S6. Consider a simplified model in which everyone gets electricity either from solar power or from fossil fuels, which are both in relatively inelastic supply. (In the case of solar power, think of the required equipment as being in inelastic supply.) The upfront costs of using solar energy are high, so when the price of fossil fuels is low (that is, when few people are using fossil fuels and there is a high demand for solar equipment), the cost of solar can be prohibitive. In contrast, when many individuals are using fossil fuels, the demand for them (and thus the price) is high, whereas the demand (and thus the price) for solar energy is relatively lower. Assume the payoff table for the two types of energy consumers to be as follows:

Suppose the demand for Apples is given by QA = 100 -4 PA and the current market price is 11. What is the compensating variation associated with a loss of access to the apple market at the initial price of 117 Assume demand remains constant What is the compensating variation associated with the increase in price from 11 to 227 Assume demand remains constant.
A manufacturer of automobiles is planning a new model and wants to determine the responsiveness of demand in a number of scenarios. The demand function for the new model is given by the following function: Q = 30000 – 3P + 2000ln(PA) + Y Where Q is the quantity sold of the new model, P is the price for the new model, PA is the price of the competitor’s model and Y is the annual income of a typical purchaser. The new model price is planned to be £20,000 and the competitor is charging £25,000. The annual income of a typical purchaser is £30,000. (a) The manufacturer wishes to determine the responsiveness of the demand for the new model if the price of a competitor’s model changes. Which measure of elasticity would be appropriate to fulfil this requirement? And provide a calculation of its value.

Ali Receives Utility From (D)omestic Vaccines from Kayseri, and the Sinovac Vaccine-(F)oreign. The utility structure is U(D,F)=D x F. The price of the foreign vaccine because of increasing returns to scale is $200, whereas at its earlier stages, the domestic vaccine is produced at a higher cost, and higher price of $250. The government has given each and every citizen a fixed payment of $8000 to spend just on vaccines, but it has not specified which vaccines. a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless. b- Find Ali's Utility Maximizing Level of Domestic and Foreign Vaccines when he uses just the government allowance on vaccines? What is his utility level? C- Suppose the government wants to decrease Turkey's health exports. It pushes a vaccine subsidy, just for domestic vaccines that makes the price of domestic equal to $160. How does the utility…

A stadium can seat 60,000 people. Assume 35% of seats are not occupied (not for sale) because of Covid-19 and social distancing requirements. You are told that the current price of tickets is $70 and that the demand is linear and that the demand function (Qd) = 60,000 - 250P. examine the market for tickets for games at the stadium during these Covid times. You should Illustrate themarket for tickets using a demand and supply diagram. Show all your calculations and properly label the diagram. At $70 a ticket the cap on the number of seats available (because of Covid restrictions) is creating a shortage. How many people miss out on tickets when they are priced at $70 per ticket?
. The monthly demand for trotro rides in Kumasi, Ashanti depends on the price of a taxi ride, the price of a trotro ride, and the average monthly income of riders. Some consumers might choose to ride the taxi instead of the trotro, while other riders might use both forms of transportation to get to their final destination. The demand function for trotro rides is: Qd = 9,750 – 500P + 250Pj + 5INCOME, where Qd is the number of trotro rides demanded per month, P is the price of a ride, Pj is the price of a taxi ride, and INCOME is the average monthly income of riders. Suppose that P = $1.50, Pj = $4, and INCOME = $3,000. What is the monthly quantity of trotro rides demanded? What is the value of the cross-price elasticity of demand? Based on your answer, are taxi rides and trotro rides substitutes or complements? What is the value of the income elasticity of demand? Based on your answer, are taxi rides an inferior or a normal good?
When the covid-19 shock started in early 2020, supermarkets quickly ran out of toilet paper as panic buying took place and its price remained the same. In that case demand was higher as compare to supply and by the time goods was disappear from the market?
The demand curve shows how energy use spikes at times of the day that do not align with peak alternative energy production. Pick two potential solutions and explain how they address the demand curve problem in 1-2 sentences for each example:
