What new decisions will you make regarding production levels and pricing for your Widget facility? • What is the difference between a change in demand versus a change in quantity demanded? A change in supply versus a change in quantity supplied? Why is it so important to differentiate between these similar-sounding terms?

  4. ECON 545 DEVRY Tutorial ECON 545 Week 1 DQ 2 Elasticity and the Minimum Wage ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 1 Marginal Analysis • What are your thoughts about minimum wage legislation?

How do the tutorials Basics of Marginal Analysis and Understanding and Applying Marginal Analysis at the end of this week's lecturereinforce the concepts of marginal analysis?

I'm looking for more creative ways. Maybe you can think of some that your firm is not currently using. Be creative here. • b. (20 points) Price Elasticity of Demand facing you in your scenario, including actual calculation of it using the midpoint formula. If you can’t find data, then determine the Price Elasticity from the Characteristics and make up numbers to use. Be sure to identify this if you use this approach. This will help you in deciding the slope of your Demand curve below.
