The price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But the price increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude to be turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabia have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017- 18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy Information Administration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater than production by 20 million barrels this year. In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol. Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected because crude is such a small part of their spending. Explain, using supply and demand…

You own Earthworm Excavators. Your company is the sole manufacturer of super-sized excavators that are used in the world’s largest mining operations. The U.S. has recently lifted export restrictions on the product you sell, so you can now sell your equipment in the world market along with sales in the domestic market. You hire an economist to estimate the following (inverse) demand curves per year for these distinct markets: Domestic market : Pd = $1200 - $10QdForeign market : Pf = $600 - $5Qf where P refers to prices charged in each market in thousands of dollars and Q refers to the annual quantities demanded in each market. The total costs (in thousands of dollars) of your annual operation are given by: TC = 900 + 200Q a. If you decide to offer you machines at a single price to all potential buyers, at what price will the foreign buyers be priced out of the market?b. What is the market demand function if you decide to offer the machines to all potential buyers at a single…
You are helping a friend that owns a local store. Their costs are per unit, so the only way they can maximize profits are by increasing revenue. Therefore, you would like to help identify the price that will maximize revenues. Below is data from a previous period. Complete the chart. (For the TR Test, consider that prices are increasing
Please calculate the total cost of providing a 50% subsidy on purchases of fruit and vegetables at farmers markets by SNAP participants. Assume that you are estimating it for the state of Connecticut with 350,000 SNAP participants. The season for farmers markets and the use of subsidies is 5 months (May-September); subsidies can only be used during this period. Based on prior studies, you know that a typical SNAP participant that attends farmers markets will purchase on average 3 lb of fruit and 2 lb of vegetables per month. Average price for vegetables is $1.5 per lb and the price elasticity of demand for vegetables among SNAP participants is -0.6. Similarly, fruit cost on average $2.5 per lb and the demand elasticity for fruit is -0.8. How much should the state of Connecticut expect to pay in total subsidies each season if only 20% of SNAP participants will attend farmers markets?
The following information is required for Questions 1-8:The Big Choo Choo Company (BCCC) owns a rail line from the town of "Isolated" to the coastal port of "Notso." It cost BCCC $20 million to build the rail line in 2007. It is now 2014. The Small Gold Company (SGC) has discovered gold deposits near Isolated that they want to export overseas. There are almost 20,000 ounces of gold in the mine. The current price of gold is $400 per ounce and it is expected to remain at that level over the life of the mine. (Ignore discounting, in this question.)SGC want to transport the gold to the port using the Notso-Isolated rail line. They have no alternative transportation substitutes available.Suppose that it costs BCCC $5 per ounce to transport the gold from Isolated to Notso. They have free capacity on the line. It costs SGC $10 per ounce in shipping from Notso to their overseas buyers. It will cost SGC $1 million to make the mine operational and $100 to extract each ounce of gold. BCCC and SGC…
