Imagine that you have been given a job as an economic advisor to evaluate a certain competitive US manufacturing industry. Your (accurate) statistical analysis indicates the market is characterized by demand of Qd = 300 - 3P and supply of Qs = 2P - 50. • Solve for equilibrium price P1 and quantity Q1. • Depict the supply curve S1 and demand curve D1 on the usual P, Q diagram. Label all relevant intercepts (including two intercepts for the demand curve and one intercept for the supply curve). Clearly indicate and label the market equilibrium. • Graphically indicate the areas of Consumer Surplus (CS1) and Producer Surplus (PS1). • Compute the values of Consumer Surplus (CS1) and Producer Surplus (PS1), clearly indicating the units that CS and PS are measured in.

c. Suppose that Cape Cod Chip Company reduces the price of their 'kettle cooked' potato chips by 50%. Market studies indicate that tater lights compete with premium brand chips like the Cape Cod Co. products. Will this affect the supply of or the demand for the Tater Lights. How would the curve be affected? Supply/Demand (circle one). Direction of adjustment: + d. Illustrate the situation in (c) in the coordinate axis below. P
One of the pandemic measures adopted by the city of Regina consists of a food-delivery fee cap (maximum fee) of 14% of the pre-tax order price. This fee is charged by delivery services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Skip the Dishes. Some restaurants in the city argue that the cap (in percentage terms) is to high due to the small profits earned in this industry. Represent graphically the equilibrium in the market for food (restaurants) in the city in the absence of any interventions
A stadium can seat 60,000 people. Assume 35% of seats are not occupied (not for sale) because of Covid-19 and social distancing requirements. You are told that the current price of tickets is $70 and that the demand is linear and that the demand function (Qd) = 60,000 - 250P. examine the market for tickets for games at the stadium during these Covid times. You should Illustrate themarket for tickets using a demand and supply diagram. Show all your calculations and properly label the diagram. At $70 a ticket the cap on the number of seats available (because of Covid restrictions) is creating a shortage. How many people miss out on tickets when they are priced at $70 per ticket?
Suppose you have been hired by a research firm trying to understand the market for Widgets (a hypothetical product). Your analysis of the data indicates that the Demand curve for Widgets is estimated to be linear and given by equation Qd = 150 – 3P and the Supply curve for Widgets appears to be linear as well and is estimated as Qs = 2P – 20. Graphically draw these two curves, labeling all relevant points (such as intercepts for each line) on the horizontal and vertical axes.

Mattel has conducted studies to determine the best price to set for their Barbie doll figures. Based on data received through these studies, it was calculated that Mattel could sell 3,000 Barbie dolls at a set price of $17.99. However, it was also determined that if the price per doll was reduced to $9.99, they could sell an additional 2,000 Barbie dolls. Find the linear demand equation (price function, y) as a function of the quantity, x, sold.
8. Consider a general equilibrium model with two commodities. The excess demand functions for the two commodities are: El (2P₁)-¹ (P₁+2P₂) - 1 E2 = (2P2)¹ (P₁+2P₂) - 2 (c) Solve for the equilibrium price vector. What can you say about the stability of the model? Please, Disregard Markings. Thank You.
Suppose that at a price of $1 per subscription, 100,000 subscriptions are demanded for The Post-Standard (the major daily newspaper servicing the greater Syracuse, New York). But, if the price is raised to $1.1, demand is 70,000 subscriptions. As the head of the analytic team, will you suggest to the editor of Post- Standard that an increase in subscription price will not significantly influence consumer demand? E = |-3|>10Elastic demand (an increase in subscription price will significantly influence consumer demand)
In a certain market, the demand for peach was given as QD = 400 -3P, the first day of marketing in 2020, in August 2020, the demand for peach is now given as QD = 200 -3P. a)From the statement above tell in one sentence the change in demand; considered the indicator? b)What factors are responsible for the change in demand. Support your answers by sketching the equations above on the same graph.
The demand for bacon is given by Q d=70-3p and the supply is Q s=2p-30. (a). Draw the demand and supply functions. Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. (b). Suppose due to increased health awareness the demand changes to 50-3p. The supply remains the same. Draw the new demand function on the same graph, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity. Has the demand increased or decreased? How did the equilibrium price and quantity change compared to part a.?
