You are a financial analyst with a specialization in the
motion picture industry. You have been hired to analyze the prices of movie
theater tickets. The following two events are occurring (simultaneously) in the
United States:
(i) A new national chain opens new multi-screen movie
theaters in most U.S. cities.
(ii) Movie theaters cut the price of popcorn and soft drinks
in half.
a. Draw a demand-and-supply graph showing equilibrium in the
market for movie tickets before the above two events take place. Label the axes
and curves. Label the initial equilibrium— before events (i) and (ii) — as P0
and Q0 on your graph.
b. Now show on your graph how event (i) affects the demand
or supply curves for movie tickets. Briefly explain which of the demand or
supply variables caused the effect you are showing on your graph.
c. Now show on your graph how event (ii) affects the demand
or supply curves for movie tickets. Briefly explain which of the demand or
supply variables caused the effect you are showing on your graph.
d. Based on your graphic analysis, what do you predict will
happen to the equilibrium price of movie tickets? The equilibrium quantity of
movie tickets?
