Consider a mid-sized suburb where taxi trips within the suburb and the neighboring city are priced at a single price regardless of the distance traveled. The market for taxi trips is currently in equilibrium with no government intervention. The market demand is described by the equation Q = 2650− 75P − 0.4M + 80PR where M is the average consumers' income, PR is the price of a related good, P is the price for a taxi trip and Q is the quantity of taxi trips. If the government imposes a price ceiling for taxi trips, what changes would one expect in the market for taxi trips?

Consider that the retail market for sanitizing wipes in a small locale is described by the follow demand and supply equations respectively: P = 8.40 - 0.02Q and P = 6.60 + 0.01Q where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity measured in thousands per week. The market is currently in equilibrium. (Question 8 of 8) Now consider than an unexpected viral outbreak led to consumers ensuring that much more surfaces (counter tops, door handles, etc.) are clean and sanitized. At the same time, the government's demand for sanitizing wipes at various public institutions (hospitals, schools, etc.) has impacted the supply of sanitizing wipes in the retail market. Although the government is neither a buyer nor seller in the retail market, their requests for sanitizing wipes does affect how many sanitizing wipes firms are able to supply in the retail market. The market for sanitizing wipes adjusts afterwards and the market is in equilibrium. Suppose that after the market for sanitizing wipes…
Suppose the market demand for pizza is given by Qd = 300 – 20P and the market supply for pizza is given by Qs = -100 + 20P, where P = price (per pizza).
Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by: where I is average income measured in thousands dollars. The supply curve is: Q 3P 150. Q=200-2P+41 If1 =25, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product. The market-clearing price is $ and the market-clearing quantity is (Enter your response as an integer.) 220 200 180 160- 140- 120- 100- 80- 60- 40- 20 100 200 Quantity
The demand curve for a product is p = 60 - 0.0005q; where p is the price per unit, and q is the number of units demanded. How many units must be sold to achieve sales of $1,200,000?
Miron Floren, of Lawrence Welk Show fame, now tours the country performing at accordion concerts. A careful analysis of demand for tickets to Mr. Floren’s concerts reveals a strange segmentation in the market. Demand for tickets by senior citizens is described by Qo = 500P^–3/2 , while demand by those under 65 years old is Qy = 50P^–4. If the marginal cost of a ticket is £3, how should tickets to Mr. Floren’s concerts be priced to maximize profits? A. £3 for senior citizens and £8 for those younger B. £6 for senior citizens and £12 for those younger C. £9 for senior citizens and £4 for those younger D. £4.71 for all tickets E. £12 for senior citizens and £4.50 for those younger

Above is the demand schedule for tickets to a Carnegie Hall performance of the Grateful Dead. Carnegie Hall seats 2,400 people. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for a concert of the Grateful Dead at Carnegie Hall? If tickets were sold for $26, what would happen (be specific)?
The demand for and the supply of Dengue vaccine in a small village in South India is given by the following equations: Qa = 1525 + 2,6Y Qs = 2200 + 1.4Y In those equations, Qa and Q, are the quantity demanded and quantity supplied for the Dengue vaccine respectively and Y is the income of the consumers in USD. Calculate the equilibrium quantity and income.
Using the formula Qd = 300 - 40p, find the quantity demanded when the price is $2.50?
Above is the demand schedule for tickets to a Carnegie Hall performance of the Grateful Dead. Carnegie Hall seats 1,800 people. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for a concert of the Grateful Dead at Carnegie Hall? If tickets were sold for $18, what would happen (be specific)?
Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view? Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.
Using the formula Qs = 100 + 40p, find the quantity supplied when the price is $6.00.
