2. Suppose the market for rum can be described by the following equations: Demand: P = 10 – Q Supply: P = Q-4 where P is the price in US dollars per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. Then: What is the equilibrium price and quantity? a. b.
Question 1 Figure 4-9 Panel (a) P₁ P ↑price ↑ T D quantity O placing a tax on cigarettes an increase in the price of cigarettes Panel (b) ↑price T D' Refer to Figure 4-9. The graphs show the demand for cigarettes. In Panel (b), the arrows are consistent with which of the following events?

1.Suppose quantity demanded for good z is given by QDz= 500 -50PZ+ 10Y -42PX, where x and z are two different goods and Y represents income. a.ls good x a normal or inferior good? b.ls good z a normal or inferior good? C.Are goods x and z complements or substitutes? d.Now suppose quantity supplied for good z is given by QSz =50PZ-400. Let's also assume Px= $1 and Y = 10. Find equilibrium price and quantity. e.ls the market equilibrium efficient? How do you know? 2. Suppose that when the firm charges a price of $24 per unit they sell 17 units. When they drop the price to $21 per unit they sell 18 units. If we assume the demand curve is linear and nothing else is changing, then find an equation for the demand curve
In the figure to the right, the current position of the demand curve for a good is D₁, and the price of the good, which is a normal good, is $4. If there is an increase in consumer incomes, which way will the demand curve shift? Will the quantity demanded of the good increase or decrease? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the new demand curve for a normal good after consumer incomes increase. Label this line 'D₂.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the point on the new demand curve, D₂, that corresponds to the quantity demanded when the price is $4 per good. Label this point 'A₂. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price per Unit of the Good ($) 2A₁ D₁ 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity of the Good Demanded

1. Consider the market for Widgets. Suppose that the equation for the supply curve is: Qs = 1,000P – 10,000, and the equation for the demand curve is: Qa = 50,000 – 2,000P. It turns out that the equilibrium price is 20, while the equilibrium quantity is 10,000. a. Use a 10% increase in quantity to estimate (crudely) both the elasticity of supply and the elasticity of demand at the equilibrium quantity. i) Categorize supply and demand as elastic or inelastic at the equilibrium quantity. ii) Is supply or demand relatively more inelastic at the equilibrium quantity? b. If the government enacted a tax of $3, the loss in consumer surplus would be 9,000, while the loss in producer surplus would be 18,000 (see Homework 2, question #2.) Compare this information to your answer to part (a). Explain. c. Now estimate (crudely) the elasticity of demand at a quantity of 11,000 by decreasing quantity by 1,000. Compare your estimate of elasticity to the estimate in part (a). Comment.
4. U.S. agricultural farmers are excited since the government announced an increase in subsidies even though the substitutes for agricultural goods that are imported have increased in demand; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.
