You normally take the bus to school and it costs you $5 roundtrip.\ Let's say the bus line was eliminated and now you have to drive to school at a roundtrip cost of $10.\ Your demand for trips (Q) to school as a function of the roundtrip cost of a trip (P) is:\ D: Q = 60 - 2P\ a) Draw a graph that shows the change in travel costs. Shade in the area that corresponds to lost welfare (WTP) from the bus route being eliminated. (3 pts)\ b) What would you be willing to pay for the reintroduction of the bus line? (3pts)

The demand for monorail service in Las Vegas can be approximated by $$ q(p)=64 p^{-0.76} \text { thousand rides per day } \quad(3 \leq p \leq 5) $$ where $p$ is the cost per ride in dollars. 16 a. Graph the demand function. b. What is the result on demand if the cost per ride is increased from $\$ 3.00$ to $\$ 3.50 ?$ HINT [See Example 3.

The demand for monorail service on the Utarek monorail, which links the three urbynes (or districts) of Utarek, Mars, can be approximated by $q(p)=30 p^{-0.49} \quad$ million rides per day $\quad(3 \leq p \leq 5)$ where $p$ is the cost per ride in zonars $(\overline{\mathbf{Z}}) .{ }^{17}$ a. Graph the demand function. b. What is the result on demand if the cost per ride is decreased from $\mathbf{Z}_{5} 5.00$ to $\mathbf{Z}, 3.50 ?$
