You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $70,000 per year from product Y. The
own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is 1.6.
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 percent?
Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (-) sign.

The number of times per year that she plays depends on both the price of playing a round of golf as well as Ariya's income and the cost of other types of entertainment-in particular, how much it costs to go see a movie instead of playing golf. The three demand schedules in the table below show how many rounds of golf per year Ariya will demand at each price under three different scenarios. In scenario D1, Ariya's income is $80,0o00 per year and movies cost $15 each. In scenario D2, Ariya's income is also $80,000 per year, but the price of seeing a movie rises to $17.

- Ethanol, a fuel, is made from corn. Ethanol production increased 5.5 times from 2000 to 2008 and another 34% from 2008 to February 2013 (www.ethanolrfa.org). What effect did this increased use of corn for producing ethanol have on the price of corn and the consumption of corn as food? 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new demand curve (D2) or a new supply curve (S,) that shows how the increased use of corn for producing ethanol affects the market for corn as food, Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new market equilibrium. Label this point 'e2'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
