The long-run supply curve for a particular type of kitchen knife is a hori- zontal line at a price of $3 per knife. The demand curve for such a kitchen knife is QD = 50 – 2P where Q, is the quantity of knives demanded (in millions per year) and P is the price per knife (in dollars). a. b. What is the equilibrium output of such knives? If a tax of $1 is imposed on each knife, what is the equilibrium output of such knives? (Assume the tax is collected by the government from the suppliers of knives.)

Please discuss this statement: “a drought around the world raises the total revenue that farmers receive from the sale of grain, but a drought only in Queensland reduces the total revenue that Queensland farmers receive”. Explain the characteristics of demand and supply that determine changes in total revenue, considering different time periods.
1. It is known that the supply function for product- 2 is given by the function Qaz = 750 + 0.3P, - P2 - 0.5P3 + 0.001Y. -At this point it is known that P1 = 60, P2 = 10, P3 = 100, Y = 10,000. a. Calculate the Price Elasticity of Demand and the type of elasticity!
Question 3 Assume the ZRA decides to impose a new tax on imported vehicles priced above K200, 0 00. The new tax calls for a 15% tax on the higher-priced vehicles. However, the new tax al so causes the demand for vehicles to be cut in half from 1000 to 500 to compensate. Th is massive drop in demand has caused the supplier to cut back on supply from 1500 to 1000. Find a) The elasticity of supply and demand. b) If the tax incidence falls more on the supplier or the consumer (Calculate both the consumer and supplier tax burdens).

The market demand function for corn is Q = 30 - 2P. The market supply function is QS = 5P-2.5, both measured in billions of bushels per year. Suppose the government imposes a $8.10 tax per bushel. What will be the effects on aggregate surplus, consumer surplus, and producer surplus? What will be the deadweight loss created by the tax? Instructions: Round your quantities to the nearest whole number. Round prices, surpluses and deadweight losses to 2 decimal places. a. What are the initial equilibrium effects? Complete the table below. Initial equilibrium price Initial equilibrium quantity Initial equilibrium consumer surplus Initial equilibrium producer surplus After-tax equilibrium price After-tax equilibrium quantity After-tax equilibrium consumer surplus After-tax equilibrium producer surplus $ Government revenue After-tax equilibrium aggregate surplus Deadweight loss Before the tax Initial equilibrium aggregate surplus b. What are the effects after the government imposes a $8.10 tax…
The short-run demand and supply elasticities for crude oil are -0.076 and 0.088, respectively. The current price per barrel is $30 and the short-run equilibrium quantity is 23.84 million barrels per year. What will be the effects on the market price and quantity if the government decides to purchase (and store away) an additional 2 million barrels of oil? Assume that the additional consumption of oil by the government results in a parallel shift of the supply curve to the left by 2 million barrels per day What could be the economic rationale for buying and storing oil?
What effect would each of the following factors have on elasticity of demand for resource A, which is used to produce product Z? Due to technological change, much less of resource A is used relative to resources B and C in the production process.
The short-run demand and supply elasticities for oil are -0.076 and 0.088, respectively. The current price per barrel is $30 and the short-run equilibrium quantity is 23.84 million barrels per year. 1. Derive the linear demand and supply equations.2. What will be the effects on the market price and quantity if the government decides to purchase (and store away) an additional 2 million barrels of oil? Assume that the additional consumption of oil by the government results in a parallel shift of the supply curve to the left by 2 million barrels per day.3. What could be the economic rationale for buying and storing oil?
1. The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = -0.01x² - 0.2x + 10 where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. The supply function is given by p = 0.01x² + 0.2x + 4 where p is the unit price in dollars and x stands for the quantity that will be made available in the market by the supplier, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the producers' surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)

India produces wheat that it consumes domestically and exports to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka doesn’t produce any wheat and is totally dependent on India. The total demand of wheat is given by Q = 3244 -283P. The domestic demand of India is given by the equation Qd = 1700-107P. The total supply of wheat is given by equationQs= 1944 + 207P.(P is in Rs per Kg and Q is in lakh Kg.) a.Calculate the market price of wheat. C.Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40 percent, will the market price change? If yes, then what is the newmarketprice?
