Suppose that demand for a good increases and, at the same time, supply of the good decreases. What would happen in the market for the good? Answer A)Equilibrium price would decrease, but the impact on equilibrium quantity would be ambiguous. B)Equilibrium price would increase, but the impact on equilibrium quantity would be ambiguous. C)Equilibrium quantity would decrease, but the impact on equilibrium price would be ambiguous. D)Equilibrium quantity would increase, but the impact on equilibrium price would be ambiguous.
find the equilibrium price ratio and calculate the consumers’ demand for each of the two goods U1(x,y)=4x+2y, U2(x,y)=x+y Could you tell me why Px/Py<2, consumer will want x only? Px/Py<1 both consumers will only want x too ? Could you tell me how to find the price ratio to analysis want x only or want x,y?
Suppose the demand for fish tacos is given by the following equation: Qd 8-1P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of fish tacos, and P is the price of fish tacos. Suppose further that the supply of fish tacos is: Qs = 2 + 1P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of fish tacos. What is the equilibrium market price of fish tacos? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The demand for butter is given by 120-4pd and the supply is 2ps-30, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers. a: Draw the demand and supply functions. b: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. c: Suppose a drought strikes that shifts the supply functions to 2ps-60. The demand remains the same. Draw the new supply function, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity.
The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively. C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume. D) Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain. E) Use the demand equation in part (c) to compute price elasticity of demand between £5 and £6. Use the mid-point (arc) method.
