Consider a perfectly competitive market where the demand for the good is given by Q=769-5p, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. On the supply side, the industry supply function is given by Q=-7+5p. What is the value of the market's "welfare" in equilibrium? ?

= = 41. Suppose that the market for cigarettes is initially in equilibrium and is perfectly competitive. The demand curve can be expressed as P 60Qd; the supply curve can be expressed as P 0.5Qs. Quantity is expressed in millions of boxes per month. What are the amount traded and the price for this market? a) Q = 40; P = 20 b) Q = 20; P = 40 c) Q = 30; P = 30 d) Q = 30; P = 15
In a competitive market, (inverse-) demand is P(Qd)=130 – (2/2)*Qd, while (inverse-) supply is P(Qs)=10 + (4/2)*Qs. What is the equilibrium quantity?
Consider a competitive market for red lentils with 100 identical farmers in Horsham Victoria, a competitive market price of $5 and the following MC for each farmer: MC = $0.05Q Also consider the following market demand function: QD a) Calculate the optimal level of production (in tonnes) for each farmer (show workings) = = 1000 - 40P b) Assuming 100 lentil farmers of equal size how many tonnes of lentils in total will be supplied in the entire market? (show all workings) c) Consider that the government now imposes a 25% tax on producers, calculate i) the new equilibrium level of output for each firm (hint - think about how this affects each farmer's marginal cost), and ii) new total supply in the entire market (show all workings)
Consider a competitive market for the paper-making industry. The demand curve for paper is represented by the equation P = 120 – 2Q, while supply is represented by the equation P = 60 + Q, where Q is the quantity of paper (measured in tons) and P is the price of paper per ton for each paper mill (measured in dollars). Suppose the industry pollutes the environment by discharging waste chemicals that present a health risk to the public. a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market? b) Suppose the government determines that the social cost of unregulated paper-making activity is $30 per ton of paper. The government decides to internalise this activity through imposing the appropriate per unit tax on paper mills. What would be the socially optimal quantity of paper, and what would be the price for each paper mill?
A retail chain will buy 900 cordless phones if the price is $30 each and 800 if the price is $40. A wholesaler will supply 350 phones at $40 each and 1400 at $70 each. Assuming that the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point and explain what it means.
Let us consider an economic sector characterized by the following data. The (inverse) demand function is p = 20 -2q with q the quantities produced by the firms in the sector and p the price. The total cost of production for any firm in the sector is: CT(q) = q* - 4q +5 (I have included the questions and answers a) and b) if necessary) a) First, assume that there is only one firm, firm 1, in the industry. Calculate the price, quantity produced and profit of firm 1 in a monopoly situation that wants to maximize its profit Answer: Total Revenue = p*q = (20 - 29) q Marginal Revenue = d(TR)/dq = 20 - 4g Marginal Cost = d(Cq)/dq = 2q - 4 Putting in optimal condition: MR = MC 20 - 4g = 29 - 4 Putting in demand function: p* = 12 (Profit maximizing Output) q* = 4 (Profit maximizing Output) b) Firm 1 seeks to deter the entry of another firm, firm 2, into its market through a sustainable monopoly strategy. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity and profit of firm 1 given this strategy Answer:…
THIS EXERCISE FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC : Question (1): Suppose the estimated quantity demand for potato chips is Q = 140 – 15p and the quantity supply function for potato chips is Q = 115 + 10p. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for the number of bags of potato chips. Suppose that the main costs of producing potato chips are labor and potatoes. On a per unit basis, the cost of producing and manufacturing a bag of potato chips rises by $1.50. The firms are citing higher labor costs and fewer potatoes are grown due to the poor climate. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity? Whichever curve you think a shift will occur, derive the new function. Suppose that a health news piece has been published indicating the ill effects of consuming potato chips. The news has been published after the firms incurred the higher costs of production. Consumers are being advised to consume popcorn or pretzels instead of potato chips. How would that affect the market for potato…
Consider a competitive market for red lentils with 10,000 identical farmers, a competitive market price of $5 and the following MC for each farmer: MC = $0.5+ $0.05Q Also consider the following market demand function: Q_D=1,100,000-40,000P a) Calculate the optimal level of production (in tonnes) for each farmer (show workings). b) Assuming 10,000 lentil farmers of equal size, determine the market supply function and the equilibrium market quantity (show workings). c) Consider that the government now imposes a 25% tax on producers, calculate the new market equilibrium price (two decimal places) and new market equilibrium output (two decimal places) (show workings). d) Calculate the value of the deadweight loss for the consumer and the producer following a 25% tax on red lentils, as well as, the amount of government revenue.
Consider a perfectly competitive market where the demand for the good is given by Q-769-5p, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. On the supply side, the good can be produced by identical firms with U-shaped average cost curves. The total cost of the industry as a function of total output, Q, is given by C(Q) = 5 Q What is the (long run) equilibrium price in this market? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number. Don't round, even if rounding makes sense...)

Consider the perfectly competitive market for fire extinguishers in the town of Emberton. The demand for fire extinguishers is Pp = 100 – 2Q and the supply of fire extinguishers is Ps = 10 + Q. The equilibrium price in this market is P = $40 and at that price, 30 fire extinguishers are bought and sold. Suppose the government of Emberton imposes a $6 per unit tax on fire extinguishers. Under this tax fire extinguishers are bought and sold. Of the $6 tax, V will be borne by consumers and v will be borne by producers. The tax causes consumer surplus to change from an initial level of V to a new level of
