You are the producer of computer components. There are two markets – foreign and domestic – with elasticity of demands that are E = 4 and E, = 2 respectively. The price in the domestic market is $12 per unit. If you are practicing third degree price discrimination, then the price per unit in the foreign market should be: 4 8. 10
The market for soda beverages demand is QD = 90-20P and supply is QS = 30P-10. Price is measured in dollars per one-gallon bottle and quantity in millions of one-gallon bottles a) Find the equilibrium quantity and price in the market for soda and compute Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus when the market is in equilibrium. As that problem noted, sweetened beverages contribute to the over consumption of high-fructose corn syrup with negative consequences for public health. Suppose that each extra one-gallon bottle of soda sold in the market imposes a $1 external cost on state and federal governments that see Medicare and Medicaid diabetes-related expenditure increase. b) What is the total external cost that the soda beverages industry imposes on the government? Suppose that a $1 per bottle tax is imposed on sellers of soda beverages. What is the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the market for soda beverages? c) How much consumer surplus and how much producer surplus…
Rhea's inverse demand for a good is given by p= 19.00-(1.00 x q). Assuming that there are enough suppliers to meet her demand, if the per-unit price increases from p= 5.00 to p= 6.50, what is the absolute value of her change in consumer's surplus? (Round to the nearest two decimals.)
The demand function for a certain model of Blu-ray player is given by 300 p = 0.5x + 1 where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $150/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)

The local government has decided that because children's health has large external benefits, it will offer a subsidy to help familles pay for visits to the pediatrician. However, the government Isn't sure at what level to set the subsidy. The figure below shows the current demand curve for pediatricians' visits (D), and three alternative subsidies, represented by curves D2, D3, and D4. 0 Price (5) 240 220 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 D 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 Quantity of pediatrician visits Tools A Da O (A) D₂ a. Assume that the correct level of subsidy is D3. Compared to the efficient outcome, graph the loss in total surplus that would result from subsidies D₂ and D4- Instructions: Use the tools provided (D₂ and Da) to draw the loss in total surplus for each subsidy b. The socially optimal level of pediatrician visits is visits,

Rhea's inverse demand for a good is given by p = 26.00 (1.00 × q). Assuming that there are enough suppliers to meet her demand, if the per-unit price increases from p = 4.00 to p = 8.00, what is the absolute value of her change in consumer's surplus? (Round to the nearest two decimals.)
Demand for apartments in town is D (x) =860 – 3x, and the supply is S (x) =500+9x, %3D where x is the number of apartments, in hundreds, and D (x) and S(x) are the rent in dollars per month, per apartment. The equilibrium point is (30, 770). Suppose a maximum rent of $644 per month is imposed by the town council. Find the deadweight loss. $ 1176 $ 1152 $ 16 $ 3072
