Question 1: Suppose that the demand and supply curve for wheat (measured in million bushels) in the US are given by QD(P)=3000-300P and Qs(P)=1900+200P, respectively. (a) Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of wheat. (b) Suppose that because of a bad harvest in another country, the demand for US wheat is increased by 1000 units (i.e., 1 billion bushels) independent of the price P. Determine the new equilibrium price and quantity.

The demand and supply functions for good x and good y are given as: Q = 145-2Px + Py Q& = -45 + Px Q = 30 + Px - 2Py Q5 = -40 + 5Py where QP, Q, and P₁ denote the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and price of good i = x and y, respectively. (a) Determine the equilibrium price and quantity for good x and good y. (b) Are these goods substitutes or complements? Justify your answer.

Retailers will buy 45 Wi-Fi routers from a wholesaler if the price is $10 each but only 20 if the price is $85. The wholesaler will supply 56 routers at $46 each and 70 at $50 each. Assuming that the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point. (q, p)

Question 3: Suppose the demand for new and old apartments (together) is given by QD(P)=200- 0.1P. The supply curve for old apartments is Qs (P)=30+0.03P. The supply curve for newly built apartments is QsN(P)=20+0.02P. (a) Determine the equilibrium price P, and how many apartments are built. (b) Now suppose that the city government decides to control rents. That is, no landlord is allowed to ask for a rent that exceeds 600 Dollars. How many new apartments are being built now? Suppose that everyone who cannot find an apartment leaves the city. How many people will leave? (c) Now suppose that instead of rent control, the government chooses to subsidize the building of new apartments. That is, the government pays 400 Dollars to landlords of any newly built apartments. Thus, the supply of new apartment is now given by 20+0.02(P+400). Determine the new equilibrium price P. Determine how many new apartments are built now and compute the total subsidy paid by the city government
A recent hot issue in Ghana is energy. Suppose the demand for energy is described by Q=50-0.5P and the supply of energy by Q=P-10.(a) Graph the supply and demand curves carefully. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of energy.(b) Some lawmakers decide that the problem with Ghana is that the price of energy is too high. They propose a bill that would set a price limit of $30 per unit of energy. If enacted, what will be the effect of this law on the quantity of energy supplied and demanded? Is the market on equilibrium? Explain. If not, calculate the shortage/surplus that results.(c) Other lawmakers decide that energy prices are too low and are considering a tax on energy to encourage conservation. What will be the effect on equilibrium price and quantity of a $20 per unit tax on energy, if the tax is collected from suppliers? Show this on the original supply and demand diagram as well.(d) Using the results from part (c) calculate the economic price incidence for suppliers and…
Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by: QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. (b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.] [5]
According to the reading "Gasoline Consumption in the US and Norway", the estimate for the long- run price elasticity of demand was Ed=1.44. We also know that there is better access to public transportation in Norway than in the US. So, this estimate likely the true long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline. In other words, if the public transit system in Norway was the same as in the US, a 1% increase in the price of gas would reduce the quantity demanded in the long-run by. than 1.44%. (Fill in the blanks.) O Overstates, more. Overstates, less. Overstates, more. O Understates, less.
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
Question 35 Sweetland is a small country that imports cars from the world market at a price of $25,000. The country has an auto parts manufacturing industry that can meet the demand for auto parts by domestic car manufacturers. (The domestic cars are perfect substitutes for imported cars). Each car production requires auto parts worth $20,000. The government of Sweetland imposes a 25% tariff on imported cars so that domestic car manufacturers can now charge up to $31,250 for a car. 1. Define in words the effective rate of protection. What is the effective rate of protection for domestic car manufacturers? 2. Now suppose that to encourage domestic auto parts industry, government imposes a 25% tariff on auto parts, but no tariff on imported cars. 1. What is the effective rate of protection for domestic car manufacturers? 2. What is the nominal rate of protection for the domestic auto parts industry? Show all your work.
13) If the demand for a good is given by: Q = 3Pt-1-13 Where Q is quantity andP is the price of the commodity. The price is flexible to ensure that the market always clears. QP = 52 - 2Pt a) What is the long term equilibrium price and quantity? b) What is the time path of price c) Suppose now due to a temporal disturbance I the neighboring country, government export 10 units of the commodity, effectively reducing the quantity available on the domestic ,market by 10 What will be the price of the commodity in this initial period? How much output will be produced next year and what will be selling price? i. ii. iii. 3/4 Will the price converge to its long run equilibrium after this disturbance?
