University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) was founded in 1965 as a private professional business education tuition provider. In 1999, by means of the Institute of Professional Studies Act, (Act 566), it became a tertiary institution with the mandate to provide tertiary and professional education in Accountancy, Management and related disciplines. The school has a student population of approximately 12,000. The school now have a state-of-the- art Students’ Center where food, snacks and drinks are served to students and staff. Nevertheless, a sizeable number of UPSA students patronize Auntie Ama’s (ATM) rice and beans food located at Madina Estate close to the Home-Made restaurant. In a quest to be able to predict the packs of rice Auntie Ama can sell in a month, she employed an economist to estimate the demand curve for her food. By sampling a total of 28 consumers, the economist estimated the demand function for Auntie Ama’s food as: Qxd= -175 – 1.5Px + 2.25Py + 0.5I +…

Price ($/unit) 150 120 70 40 10 100 $2,500 $1,500 $4,000 $1,000 200 300 Supply Demand Quantity (thousands) Referring to the above figure, and as a result of the price increasing from $70 to $120, total deadweight loss to consumers and producers would be:
The per-week (inverse) demand for use of the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden is P = 13 − 0.15Q during peak traffic periods and P = 10 − 0.1Q during off-peak hours, where Q is the number of cars crossing the bridge in thousands and P is the toll in euros. If the marginal cost of using the bridge is MC = 5 + 0.2Q, what is the optimal peak load toll and off-peak load toll for crossing the bridge?
