Suppose supply is P= 4 + (1/4)Qs and demand is P= 58 ―(1/2)Qs. At a glance, can you tell whether supply or demand is more price elastic in equilibrium? How? What does this tell you about who will pay more of a tax on this product?
When tolls on the Dulles Airport Greenway were reduced from $1.25 to $1.05, traffic increased from 15,000 to 20,000 trips a day. Assuming all changes in quantity were due to the change in price, what is the price elasticity of demand for the Dulles Airport Greenway?
Suppose the demand and supply for Xbox-One are: Qd = 500 - 2P, Qs = -100 + 4P . Assume that consumers demand 75 less Xbox units at each price. Also, a new tax has been imposed on foreign microchips, increasing the costs of production, and reducing supply by 35 units at each price Given this information find: a. CS0 = $ b. CS2 = $ c. PS2 = $
4-3 In each of the following instances, determine whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit-elastic. If price increases by 10 percent and quantity demanded decreases by 10 percent, demand is _______. If price decreases by 10 percent and quantity demanded increases by 5 percent, demand is _______.
Suppose the supply equation is: Q = 11 + 0.40p. What is the price elasticity of supply if the market price is $13? (round your answer to three decimal places).
The short-run demand and supply elasticities for crude oil are -0.076 and 0.088, respectively. The current price per barrel is $30 and the short-run equilibrium quantity is 23.84 million barrels per year. What will be the effects on the market price and quantity if the government decides to purchase (and store away) an additional 2 million barrels of oil? Assume that the additional consumption of oil by the government results in a parallel shift of the supply curve to the left by 2 million barrels per day What could be the economic rationale for buying and storing oil?
The following graph plots a supply curve for some hypothetical good. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 270 135 W True False QUANTITY (Units) Elastic II II II II II II 88 99 For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Inelastic Between V and W Between X and Y Supply ? True or False: As firms reach near maximum capacity at high levels of quantity supplied, supply becomes more elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to further increase production.
Suppose the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.7 and that the government can essentially set the price of cigarettes by altering the tax rate. If the government wishes to reduce the quantity of cigarettes demanded by 20 percent, how much must it raise the price of cigarettes? The government, to achieve its goal, must raise the price of cigarettes by percent. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)
You are the curator of a museum. It is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. When should you raise the admission price in order to increase revenue? Always Only when demand is elastic Only when demand is inelastic
Correctly illustrate the market (supply and demand curve). Make sure to correctly shade the area of the tax. a) Washington state has a salmon market which sells salmon at a price of P. At that price, Q lbs. of salmon will be consumed in one week. Elasticity of supply: relatively elastic Elasticity of demand: relatively inelastic In addition, suppose Washington state were to levy an excise tax collected by producers.
Identify three factors that are likely to affect the price elasticity of supply for rice. Clearly indicate the impact that each factor with have on the price of rice elasticity.
