Suppose Lou's demand for good X is given by XL =74 - P/6 and Dora's demand for good X is given by XD =129 -P/4 where x; denotes the quantity demanded by person i, i=L, D and P denotes the price of the good. Now suppose good X is not sold in stores. You have a total 34 units of good X and wish to divide between Lou and Dora. Determine the efficient allocation of this amount. Then calculate the efficiency loss of the allocation where each person gets half this amount, i.e., gets 34/2 and enter the value of the efficiency loss below.

e E L E 11- esc CENGAGE MINDTAP Chapter 07 Homework Consider the market for electric vehicles. The market price of each electric vehicle is $340,000, and each consumer demands no more than one electric vehicle. Suppose that Antonio is the only consumer in the electric vehicle market. Their willingness to pay for an electric vehicle is $595,000. Based on Antonio's willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for electric vehicles.

Which of the following statements is true for a Giffen good? (a) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; an increase in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the substitution effect will outweigh the income effect. (b) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to both the substitution and income effect and the two effects will therefore reinforce each other. (c) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the substitution effect will outweigh the income effect. (d) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the income effect will outweigh the…
Brienne starts with 10 food and 10 clothing. Jaime starts with 10 food and 20 clothing.1. Represent the initial allocation in an Edgeworth box.2. Brienne regards the two goods as 1-for-1 substitutes, while Jaime regards the two goodsas 1-for-1 complements. In your Edgeworth Box, shade the allocations that are Paretosuperior to the initial allocation.
given below sir
True/False? Briefly explain. Assume good x is a normal good. In terms of consumer behavior, a cash grant and a small (relative to the initial consumption of x) limited non-matching grant on good x (with the limit that is equal to the cash grant) are essentially equivalent.

Tom has 500 dollars to spend on two goods, good 1 and good 2. The seller of good 1 offers Tom the following deal: For every three units (of good 1) you buy, you will get the fourth unit for free. Determine how many units of good 1 Tom will end up with if the price of good 1 is 3, the price of good 2 is 8, Tom spends all his income on the two goods and buys 9 units of good 2. Then enter the value below.
Grapes and bananas are perfect complements for Jane and Betty. Jane eats one grape per three bananas.; Betty eats three grapes per one banana. Once they go to sports for hours, Jane had 20 grapes and 10 bananas and Betty had 10 grapes and 20 bananas. (assume that grapes and bananas can be divided into half) 1.Show all Pareto optimal allocations of grapes and bananas between Jane and Betty in the Edgeworth Box. Draw a bunch of indifference curves and look for tangencies.
There are only two people in the market - Amber and Zoe. Amber’s Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) for the Qth bit of the good is given by MWTP=383-2*Q. Zoe’s Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) for the Qth bit of the good is given by MWTP=51-3*Q. Based on this information, what is the market MWTP for the 32th bit of the good? Enter a number only.
John has $300 as income and he uses his income only for apples and bananas. If he uses his income only for apples, he can buy 10 pounds. If he uses his income only for bananas, he can buy 15 pounds. Which one is the correct formula for his budget constraint when X=pounds of apples, Y=pounds of bananas and the prices are per pound? a) More information is needed to answer the question. b) 15X + 10Y = 300 c) 10X + 15Y = 300 d) 20X + 30Y = 300 e) 30X + 20Y = 300
