QUESTION 3 Ceteris paribus, assuming at the same time as the demand for electric car was increasing the federal government of Malaysia imposed a tax on electric car suppliers. Use demand and supply analysis to graphically represent and explain the impact on price and quantity in the market for electric cars in Malaysia. (HINT: there is more than one outcome to the changes in price and quantity).

Discuss how may the concept of elasticities affect our country’s preference for commercial spaces and malls versus public parks and playgrounds. How does this choice impact the richness of our civic lives? Answer the question using 100-150 words only.
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations: P=50 – 0.5QD QS= -20 + 2P where, P is the price in pounds, QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity? (b) What is the price elasticity at a price of £35? (c) What do you expect will happen to total expenditure on this good if the price increases from £35 to £40? Is this expectation confirmed if you calculate the total revenue for each price?
In order to reduce environmentally harmful emissions, the state of California wanted to discourage the use of large SUVS. The state found that the demand and supply schedules of SUVS were the following: Price of SUVS Quantity of SUVS Demanded Quantity of SUVS Supplied (in thousands) 450 (in thousands) $33,000 $32,000 $31,000 $30,000 $29,000 $28,000 $27,000 $26,000 $25,000 $24,000 100 400 200 350 300 300 400 250 500 200 600 150 700 100 800 50 900 d) Suppose that due changes in a combination of factors including higher gas prices, changes in consumer preferences and reduced incomes, the demand for SUVS has become more elastic since the data on demand was collected. How would this effect who bears the burden of the tax? How would it effect the amount of deadweight loss?
Dashboard for Online Pricing Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And “Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online.” Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 25 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to…

A vegetable fiber is traded in the US, has the following domestic supply and demand for various price levels as shown: Price US Supply (Million kilograms) US Demand (Million kilograms) 3 2 34 6 4 28 9 6 22 12 8 16 15 10 10 18 12 4 (a) What is the equation for demand? What is the equation for supply? (b) At a price of $9, what is the price elasticity of demand? What is it at a price of $12? (c) Do you think the product demand is elastic or inelastic at $9 and $12 respectively?
Consider the following fresh fish exports to GCCs (source: Annual Statistical Yearbook 2007) Year Price (000` RO) Quantity (Tons) 2007 1.03 7,347.8 2006 0.70 11,342.8 2005 1.08 7,902.0 Using midpoint method, compute the elasticity of demand between 2006 – 2007 and 2005 – 2006. Interpret your answers Describe two factors that affect price elasticity of demand for fish exported to GCCs. Do you think price elasticity of fish can positively inform trade policy decision makers in Oman? Why?
Suppose (the numbers are loosely based on reality) that the tax on petrol is raised from 40 cents per litre to 60 cents per litre. The before-tax total cost of retailing petrol is $1.20 per litre. Assume that 100% of the tax is always passed through to consumers. After the increase in taxes, the quantity of petrol sold falls from 3,000,000 litres a day to 2,800,000 litres a day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for petrol using the mid-point formula, based on the change in price due to the tax. Use three decimal places in your calculations. What are the implications for policymakers who want to raise revenue, when considering raising taxes on petrol?

On your graph, illustrate the effects of the excise on the market for SUVS. Include the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, the quantity sold with the tax, the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, the government revenue, and the deadweight| loss due to the tax. c) Calculate the consumer and producer…
The demand of world crude oil is described as P=200-1.2Q where P is in $ per barrel and Q is in millions of barrels per day. Recent Ukraine-Russia war pushed the oil price from $90 to $130 a barrel. Please calculate the before and after price elasticities of demand and explain the implications of the change in price elasticity of demand.
