The market demand and supply functions for hotel rooms in the City of Montreal areestimated as follows: Demand: P = 500- 0.0005 Q Supply:P = 1500+ 0.002 Q a) Determine the equilibrium price (P) and quantity exchanged (Q) of hotel rooms inthe city. Sketch the demand/supply diagram and indicate all key values. How muchis spent annually on hotel accommodations in the city? The City Council is debating a motion to introduce a hotel tax in the city of $10 perroom per night. The Mayor of the City in a recent press conference assured thehotel operators that the impact of the tax on their operations will be minimal sincethe tax is intended to be paid by tourists, who once they book, have little choiceover not paying the tax. Do you agree with the Mayor's assertion? (Calculate theimpact of the room tax on equilibrium P and Q and support your answer with soundeconomic reasoning). Which is relatively less elastic, the demand or the supply forhotel rooms?

The accompanying table shows the price and yearly quantity sold of souvenir Tshirts in the town of Silver Lake according to the average income of the tourists visiting. Price of T-shirt Quantity of T-shirts demanded when the average tourist income is $20,000 Quantity of T-shirts demanded when the average tourist income is $30,000 $43,000 5,000 $5 2,400 4,200 $6 1,600 3,000 $7 800 1,800* I a. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a T-shirt rises from $5 to $6 and the average tourist income is $20,000. Also calculate it when the average tourist income is $30,000. b. Using the midpoint method, calculate the income elasticity of demand when the price of a T-shirt is $4 and the average tourist income increases from $20,000 to $30,000. Also calculate it when the price is $7.

a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…
