1. The demand and supply functions of beans are respectively given as 20QB +15PB-5PR=6000 and 10QB-15PB=1200. Similarly, the demand and supply of rice are Qr+Pr-PB=250 and 3Qr-7PR=710. Pɛ and PR are prices of beans and rice. QB is demand of beans and Qr is demand of rice. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of beans and rice. Are rice and beans substitute? Explain your answer.
Suppose that the market demand for Turkey is given by: Q_(T)=2-8P_(T)+2P_(C)+0.0015I Where Q_(T) is annual quantity demanded of turkey in million pounds, P_(T) is the price of turkey per pound, P_(C) is price of chicken per pound, and I is the average household income in dollars per year. a. Find the annual quantity demanded of turkey if the price turkey is $2.00 per pound, price of chicken is $1.50 per pound and the annual household income is $30,000.
Question 4 Suppose there is a decrease in supply in a market where the supply curve slopes upwards and the demand curve slopes downwards. Which of the following would not occur? a) An excess supply. b) A fall in price. c) A fall in supply. d) A fall in the equilibrium level of expenditure. Question 5 Suppose a market is in equilibrium, and then the demand increases. Which of the following would be shown on a graph that illustrated the effects? a) An excess demand at the initial equilibrium price. b) An excess demand at the new equilibrium price. c) An excess supply at the initial equilibrium price. d) An excess supply at the new equilibrium price.
4. U.S. agricultural farmers are excited since the government announced an increase in subsidies even though the substitutes for agricultural goods that are imported have increased in demand; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.
The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags. Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this. Price ($ per bag) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.0 What is the price paid per bag by consumers (Pc) with this new tax?
