Q10): Consider the market for a natural resource, where the price is initially $12,000 per tonand 6,000 tons are supplied.Suppose the price of the resource falls to $10,000 per ton, at which price the market supplies 4,000tons.What is the price elasticity of supply between these prices? Also, determine whether the supply iselastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? Justify your answer.

To find the price elasticity of supply between the two prices and determine whether the supply is…

PRICE (Dollars per unit) 360 180 38: 0 10 Between Y and Z True W False X QUANTITY (Units) 80 For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and 90 Z Supply True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes more elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to further increase production.

The short run price elasticity for electricity consumption is -0.20. If the current price of electricity in central Ohio is $0.10 per Kilowatt hour (delivered to your home), and the typical homeowner uses 900 Kilowatt hours per month, what will happen to consumption of electricity for the typical homeowner if price falls by $0.02 per Kilowatt hour?

We obtain the following demand curve of beef in a market: Q = 44506.941 - 3338.553 ln(P), where Q is quantity demanded of beef measured in pounds, P is price measured in dollars per pound. We know the average of P is 8.781 and the average of Q is 13016.956. Based on this information, if the price increases by 1 dollar, the quantity demanded decreases by ____%. the answer is 2.921, I need the step by step solution to get the answer

The government wants to raise 25,000 dollars in revenue by imposing ad valorem taxes (t_x and t_y) on two goods, called X and Y. Assume each good has a perfectly elastic supply. The demand for good X is given by Qx = 7500 - 6Px and the demand for good Y is given by Qy = 2000 - 8Py. Suppose the suppliers of Good X require $40/unit and the suppliers of good Y require $25/unit. How should the government set the tax rates to minimize the excess burden of raising the desired revenue?

You are the Economic Consultant for Zuku Farms Ghana Limited. Zuku produces cowpea in a community where producers are able to switch back and forth between cowpea and groundnut depending on market conditions. Consequently, you were tasked by the management of Zuku and you estimated the demand function for cowpea as follows: where is the quantity of cowpea demanded in bags per month, is the average price of cowpea in Ghana Cedis, is the average price of groundnut in Ghana Cedis, and Y is the income of consumers. Assuming is initially GH¢31.00 per bag, Y is GH¢1001.50. Also that your estimated supply function for cowpea is as follows: QS = -25 + 3.5PC -1.5Pf – 0.5Pg + 0.25R Where Qs is the quantity supplied of cowpea in bags, Pc and Pg are as defined above, Pf is the price of fertilizer per bag, R is the amount of rainfall (in inches). If Pf = GH¢10, R= 40 inches and Pg= GH¢31.00 Find the resulting supply function for cowpea and determine the equilibrium price and quantity.…
