Q1. A Fenway park, home of the Boston Red Sox, seating is limited to 39.000. Hence, the number of tickets issued is fixed at that figure. Seeing a golden opportunity to raise revenue, the City of Boston levies a per ticket tax of $5 to be paid by the ticket buyer. Boston sports fans, a famously civic-minded lot, dutifully send in the $5 per ticket. Draw a well-labeled graph showing the impact of the tax. On whom does the tax burden fall-the team's owners, the fans, or both? Why?
Q2. In the text we assumed that the condominium purchasers came from the inner-ring people-people who were already renting apartments. What would happen to the price of inner-ring apartments if all of the condominium purchasers were outer-ring people-the people who were not currently renting apartments in the inner ring?
