savings with respect to interest rates?
I am stuck on this problem, I don't know where to start. Could you give a step by step on how to figure this problem out. Thank you. There is an increase in demand of 100 units at each price and a decrease in supply of 100 units at each price. In the graph below, draw the new demand and supply lines. Instructions: Use the graphing tools, 'D2', 'S2', to plot the new demand and supply lines on the figure and then use the grid lines to determine the new equilibrium price and quantity.

(?) According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of scooters is currently $30 per scooter, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is in total revenue per week. a $15-per-scooter increase in price will lead to In general,…
