Graded Assignment

Chapter 5 Short Answer and Essay

Subjective Short Answer

Complete this teacher-scored portion of the Unit Test and submit it to your teacher by the due date for full credit. Spend about ten minutes on each question. Take time to think about your answer before you begin writing.

(Score for Question 1: _____ of 2 points)

  1. Suppose the price of natural gas, a typical fuel for heating homes, rises in January in Alaska. Would you expect the price elasticity of demand for natural gas to more inelastic immediately after the price increase or at some point in the future?

Answer:

Based on the information given, I would expect the price elasticity of demand to be more inelastic

immediately after the price increase.

(Score for Question 2: _____ of 2 points)

  1. Suppose a freeze in Florida significantly reduces the supply of oranges this year. As a result, would you expect the total revenue from the sale of orange juice to rise or fall? Explain.

Answer:

In order to answer this question it is important to analyse the context of the hypothetical situation. To

begin with, it is known that oranges are a necessary input to produce orange juice, and this means that

increasing the price of oranges will consequently reduce the supply of orange juice. The total revenue

may increase or decrease when the price of orange juice rises. In this case, if the demand for orange

juice is elastic, the total revenue will fall/decrease; however, if the demand for orange juice is inelastic,

the total revenue will rise/increase.

Essay

Spend about thirty minutes on the essay question. Take time to think about your answer before you begin writing. You may want to begin with an outline to organize your ideas and to make sure you answer all parts of the essay.

(Score for Question 3: _____ of 10 points)

AP® Microeconomics | Graded Assignment | Chapter 5 Short Answer and Essay

Before deciding whether the price should be increased or decreased, there is a series of factors that need

to be considered. To begin with, demand can be elastic or inelastic. The elasticity of demand refers to the

extent to which demand responds to a drift in another economic factor, including the price. So, elasticity

is able to measure how the demand shifts when another economic factor, such as the price, changes.

When the demand is inelastic, it means that the fluctuating demand is not related to an economic factor.

Using this information we can tackle the hypothetical situation that I am the manager of a baseball

stadium and want to increase the revenue in order to pay the salary for a star player. The answer to

whether the price of the tickets should increase or decrease actually depends on whether demand is

elastic or inelastic. If demand is inelastic, then I should raise the price to increase total revenue. On the

other hand, if demand is elastic, then I should lower the price to increase total revenue and pay the salary

of the star player.
