Find the equilibrium point for the supply and demand functions below. Enter your answer as an ordered pair. S(x)=4x+6 and D(x)=48-3x
Stutz Department Store will buy 10 pairs of sunglasses if the price is $76 per pair and 30 pairs if the price is $26. The supplier of the sunglasses is willing to provide 35 pairs if the price is $81 per pair but only 5 pairs if the price is $21. Assuming that the supply and demand functions for the sunglasses are linear, find the market equilibrium point. Suppose that in a certain market the demand function for a product is given by 10p + q = 2,100 and the supply function is given by 50p − q = 1,350. (Assume price is measured in dollars.) If the government levies a tax of $3 per item, find the equilibrium point after the tax is levied. The tax is added to the selling price of the product.
Ayana is pitching an idea for a startup company that makes and sells solar-powered phonechargers (C). Her market research has found that consumer demand for this product can beexpressed as a function of the price of the charger itself (PC), the price of phones (PF), andthe consmer’s income (I). Consumer demand can be described by the function C(PC, PF, I) =(i−10PC)/ (PF) Suppose her chargers come in all different capacities to meet any quantity demanded, so youdon’t need to worry about restricting C to whole numbers for this problem. (a) Does this product satisfy the law of demand?Explain.

Pat is a representative consumer in the neighbourhood market for Jr Chickens. Their utility function for JCs and all other goods is given by: U(JC,Y) = 10JC – (JC^2)/2 + Y MUc = 10- JC MUy= 1 Every McDonald's franchise has the following production function for Jr Chickens: JC = 4K^(1/2) + 2L^(1/2) MPx = 2/K^(1/2) MPL= 1/L^(1/2) a. Derive Pat's Marshallian demand for Jr. Chickens. You can assume Pat has a trust fund and can always afford it. b. There are five other people in the neighbourhood who like Jr Chickens.

Please answer the question fully and completely else I will rate negative, thanks! Question 3 Consider an economy with two consumers, A and B, two goods called 1 and 2 and one firm. Consumers A and B are each endowed with a unit of each good. The utility functions of each consumer are: A: 13 4 4 u (x₁‚x2 ) = lnx₁ + Inx2 B:u ₁₂ (x, ‚ x 2 ) = x, x 2 The firm B 1 A 1 1 2 produces good 2 using good 1 as an input, according to the production function f(y) = y where y is the quantity of good 1. Consumer A is the sole shareholder of the firm and the firm operates to maximize profit. Page 2 If P₁ and P2 determine the utility maximizing demand of consumer are the per unit prices of goods 1 and 2, . B for each good as a function of p, and P2 · If P₁ P 2 1 and are the per unit prices of goods 1 and 2, determine the profit maximizing demand of the firm for good 1 as a function of p₁ and p2. Ifp, and p2 are the per unit 1 prices of goods 1 and 2, determine the utility maximizing demand of consumer…
A manufacturing business can supply 60 plasma TV sets per month at a price of $280 per set, or sell 140 plasma TV sets if the price is $370 per set. A group of retailers will buy 80 plasma TV’s if the price is $350 per pair and 120 plasma TV’s if the price is $300 per set. Given that the demand and supply functions must be linear: Find the linear equations representing both demand and supply Find the point of market equilibrium (number of TVs: q) and the price per unit (p) at that point.
