The short run price elasticity for electricity consumption is -0.20. If the current price of electricity in central Ohio is $0.10 per Kilowatt hour (delivered to your home), and the typical homeowner uses 900 Kilowatt hours per month, what will happen to consumption of electricity for the typical homeowner if price falls by $0.02 per Kilowatt hour?
The US demand curve for transporting freight by truck is а° - 580B - 60в "Р, where B denotes billion. Here, P is the price to transport a standard shipping container one mile, and quantity Q is the number of shipping-container-miles transported in a year. The marginal cost of transport is $1/mile (i.e., fuel and driver costs). Each truck can drive up to a maximum of 100,000 miles/year. Assume each truck carries one shipping container. The annual fixed cost of operating a truck is $200,000. Consequently, the average cost of a truck that drives q miles a year is ($200,000/q) +$1. All trucks have the same costs. There are no barriers to setting up a new trucking firm and/or acquiring additional trucks, and there are large numbers of people capable of running a trucking firm. Part (a) Sketch average and marginal costs for a truck, as a function of miles driven. Part (b) (i) (ii) (ii) (iv) (v) What is the price-per-mile of transporting freight by truck? How many miles does the combined US…

S S p' p* D Y* X' X* →数量 M The supply function and demand function of a certain agricultural product are as follows: S=2p- 40, D=-2p+120. p is the unit price. Let's assume that the home country is a small country. The international price of the product is P*=25. The government then decides to impose restrictions on the import quantity of this product and the limited amount is ='-' (see the graph). In an open economy situation, when M=40, please answer questions 15-18.15. Please calculate the consumer surplus of this country. 16. Please calculate the producer surplus of this country. 17. Please calculate the total surplus of this country. 18. Please calculate the deadweight loss of this country.
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 = $
13) If the demand for a good is given by: Q = 3Pt-1-13 Where Q is quantity andP is the price of the commodity. The price is flexible to ensure that the market always clears. QP = 52 - 2Pt a) What is the long term equilibrium price and quantity? b) What is the time path of price c) Suppose now due to a temporal disturbance I the neighboring country, government export 10 units of the commodity, effectively reducing the quantity available on the domestic ,market by 10 What will be the price of the commodity in this initial period? How much output will be produced next year and what will be selling price? i. ii. iii. 3/4 Will the price converge to its long run equilibrium after this disturbance?
Suppose that President Clinton has recently recommended that the U.S. should use some of the strategic oil reserves (oil stored underground and owned by the United States government) in order to solve the U.S. oil supply problem. Assume that quantity demanded in the short-run is inelastic at 1 million barrels per day. The quantity supplied (per day) is equal to 700,000 + 10,000P (where P is the price for a barrel of oil). a. What would be the current price for a barrel of oil? N b. If Clinton releases 100,000 barrels per day, what is the new equilibrium price and quantity? N c. Presidential candidate George W. Bush proposed that all states lower their gasoline tax. Assume that the gasoline tax reduction leads to a $10 decrease in the tax on a barrel of oil (i.e., supply side). What is the new price and quantity? N How much of the tax savings will be passed on to consumer through lower prices? Assume that the changes in part b. have not occurred. d. What impact do each of these two…
The total/aggregate market demand for rubber erasers can be segmented into two components. The first component is the demand for rubber erasers by art students. This demand is given by Qa=10,000-250P. The second component is the demand for rubber erasers by all other purchasers. This demand is given by Qo=15000-500P. a) Draw the demand curve for art students, the demand curve for other purchasers and the aggregate demand curve b) Derive the algebraic expression for the aggregate demand curve. c) If the equilibrium price is $20, determine the consumer surplus for art students.
a) Due to Covid-19, meatpackers are facing substantially higher costs and people are panic buying meat. As a result, we can expect (at least temporarily) Lower prices and no change in quantity Higher prices and an uncertain change in quantity Higher prices and a certain increase in quantity Higher prices and a certain decrease in quantity b) If, against the request of the US, Saudi Arabia decides to further increase the supply of crude oil to the world market, we would expect as a result that (all else equal) the Equilibrium price of crude oil will decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will increase Equilibrium price of crude oil will increase, and the equilibrium quantity will decrease Equilibrium price and quantity of crude oil will increase Equilibrium price and quantity of crude oil will decrease
Suppose the makers of PEZ candies have decided to test market a new dispenser with red, white, and blue candies. The PREZ dispenser (as it will be called in 2024) bearing the likeness of each political party's presidential candy-date is estimated to have a market demand given by: 5Q = 3000 - 200p where p is expressed in dollars per dispenser and Q is expressed in thousands of dispensers sold per week. a. If p= $6 per PREZ dispenser, how many PREZ dispensers will be sold that week? Less than a thousand? b. If p = $6 per PREZ dispenser, what will be the price elasticity of demand? PLEZ show your work. c. If the objective is to maximize revenue, how much would you recommend the company charge per PREZ dispenser?
Q2 At the price of $5.50 per tonne, the annual Canada-wide supply and demand for corn are 2.4 and 2.9 kilotonnes, respectively. When the price rises to $7.30, the supply increases to 2.8 kilotonnes while the demand decreases to 2.4 kilotonnes. (Note that the units for quantities will be in kilotonnes DO NOT convert them to tonnes.) (Q2 a) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) supplied, determine the supply function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. (Q2 b) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) demanded, determine the demand function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. ( Q2 c) Find the equilibrium point and the market clearing price. Show all your work. (Q2 d) Sketch the supply and demand functions on the same graph clearly indicating the equilibrium…
