Problem
In a city, the price for a trip on local mass transit (such as the subway or city buses) has been 10 pesos for a number of years. Suppose that the market for trips is characterized by the following demand curves: in the long run: Q = 30 - 2P; in the short run: Q = 15 - P/ 2. Verify that the long-run demand curve is "flatter" than the short-run curve. What does this tell you about the sensitivity of demand to price for this good? Discuss why this is the case.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
