The current world production of oil is 350 million barrels per day and the current world price of oil is N$850 per barrel. The price elasticity of demand (ε) is -0.3 and the elasticity of supply (η) is 0.1. Shiwa Investment is planning to enter the world oil market with a daily production of 13 million barrels of oil per day. For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear Calculate market price and total supply of oil after Shiwa investment has enter the world oil market and explain why the total supply of oil increases with less than 13 million.
The reservation prices (in dollars) of three classes of demanders (classes A, B, and C) for Ricky Parton's (a Latin country-western singer) compact disks are given in the table that follows: Class CD 1 CD 2 А 11 5 В С 10 It costs $4 to produce and distribute each compact disk. The company can sell each CD separately, can put them together as a boxed set (that is, as a pure bundle), or can sell them in a mixed bundling format (offer the CDs both separately and as a boxed set). Assume that each demander wants only one of each of the CDs at the reservation price (or at any lower price) and that there are an equal number of demanders in each class. For simplicity, assume that the only costs are those mentioned here a. What pricing method would you advise Ricky's company to use? b. How much better (profit-wise) is the best pricing method than the second most profitable pricing method?

Consider a competitive market for red lentils with 100 identical farmers in Horsham Victoria, a competitive market price of $5 and the following MC for each farmer: MC = $0.05Q Also consider the following market demand function: QD a) Calculate the optimal level of production (in tonnes) for each farmer (show workings) = = 1000 - 40P b) Assuming 100 lentil farmers of equal size how many tonnes of lentils in total will be supplied in the entire market? (show all workings) c) Consider that the government now imposes a 25% tax on producers, calculate i) the new equilibrium level of output for each firm (hint - think about how this affects each farmer's marginal cost), and ii) new total supply in the entire market (show all workings)
Yearly demand for water by residents and businesses in the city of Black Bear Lake is equal to Qp= 2000-10P where Qp is millions of gallons of water, and P is price. Assume that, due to a drought, the state limits the city to no more than 1800 million gallons of water that it must allocate over a two-year period. The state currently does not charge Black Bear Lake for its water. If the City employs a 5 percent discount rate to determine the intertermporal allocation that maximizes net benefit, what price should it charge per million of gallons of water consumed during the first period, if it wants the market to solve this rationing problem? Please do not use a $ sign. Please round your answer to the nearest penny. Answer:
Do answer all questions. Thanks a) Consider two substitute goods, diesel and compressed natural gas. You are given the demand and supply function of diesel as follows Q = 4.2PC -4PD and Q = 15 + 5PD + 0.30000000000000004PC ; where PD and PC are the prices of diesel(D) and compressed natural gas(C), respectively. If the price of CNG is $6, what is the market price of diesel? b) Now, suppose government decides to regulate the price of diesel and they fix the price at $7.0, ceteris paribus, will there be a surplus or shortage? Calculate the amount of surplus/shortage. (c) Suppose that the market for diesel is not regulated anymore. If the price of CNG has increased from $6 to $11, what will be the new market price of diesel?

The coconut oil demand function (Bushena and Perloff, 1991) is Q=1,200-9.5p+16.2pp +0.2Y, where Q is the quantity of coconut oil demanded in thousands of metric tons per year, p is the price of coconut oil in cents per pound, pp is the price of palm oil in cents per pound, and Y is the income of consumers. Assume that p is initially 50 cents per pound, pp is 29 cents per pound, and Q is 1,325 thousand metric tons per year. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for coconut oil and the cross-price elasticity of demand (with respect to the price of palm oil). The price elasticity of demand is e= (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places and include a minus sign.)

Question 1 Consider ten students who think about rent- ing an inner ring (IR) apartment in College Town. Their reservation prices (in no particular order) are 250, 280, 300, 420, 240, 380, 260, 440, 480, and 400, respec- tively. Suppose the supply of IR apartments is fixed at N = 6, and all landlords have reservation prices of zero. a) Plot an ordered list of the students' RPs in a diagram. b) Plot the (inverse) market demand curve, and the (inverse) market supply curve in a diagram. Explain why your plot in a) is identical (except for the labelling of the vertical axis) to your demand plot in b). c) Find the market equilibrium. How many IR apartments are rented out in a competitive equilibrium? To whom? At which price(s)? Explain.
