Suppose the supply curve represents the marginal cost of providing street lights in a neighbourhood that is composed of two people, Ann and Joe. The demand curve represents the marginal benefit that Ann receives from the street lights. Suppose that Joe's marginal benefit from the street lights is a constant amount equal to AC. If Ann is the only person to pay for the streetlights, how many lights will be provided? O a) F Reference: Ref 17-12 Ob) G Odo O d) E

1. In Town A there is only one newspaper, Daily Outrage. The demand for the paper depends on the price and the amount of scandal reported. The demand function is Q = 15SP-3 where Q is the number of issues sold per day, S is the number of column inches of scandal reported in the paper, and P is the price. Scandals are not a scarce commodity in town A, but it takes resources to write, edit, and print stories of scandal. The cost of reporting S units of scandal is £10S and is independent of the number of papers sold. In addition, the cost to print and deliver the paper is £0.10 per copy and is independent of the amount of scandal reported in the paper. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Explain whether the price elasticity depends on the amount of scandal reported and whether the price elasticity is constant over all prices. Comment on the price sensitivity of the readers of the Daily Outrage. (b) Calculate the profit maximising price using the formula that writes marginal…

In a town of two people, Ben and Tem (bear with me on this, okay) the city is trying to decide how many acres to devote to the public park. Ben's demand function is QA = 20 - p and Tem demand TD = 20 function is QD = 26 – 20p, where Q is measured in acres and p is measured in dollars. Acres are supplied according to the function p = 10 + 60Q. a. Calculate the Pareto efficient size of the park in acres. b. Assuming that both Ben and Tem are truthful, how much would each pay for the efficient size of the park? What would be the total amount paid by the group? c. Sketch a diagram that shows each person's demand for acres and the Pareto efficient outcome. d. Explain how the size of the park might be different if the size of the park were determined by voluntary contributions
In a market, the consumer surplus is 800,000 units and the producer surplus is 100,000. Which of the following statement is true?
