Suppose the elasticity of demand for tickets to Broadway shows is 2.0 for men and 0.3 for women. To use price discrimination to increase profits, the producers should charge lower prices to _____ because their demand is more _____. men; inelastic than that of women women; inelastic than that of men women; elastic than that of men men; elastic than that of women

Answer:

men; elastic than that of women

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets

types of price discrimination

1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.

2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.  

3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students  

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Men have an elastic demand for tickets to Broadway shows

Women have an inelastic demand for tickets to Broadway shows

Since men have an elastic demand, if prices are reduced, the demand for tickets would increase and total profits of producers would increase

The cashew industry is perfectly competitive and until now each of the identical firms in the industry have been earning zero economic profits while selling ay units of output each (for a combined industry-wide total of qy units) at a market equilibrium price of P1 per unit. An unexpected increase in the demand for cashews raises the market equilibrium price to P2, which creates a situation in which P2 exceeds MC at 91 units of output.
a. If the firms continued producing 91 units each, would their combined output of cashews be too little, too much, or just right to achieve allocative efficiency?
i. Just right
ii. Too much
iii. Too little
b. In the long run, what will happen to the supply of cashews and the price of cashews?
i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.
ii. The industry's supply of cashews will be less than Q1 and the price of cashews will be less than P1.
iii. The industry's supply of cashews will equal Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.
iv. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.

For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will _________, and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by ____________the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________ the natural level of output in the short run. Suppose the economy's short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve is given by the following equation:
