2. The market for apartments in the town of Westville is currently in equilibrium, and consumers are renting 700 apartments at a price of $1,000 per apartment. (a) Assuming that the supply of apartments is perfectly inelastic, draw a correctly labeled graph for the apartment market and label the equilibrium price and quantity using the values above. (b) Now assume the government imposes a price (rent) ceiling of $800 for an apartment. On your graph in part (a), show the following. (i) The price ceiling at $800 (ii) The quantity demanded, labeled as Qa (iii) The quantity supplied, labeled as Q, (c) On your graph, shade completely the area representing the consumer surplus after the imposition of the price ceiling.

Exercise: You study the arms market represented by the following demand function qd = 150 - p - 4pa, with p the price of an ammunition and pa the price of chromium molybdenum alloy, a steel used to make firearms. The supply function is given by q³ = -50 + 26p - 5pp, with p, the price of powder (an essential input for making ammunition) QUESTION: Compute the direct and cross-price elasticity of demand at equilibrium prices and quantities, for Pr=15 and p,=1
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is

If the current price of the product is $150, what is thequantity supplied and the quantity demanded? How would you describe thissituation, and what would you expect to happen in this market?e. Suppose that demand changes to QD= 600 â€“ 2P.Find the new equilibrium price and quantity, and show this on your graph.***PLEASE SHOW ALL EQUATIONS AND METHODS,
Consider the demand for shrimp shown in Figure 2. Suppose the current demand for shrimp is D (in black), the current price of a pound of shrimp is $10, and the current quantity demand for shrimp is 200K. Which of the following correctly describes the effect of a decrease in the price of a pound of shrimp? A) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve shifts left to D'' (red), and the quantity demand for shrimp remains at 200K pounds. B) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve remains at D (black), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases to 150K pounds. C) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve shifts right to D' (blue), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases to 270K pounds. D) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve remains at D (black), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases to 270K.

A1-1. Imagine that a market for a good is characterized by the following supply and demand equations: QS = –35 + 35P QD =100 – 10P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. (a) Graph the supply and demand curves with quantity on the horizontal and price on the vertical axis. Be sure to calculate the P and Q intercepts for demand and the P intercept for supply. Calculate and illustrate the equilibrium price and quantity. [Hint: Show your work.] (b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.] (c) If a regulator imposes a quantity restriction by granting quotas for 60 units of output to existing producers, what is the new price and quantity traded?

Market in equilibrium: consider a market for smartphones where the equilibrium price (P*) is $600 per phone, and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) is 100,000 phones per month draw the initial supply and demand graph. qor Q Events: Due to a global shortage of microchips, the cost of producing smartphones increases significantly. Additionally, a new study reveals that smartphone usage can lead to improved cognitive abilities, leading to an increased demand for smartphones. Explain how both the supply and demand curves would be affected. Draw the new supply and demand curves on your graph (in red) and predict the changes in equilibrium price and quantity.

Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 31.0. When the price is $8.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 75.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 105.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food. Please round to two decimal places.
