1. Congratulations, you've been hired as a market analyst for the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP) and you will be responsible for monitoring the market for maple syrup. The market can be described by the following calibrated demand and supply functions: Qd = 1180-20P +2P, (1) (2) Qs = 50P-200 where P is the price of a 16oz bottle of syrup, Pį is the price for a bottle of maple flavored corn syrup, and Qd and Q, are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied of maple syrup. (a) How much maple syrup should the QMSP be prepared to give away if they decided to give maple syrup to everyone who wants it free of charge as a marketing ploy? (Hint: your answer will depend on Pt) Find the inverse demand and inverse supply equations. Determine the highest price at which suppliers would not be willing to sell any syrup. (b) Assuming that P, = 10, graph (inverse) supply and (inverse) demand for the market with a clearly labeled graph and calculate the equilibrium price (P*)…
Consider the demand ftunction for processed pork in Canada, Q, = 796.00 - 37p • 20p, + 3p. + 0.002Y %3D The supply function for processed pork in Canada is: Q = 363.00 + 54p - 60ph pis the price of pork Pp is the price of beof = $4 per kg Q is the quantity of pork demanded Pe is the price of chicken = $3 per kg Y is the income of consumers = $12,500 Ph is the price of a hog = $1.50 per kg (measured in millions of kg per year) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity for pork. The equilibrium price of pork is S and the equilibrium quantity of pork is milion kg per year. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded up to two decimal places.)
The coconut oil demand function (Buschena and Perloff, 1991) is Q = 1,200 - 9.5p + 16.2 pp + 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 45 ¢ per pound, Pp is 31 ¢ per pound, and Q is 1,275 thousand metric tons per year. Calculate the income elasticity of demand for coconut oil.

We obtain the following demand curve of beef in a market: Q = 44506.941 - 3338.553 ln(P), where Q is quantity demanded of beef measured in pounds, P is price measured in dollars per pound. We know the average of P is 8.781 and the average of Q is 13016.956. Based on this information, if the price increases by 1 dollar, the quantity demanded decreases by ____%. the answer is 2.921, I need the step by step solution to get the answer

Gasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
