Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for snake oil. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, P = $1.50, and Q = 35 units. When the price is $12.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 73 units and the quantity supplied of snake oil is 109 units. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. What is the elasticity of supply for snake oil? Please round to two decimal places. elasticity of supply for snake oil:

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
Suppose the demand for organic bananas is given by the following equation: Qd = 10 - 1P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of organic bananas, and P is the price of organic bananas. Suppose further that the supply of organic bananas is: Qs = 3 + 2P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of organic bananas. What is the equilibrium market quantity of organic bananas? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
Looking for help on how you would go about solving the following problem: The following functions represent the demand and supply for hair cuts. QD=300-6P QS=2P-20 what demand function would accurately represent an increase in demand for hair cuts? QS=450-6P QD =150-6P QD =450-5P QD =450-6P
The weekly demand for wine in the United States is described by the following equation: Qd = 45,000,000 - 1,500,000P where Qd is the weekly quatity demanded in bottles and P is the price per bottle in dollars. The weekly supply of wine in the United States is described by the following equation: Qs = -5,000,000 + 1,000,000P where Qs is the weekly quantity supplied in bottles and P is the price per bottle in dollars. a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for wine in the US? Intense lobbying efforts result in the United States government establishing a $5 per bottle excise tax by wine producers. b. What would be the new equilibirum price and quantity after the imposition of the per bottle excise tax? c. Determine the total amount of the consumer surplus assuming the market for wine is in equilibrium after the imposition of the excise tax.

Consider the supply and demand for electric cars. If the materials used to make specifically electric car batteries become significantly more expensive at the same time that consumer income drastically increases, what will happen to the price and quantity demanded of electric cars?
Suppose the supply equation is: Q = 11 + 0.40p. What is the price elasticity of supply if the market price is $13? (round your answer to three decimal places).
Economists in Champaign have been studying the local market for pizza. The market is described in the graph below: What is the price elasticity of demand(in absolute value) when the price changes from $7 to $5?(Round your answer to include 2 decimal places.)
Does this imply that ice cream and frozen yogurt are complements or substitutes and does that answer match your intuition for whether or not ice cream and frozen yogurt are complements or substitutes? If not, how can you account for the value of the cross price elasticity implied by the data?
Many professional sports teams increase their ticket prices every year, but they keep selling out their home games. Does this mean that tickets to sporting events are not subject to the law of demand (law of demand states that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded)? Please give an explanation.
Initially, the market for nitrile gloves is in equilibrium. In applying the concepts of supply and demand, which of the following will happen at the new equilibrium point in the nitrile gloves market if the demand curve shifts to the right by the same amount that the supply curve shifts to the right? The price of nitrile gloves will increase. The price of nitrile gloves will decrease. The price of nitrile gloves will stay the same. There will be a surplus of nitrile gloves in the market. There will be a shortage of nitrile gloves in the market.
