The food and feed demand curves used in the Application "Summing the Corn Demand Curves," were estimated by McPhail and Babcock (2012) to be Qfood = 1,487-22.1p and Qfeed = 6,247.5-226.7p, respectively, where Q is measured in billions of bushels of corn per year. Mathematically derive the total demand curve, which the application's figure illustrates. (Hint: Remember that the demand curve for feed is zero at prices above about $27.56 per bushel.) The total demand curve is (enter your responses rounded to one decimal place): Q=-p for p≥ $27.56 per bushel and Q = -p for p <$27.56 per bushel.
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…
Ethanol, a fuel, is made from corn. Ethanol production increased 9.1 times from 2000 to 2019 (https://ethanolrfa.org/statistics/annual-ethanolproduction/). What effect did this increased use of corn for producing ethanol have on the price of corn and the consumption of corn as food? 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new demand curve (D₂) or a new supply curve (S₂) that shows how the increased use of corn for producing ethanol affects the market for corn as food. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new market equilibrium. Label this point 'e₂'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. $, price of corn Q₁ Q, quantity of corn as food S₁ D₁
The demand and supply functions for a particular commodity are D(x) = 80e-0.001x and S(x)= 30e0.001r , where x is the number of units of the product, D(x) is the price that results in a consumer demand of x units and S(x) is the price that results in a producer supply of x units. a. Find the equilibrium point using your calculator and identify the equilibrium units and price. Give your answers to the nearest whole unit and nearest dollar. The value of x at equilibrium is units. The value of p at equilibrium is b. Determine the consumers' surplus.
Consider a regional with a uniform distribution of population where every household consumes the same amount of a good. The regional government recently stated its policy for the location of factories making the good: “A factory should reach the minimum point of its average production cost curve at an output of 1000 units. Since the total demand for the good is 4000 units, we should have 4 factories in the region. Since the distribution of the population is uniform, the factories should be distributed uniformly throughout the region” Comment on this policy as to in particular whether there should be more or fewer factories for efficiency?
Hi, Please answer the attached question. Thanks!
Suppose a small town has two bakeries: Bakery A and Bakery B. The residents of the town have different preferences when it comes to buying bread. Bakery A produces high-quality bread and charges a price of $5 per loaf, while Bakery B produces standard-quality bread and charges a price of $3 per loaf. The demand for bread in the town can be represented by the following equations: Q_A = 200 - 10P_A + 4P_B Q_B = 150 - 6P_B + 2P_A Where: Q_A and Q_B are the quantities of bread demanded from Bakery A and Bakery B respectively. P_A is the price charged by Bakery A. P_B is the price charged by Bakery B. a) Calculate the quantities of bread demanded from Bakery A and Bakery B when P_A = $5 and P_B = $3. b) Calculate the quantities of bread demanded from Bakery A and Bakery B when P_A = $6 and P_B = $2. c) If Bakery A and Bakery B collaborate and decide to charge the same price, what price should they charge to maximize their combined revenue? Calculate the price and the corresponding quantity…
Consider a hypothetical market for copper (q), where q is measured in 1000 tons. Suppose the supply of virgin copper is Sv = 10+5q. Suppose that the supply for recycled copper is Sr = 15+2.5q. Demand for copper is P = 65 – 1.5q. Note, buyers don’t distinguish between recycled and virgin copper. a. Draw a graph that illustrates these supply and demand conditions. b. What will the equilibrium output level of copper be in this market? What will the equilibrium price be? How much of this copper will be recycled? Label these values on your graph in part a.

Consider the competitive market for production of a chemical as shown in the diagram below. This setup will apply to this question and the next two questions. P ($/gallon) Demand: P=220-Q/100 0 Supply: P = Q/400 Q (gallons) Production of this chemical produces noxious odors that impact the health of the communities surrounding the production facilities. It is well known that every gallon produced increases health costs in society, but there is a lot of argument over how much health costs increase. In reality the number is that health costs increase by $3 per gallon produced, but that it hard to discover. If the government does not intervene in this market, what will be the total surplus for society in this market (including the $3 per gallon health costs)? Please do not round at any step of any calculation. Do not round your final answer.
Green et al. (2005) estimate the supply and demand curves for California processed tomatoes. The supply function is In(Q) = 0.250 +0.450 In(p), Question Viewer where Q is the quantity of processing tomatoes in millions of tons per year and p is the price in dollars per ton. The demand function is In(Q)=2.600 -0.200 In(p) + 0.150 In(pt), where pt is the price of tomato paste (which is what processing tomatoes are used to produce) in dollars per ton. How does the quantity of processing tomatoes supplied vary with the price? It might be easier for you to exponentiate both sides of the equation first. Exponentiating both sides of the supply equation, Q = e(0.250+ 0.450ln(p)) The effect of a change in price on quantity supplied is = (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette.
