ECONOMICS ASSIGNMENT

(1) Would the demand for apartments in this area be relatively inelastic or relatively
elastic? State why?

Answer: The interest for house would be moderately inelastic on the grounds that there
are few or no substitutes for the flats around there. In any case, one may contend that
request would be generally flexible as the lease is a high extent of the tenants' earnings.

(2) Would the supply of apartments in this area be relatively inelastic or relatively
elastic? State why?

Answer: The supply would likewise be generally inelastic. Given this is a center salary
territory and that there is most likely very little free land accessible, it is likely that the
amount provided would increment just a bit.
(3) Draw the demand and supply curves as you have described them, showing the initial
equilibrium price and quantity. Label carefully.

Both request and supply ought to be drawn as steep (unless you contended that request
was generally flexible). Request is Generally inelastic implies that moderately expansive changes
in value cause generally little changes in amount. As such, amount is not extremely receptive to
cost. It anticipates that if issues on moderate lodging were expanded the rate of lodging stress
would likewise increment. Contrasts in extra cash, risky houses, poor repair, avoiding work,
family or different backings, high lease cost, staying a long way from specialist/social insurance,
youngsters school/College/school, living in a house that is excessively swarmed or imparted to
others, and the requirements to spend more cash on transports are viewed as the fundamental
driver for lodging stress. This paper fortifies the finishes of past investigations of a scope of
guidelines to handle the lodging moderateness issue, and underscores on the requirement for
more reasonable lodging that is economical and livable in the meantime, so that there will be no
lodging worry among individuals.
Supply Relatively inelastic means that relatively large changes in price cause relatively small
changes in quantity. In other words, quantity is not very responsive to price.

Demand Supply Equilibrium

When the supply and demand curves intersect, the market is in equilibrium. This is where the
quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal.

(4) Now assume the government creates a rent supplement program. Under this program, the
renter is required to pay 30% of income in rent. Any additional rent is paid by the
government --- up to a limit. For example, a low-income person with an income of
$1,000 a month would be required to pay $300 in rent (30%). If the rent is $500, the other
$200 would be paid by the government. Analyze the results of this program. Show the
changes on the graph and explain what will result. Who gains and who loses from this
program?
 Answer: The installment by the legislature can be dealt with as an expansion in pay. This
influences the interest for houses. An expansion sought after would be appeared as a
move to one side. This makes a lack of houses. Therefore, rents rise. The amount of
houses provided likewise rises. On the off chance that the supply is in fact moderately
inelastic, the amount provided rises practically nothing. The real impact is the ascent in
rents. Tenants pick up from the program. In any case, the majority of the pickup goes to
the proprietors of the houses. This is not what was planned. The "losers" are the taxpayers
who pay for the program.

(5) Instead, assume that the government decides to provide a building subsidy to people who
build apartments in this low-income area. A certain percent of their costs will be paid by
the government. Analyze the results of this program. Show the results on the graph and
explain what will result.

Answer: The subsidy program is a decline in expenses of creation. With lower expenses of
generation, supply builds (movements to one side). This makes an excess, creating houses
proprietors to bring down the rents. The amount of flats provided increments. In the event
that request is generally inelastic, the biggest impact is the decrease in rents. The amount
provided increments just a bit. Leaseholders and flat proprietors pick up from the program.
But in this case, renters gain the most.

Question 2: Assume that a Japanese car and a similar American car each sell in the United
States at a price of $40,000. A tariff is a tax placed on the products of foreign countries sold in
the United States. Assume, there is a 13% tax on foreign-made automobiles.
Required:

Develop a situation examination of Interest for Cars in both nations and clarify who might
bear the occurrence of this assessment? Express the reason(s) with regards to value
versatility, substitution impact and pay impact ideas.

Prior to the essentialness crises of the 1970s, the U.S. car industry contained the Enormous
Three (GM, Passage, and Chrysler) notwithstanding one (American Engines). While esteem
competition was verboten, these associations were brutally forceful in the locale of thing
detachment. Each organization's things had four wheels.

Accept that buyers' jobs go up. Tolerating that vehicles are a common fair, demand would
increase. The diagram suggests that both cost and sum would increase, ceteris paribus. Is this
not what may be ordinary. Would not a development in family compensation provoke an
extension in the enthusiasm for an extensive variety of automobiles? Couldn't all auto makes
speculate higher arrangements. Sixty years' earlier there was a work stoppage in the
production of a key commitment to vehicle creating, steel. How did this impact the auto
feature? Will free market action offer help? With no new steel being conveyed, costs to auto
makers extended. This would (1) (increment/reduce) the supply of automobiles. For this
circumstance, free market action would predict (2) (a decrease/no change/an extension) in the
cost of cars and (3)(a reducing/no change/an addition) in the level of offers. Around then, the
level of offers emphatically dropped and auto cost increases outpaced those of expenses
when in doubt.

With the complete of humble gas in the Unified States in the midst of the 1970s, remote
competition did to the Huge Three what the antitrust young fellows couldn't do. To such a
degree, to the point that Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are oft insinuated as the Enormous Three.
Since gas is a (4)(complement to/substitute for) a vehicle, we would ordinarily expect an
extension in its cost to (5)(reduce/increase) the enthusiasm for an auto. Despite the way that
difficult to see, there is without a doubt this effect was accessible in the auto publicize. The
now higher cost of the "colossal auto package" drove buyers to the lower assessed "little auto
package." For the autos themselves, this achieved a development looked for after for imports
and a lessening in the enthusiasm for domestics.

Customers will bear the tax when they will purchase it. Demand is relatively inelastic. If
substitution of these small cars of USA built will be available, then customers wont go for
Japanese cars. Customers income is also vital from the pricing of cars. If price is high and
income doesnt increase, then customers wont buy these cars with higher tax.
