Your instructor gives you two equations: 1) Q = 40 + 2P and 2) Q = 100 – 4P. What types of curves are #1 & #2? Both are supply curves Both are demand curves Equation #1 is the demand curve whereas equation #2 is the supply curve Equation #1 is the supply curve whereas equation #2 is the demand curve
Consider a market that can be represented by a linear demand curve, QD = 200 – 2PD, (where QD is the quantity demanded and PD is the price that demanders pay) and a linear supply curve that QS = ½ PS (where QS is the quantity supplied and PS is the price that suppliers get). a. What is the equilibrium price? b. What is the equilibrium quantity? c. What is demand elasticity at the equilibrium point?
Please discuss this statement: “a drought around the world raises the total revenue that farmers receive from the sale of grain, but a drought only in Queensland reduces the total revenue that Queensland farmers receive”. Explain the characteristics of demand and supply that determine changes in total revenue, considering different time periods.
a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…
The sugar market has a supply curve with formula: Ps= 5 + 0.1Qs, and demand curve: Pd = 68-0.32Qd Approximately what is the equilibrium quantity for sugar? 150 130 142 9 126

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.

Assume that the market for soap in Cintra is perfectly competitive. Demand is downward sloping and supply is upward sloping. All consumers and firms are identical. a) The government introduces a requirement that firms must make soap from biodegradable material only. Firms now need to use more costly ingredients to produce soap. What is the predicted impact of this restriction on market price and quantity in the Cintra soap market? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a diagram. b) Data from the 2021 flu season shows a decrease in both market price and market quantity in the Cintra soap market. Over this same period, the price of hand sanitizer fell. Claim: The change in the price of hand sanitizer could explain the changes in the soap market. Agree, Disagree or It depends? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a diagram.. c) Flu season has started. More…
