Question-05: A vegetable fiber is traded in a competitive world market, and the world price is $9 per pound. Unlimited quantities are available for import into the United States at this price. The U.S. domestic supply and demand for various price levels are shown as follows: U.S. Supply (Million LBS) U.S. Demand Price (Million LBS) 3 34 6 4 28 9. 22 12 8 16 15 10 10 18 12 4 What is the equation for demand? What is the equation for supply? а. b. At a price of $9, what is the price elasticity of demand? What is it at a price of $12? What is the price elasticity of supply at $9? At $12? c. In a free market, what will be the U.S. price and level of fiber imports? d.
Refer to Example 2.10, which analyzes the effects of price controls on natural gas. Recall that the free-market wholesale price of natural gas (PG) is $6.40 per mcf (thousand cubic feet), the average price of crude oil (Po) is $50 per barrel, and production and consumption of gas (Q) are 23 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Suppose the price elasticity of supply of natural gas is 0.20, the cross-price elasticity of supply of natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 0.12, the price elasticity of demand for natural gas is -0.60, and the cross-price elasticity of demand for natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 1.25. If so, then the linear supply curve for natural gas is OA. Q=1.346-1.638PG +0.055PO B. Q=12.056+0.368PG -0.495PO- O C. Q=16.296 +0.495P + 1.638Po O D. Q=10.562 +1.066PG-0.327Po O E.

Can someone please assist me with this? the first question goes with number 2. 1. Suppose the demand and supply for milk is described by the following equations: QD = 800-100P; QS= -700 + 400P, where P is price in dollars, QD is quantity demanded in millions of gallons per year, and QS is quantity supplied in millions of gallons per year. Calculate equilibrium quantities and price. 2. If the price in the above market is $4 would the market be in equilibrium, surplus or shortage? If it is in surplus or shortage, how much would the shortage or surplus be?
Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?
