In 2018, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) faced a large budget shortfall, due to state-wide budget cuts. In an effort to balance their budget, CTA raised the fare for one train ride from $2.25 to $2.50 on January 1, 2018. In 2017, prior to the fare hike, annual ridership was about 225 (measured in millions). CTA also conducted a study that year and found that the price elasticity of demand was ???? = −0.5. a) Estimate a linear market demand function for train rides in Chicago. Graph the (inverse) market demand curve and show the price/quantity point where the price of a ride is $2.25. What is the price elasticity of demand at that point? Did the increase in fare increase or decrease revenue in the short run, based on the information provided? Can you justify your answer without actually finding the new revenue? b) What is the predicted number of riders (in millions) in 2018? Show this price/quantity point on your graph. Suppose we also know that in 2018, gas prices were low and Uber and Lyft availability increased in Chicago. Would this information change your predicted ridership for 2018? If so, demonstrate this change on your graph, and explain why your graph is consistent with the information given. (Note: Do not try to find a new value for ridership; just describe whether it would be higher or lower than your original projection).

  1. A. A consumer has $360. Good X costs $4 each. Good Y costs $8 each. Draw the budget line. Label it “budget line A.” Preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both X and Y are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice. Label it on the diagram, including the indifference curve, and all solved numbers.

B. A consumer has $400. Good X costs $6 each. Good Y costs $7 each. Draw a new budget line, on a new graph. Label it “budget line B.” Once again, preferences are perfect complements: utility = min{X,Y}. Both are normal goods. Numerically solve the consumer’s budget choice. Label it on the diagram, including the indifference curve, and all solved numbers.

C. Herman Cain ran for president in the year 2000. He made the following policy proposal: Reduce the federal income tax, and make up the federal revenue shortfall with a new national sales tax charged, in addition to the state and local sales tax. Total federal tax revenue would be unchanged. Herman Cain stated that the average person would be better off. Use the objective of the consumer (utility maximization, as illustrated in parts A and B) to explain and evaluate if Herman Cain was right or wrong.
