Problem 3. The fares received by taxi drivers working for the Sunshine Cab Company are normally distributed with a mean of $12.50 and a standard deviation of $3.25. Suppose a driver has four independent consecutive fares, and two of those fares are less than $6.00 while two are more. What is the probability of this happening? Problem 4. Consumer products are required by law to contain at least as much as the amount printed...

Completely explain why a firm's total revenue will rise if it raises prices when demand is inelastic and will fall if it raises when demand is elastic.

1)Explain what it means when demand is inelastic? 2) If demand is elastic, total revenue will increase when the price decreases? True or False? 3) The price elasticity of supply will be a smaller number when it is relatively easy for sellers to increase their supply. ( True or False)? 4) Demand is more elastic when the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is larger. ( True or False)? 5) If the quantity demanded of one good increases...

Explain the relationship between the price elasticity of demand and total revenue. What are the impacts of various forms of elasticities (elastic, inelastic, unit elastic, etc.) on business decisions and strategies to maximize profit? Explain your responses using empirical examples, formulas, and graphs. Is the price elasticity of demand or supply more elastic over a shorter or a longer period of time? Why? Give examples.

22. Suppose that price is below the minimum average total cost (ATC) but above the minimum average variable cost (AVC) and that the market price is expected to rise at least to ATC in the near future. In the short run, a firm that is a price-taker would: a. immediately shut down and get out of the industry. b. continue to produce a quantity of output such that its marginal revenue equals marginal cost. c. shut down temporarily, in hopes...
