Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly $50.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity of demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive supply curves for oil. Let the demand curve be of the general form Q=a-bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q=c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants. The equation for the long-run demand curve is OA. Q=47.50-0.27P. OB. Q=13.50-0.27P OC. Q=47.50-P. OD. Q=47.50 +0.27P OE. Q=13.50-47.50P. The equation for the long-run competitive supply curve is OA. Q=12.00+ 47.50P. OB. Q=12.00-0.16P OC. Q=8.00+ 0.16P. OD. Q 8.00 +0.27P. OE. Q=12.00 +0.16P

The reaping, processing and sale of sugarcane is a booming sector. However, the late 1990s and early 2000s saw a crisis for sugarcane producers. During this period, the quantity supplied of sugarcane outweighed quantity demanded and the market was in turmoil. Over time the price of sugarcane recovered after 2014, peaking in July 2018. In part, this was due to farmers diversifying into other crops; in part, it was due to buoyant global demand for alternate products. In 2019, however, a combination of good harvests and a fall in fertilizer sugarcane prices caused supply to increase substantially. Although demand was still growing in developing countries, the onset of recession in developed countries was halting the growth in demand. Illustrate and explain (i) how the sugar cane market changed during the period 2014 – 2018 and (ii) what would be required to maintain the original equilibrium price.
A large share of the world supply of diamonds comes from Russia and South Africa. Suppose that the marginal cost of mining diamonds is constant at $3,000 per diamond, and the demand for diamonds is described by the following schedule: see attached If there were many suppliers of diamonds, the price would be $________per diamond and the quantity sold would be __________diamonds. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, the price would be _________per diamond and the quantity sold would be_________diamonds. Suppose Russia and South Africa form a cartel. In this case, the price would be _________________per diamond and the total quantity sold would be __________diamonds. If the countries split the market evenly, South Africa would produce_____________diamonds and earn a profit of. If South Africa increased its production by 1,000 diamonds while Russia stuck to the cartel agreement, South Africa's profit would _increase or decrease________ to. Why…
Q2 At the price of $5.50 per tonne, the annual Canada-wide supply and demand for corn are 2.4 and 2.9 kilotonnes, respectively. When the price rises to $7.30, the supply increases to 2.8 kilotonnes while the demand decreases to 2.4 kilotonnes. (Note that the units for quantities will be in kilotonnes DO NOT convert them to tonnes.) (Q2 a) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) supplied, determine the supply function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. (Q2 b) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) demanded, determine the demand function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. ( Q2 c) Find the equilibrium point and the market clearing price. Show all your work. (Q2 d) Sketch the supply and demand functions on the same graph clearly indicating the equilibrium…
The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils is
A particular metal is traded in a highly competitive world market at a world price of $11.2 per ounce. Unlimited quantities are available for import into Canada at this price. The supply of this metal from domestic Canadian producers can be represented by Qs = 322 + 52P and the demand for the metal in Canada is Qd = 2589 - 74P, where Qs and Qd are in units of million ounces and P is the price per ounce. The Canadian government plans to impose an import quota of 310 million ounces per year. What is the net domestic loss to the Canadian economy as a result of the import quota? Answer: $ __________million

An increase in technology with a simultaneous decrease in the number of buyers will cause the equilibrium price to fall and equilibrium quantity to be indeterminate. True False
Consider a large country with a domestic demand characterized by the inverse demand function P=1000-Q. Domestic supply is represented by the equation P=400+Q. Finally, the world price of the good is 900. You know that an export tariff pass-through is 10%, meaning that foreign price decreases by 10% value of an export tariff t; more generally, 10% of any change in the domestic price is absorbed by the world market. a) Draw a diagram of a free trade case, label imports, consumer and producer surplus. b) Now you want to introduce export quota restrictions g. Calculate the value of the optimal export quota q, which maximizes domestic welfare. Illustrate CS, PS, QR, and DWL on your graph. Calculate their numerical values.
