Assess the validity of the following: If true, mark true; if false, explain why the statement is false.  

  1. An increase in disposable income decreases the quantity demanded of inferior goods.
  2. Constant elasticity demand curves imply that expenditure (or revenue) always stay the same.
  3. Marginal Revenue is positive as long as Total Revenue is also positive.
  4. If in a model with only two goods the MRSX, Y is constant and greater than the price ratio PX/PY, the consumer buys no X.
  5. The law of diminishing returns does not apply if the Total Product of labor were to be linear.
  6. If over the relevant range the Price Consumption Curve for good Y is parallel to the y-axis, the demand for good X is perfectly inelastic.
  7. In stage I of the production process, Total Product always increases at an increasing rate.

Market Research:

You have an apple orchard. You let people pick their own apples. When you let people pick a small bag for $6, there were 6,316 small bags sold. You do some market research and find that a $0.25 increase in price means 235 fewer small bags of apples sold. Recall that revenue is quantity sold X Price per quantity. If we let x be the number of $0.25 increases or decreases from $6 and R be revenue, then answer the following questions:

A) What equation represents what you expect the revenue to be based on your research?

B) Based on your answer in A, if you charge $5.75 (x= -1) how much do you expect the revenue to be?

C) At what price or prices will you have $30,000 in sales, If your expectations listed above are true?

I would appreciate any and all help. If you give the answers, could you please show work and explain how you got them? I did my best in trying to re-write the questions (my professor doesnt have great grammar.)
