Math Problem Statement
The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value Average American household income $40,000 per year Round trip airfare from New York (JFK) to Las Vegas (LAS) $200 per round trip Room rate at the Lucky Hotel and Casino, which is near the Big Winner $250 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 PRICE (Dollars per room) QUANTITY (Hotel rooms) Demand
