Part A and B 1. As the newest member of a team of economic advisors for the great state of Pennsylvania, you are assigned toanalyze the gasoline market. Suppose demand for gas is a function of the price of gas, P, and the price ofelectricity at charging stations for electric vehicles, Po. Assume that electric charging is a substitute for gasoline.Supply of gasoline is a function only of the price of gas, P.a. The first question posed by the governor's office is how the market equilibrium price and quantity ofgasoline, P* and Q*, will be impacted if there is a decrease in the price of electricity P. at chargingstations for electric vehicles. Use a diagram for the market for gasoline, assuming downward slopingdemand and upward sloping supply, to provide an answer, and explain why the answer makes senseusing the concept of substitute goods.b. The governor's office is worried that your answer about the impact on price might be wrong becauseyou do not know the exact shapes of the true demand and supply functions in the market for gasoline.Use calculus, and the most general forms of the demand and suppy functions (Qa=D(P, P.) & Qs=S(P)),to demonstrate that you do not need to know the exact functions. Show that your predictions forequilibrium price will be correct as long as demand for gasoline slopes down, and supply slopes up,assuming electric charge is a substitute good for gasoline.C.Use calculus to show that your prediction for equilibrium quantity holds under the same assumptionsneeded in the previous part.d. As a follow-up, the governor's office asks how the slope of the market supply curve will matter for howlarge the response of gasoline price is to the decreased price of electricity at charging stations. Give ananswer to this question using the formula you derived in part (b). Also draw a diagram that illustratesgraphically how the slope of supply affects the response of equilibrium price (and quantity) to adecrease in electricity price.e. Suppose your best estimate for the demand curve for gasoline is given by Qa = a + bP + cPo, where a,b, and c represent numerical constants (i.e., parameters), with b<0 and a and c positive. The governor'soffice asks you for a prediction about the percentage increase in Qa if price of gasoline increases by 1%(or a small amount). Derive a formula for the price elasticity of demand. Assuming you have numericalestimates for the parameters of the demand function, what additional information does the governor'soffice need to specify, in order for you to be able to provide a numerical answer the question?f.Use your formula for price elasticity to explain what happens to the price elasticity of demand forgasoline as you move down the (linear) demand curve.Gas prices fell early in the pandemic, when the state imposed travel restrictions, such as rulespreventing people from traveling across state borders. The governor's office asks you to explain why thishappened to the price. Assume that with travel restrictions, the market demand curve for gasoline isgiven by Qd = a + bP + cP, + dR, where a higher value of R means greater restriction on travel (innormal times without restrictions R is zero). What do you expect to be the sign of the parameter d? Usea demand and supply diagram to show the impact on the equilibrium in the market for gasoline, when Rgoes from zero to some positive amount.g.
