The price elasticity of supply for basmati rice (an aromatic strain of rice) is likely to be which of the following? multiple choice Higher in the long run than the short run, because farmers cannot easily change their decisions about how much basmati rice to plant once the current crop has been planted. Low in both the long and short runs, because rice farming requires only unskilled labor. High in both the long run and the short run, because the inputs required to produce basmati rice can easily be duplicated. High, because consumers have a lot of other kinds of rice and other staple foods to choose from.

Suppose the supply equation is: Q= 12 + 0.70p. What is the price elasticity of supply if the market price is $5? (round your answer to three decimal places). This means that if the price increases by 8%, the quantity supplied will by % (round your answer to two decimal places).
Suppose that the inverse demand curve for a product is given by: P = 100-Qd+ 2M, where M is the average income in 1000 USD. The inverse supply is P = 0.5Q - 20. If M = 15 the equilibrium price is equal to and the equilibrium quantity is equal to 40, 60 100,30 30,100 60.40
You are an economist for the City Subway Commission. Presently, the price of a subway ride is 80 cents, and 250000 seats are filled weekly. The price elasticity of demand for subway rides is -0.40, and the income elasticity of demand is -0.60. (A) If a recession lowered area incomes by 5%, how many additional seats per week would the subway need?

Gasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
