1. Suppose the demand for towels and supply of towels are given by the below: QD = 100 - 4P QS = P a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity using demand and supply functions above. b. Plot demand and supply curve on the same graph and point out the equilibrium quantity and price. You should draw each graph precisely with intercepts and slopes. c. Solve for the price elasticities of demand and supply at the equilibrium point. Which is more elastic: demand or supply? Simply explain why. d. Suppose there was a demand shock so that at each price 20 more towels are demanded since consumers want more. Plot the new demand curve on the graph that you derive in part (a). Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Hint: You may derive a new demand function by adding a constant to find a new equilibrium price and quantity.)
Consider public policy aimed at alcohol consumption. a) Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for alcohol is about 0.5. If a bottle of rum currently cost $22 and the Government wants to reduce alcohol consumption by 25 percent, by how much should it increase the price? b) What will be the impact of an increase in price on the revenues of the alcohol manufacturer? c) If the Government permanently increases the price of alcohol, will the policy have a larger effect on the consumption of alcohol one year from now or five years from now? d) Studies also find that teenagers have higher price elasticity than do adults. Why might this be true?
If the price elasticity of demand for a good is 8, then if the price decreased by 6 percent, what would happen to the quantity demand? Table 1 Price Quantity $100 0 $80 10 $60 20 $40 30 $20 40 $0 50
The supply of wigits is pefectly elastic and the demand for wigits has a price elasticity of 2 and an income elasticity of 1 (a) If income increases by 25 percent then the equilibrium quantity will_____(increase, decrease, not change) by_____percent and the equilibrium price will ____ (increase, decrease, not change) (b) If a 25 percent tax is imposed on wigits then the quantity consumed will_____(increase, decrease, not change) by____percent and the equilibrium price, inclusive of the tax, will increase by____ percent.
Point on Demand Curve: A B C D E F G H I Price (P): $40 $35 $30 $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 Quantity Demanded (QD): 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand between each set of points on the demand curve (i.e., between A and B, B and C, C and D, D and E, etc.) (c) explain how and why the price elasticity of demand changes as you move along this demand curve. how and why the effect of price changes on total revenue is tied to elasticity.

In an effort to curb gun violence, some US cities are implementing gun buyback programs. Localpolice departments will buy back guns from the public, no questions asked. For such programs to beeffective, what must be true about the elasticity of demand and supply? Explain your reasoning withdemand-supply diagrams.
suppose that you have the following demand and supply curve for sneakersQd 400 - 3P Qs= 200+2p a) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Calculate consumer expenditures on sneakers c) Calculate the elasticity of demand at the equilibrium found in a d) Would a 5% increase in price cause consumer expenditures to rise or fall? Explain.
