Question III by the function Qd = 252 – 4P, and the supply is perfectly inelastic such that Qs = 172, as farmers cannot change the quantity supplied of cheese in the short-run. Calculate the following: Assume that the market demand for cheese is given 1. The consumer surplus in the market for cheese. 2. The own-price elasticity of demand for cheese at the price of $40 per unit. 3. The reservation price of consumers, at the point where the elasticity of demand is equal to 0.189.
Some consumption goods tend to have price insensitive demand. An example of inelastic demand is groceries. Other goods have elastic demand. An example of elastic demand is vacation homes. If the government is interested in placing the highest tax burden on firms, which good should they tax? Groceries All of the above Vacation homes.
Suppose the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and the government imposes a tax of $2 per unit. What portion of the tax will be paid by the producer?
the demand and supply curves for a product are given as: 2q-15p=-120 q+2p = 35 Find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium Find the producer surplus at the equilibrium. Note: don't use chat gpt.
The above below represents the perfectly competitive market for pumpkins both before and after the imposition of a tax on suppliers, which is represented by the shift of the supply curve from Supply 1 to Supply 2. Price ($) 8.50 7.25 5.50 B 700 a. $7.25 b. $8.50 A 1,200 Supply 2 Supply 1 Demand Quantity of pumpkins Based on the figure above, what will be the sticker price after the tax is imposed? Note: Since the tax is paid by suppliers, it has to be included in the sticker price paid by the consumer. C. $5.50 d. None of the other options are correct
Please answer the following, a diagram and one paragraph should help support your answer. With consideration for elasticity (especially PED), what would be one industry in which the government instituting a subsidy would make sense and why? EXAMPLE: It would make sense for the government to subsidize the fashion industry because it is generally elastic in terms of PED, and it would benefit both producers and consumers due to etc.
Graphically, producer surplus is the area from the market price ($120) down to the supply curve and over to the equilibrium quantity of 120.
In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus
Demand for a good is perfectly ELASTIC while supply is regularly shaped. Suppose the government taxes the good. Which of the following statements is true: A. The tax will create deadweight loss B. The tax will NOT create deadweight loss
Suppose the following demand and supply function: Qd = 750 – 25P Qs = -300 + 20 P Find consumer and producer surplus
Suppose the market for a certain good is perfectly competitive and the demand is given by P=1000-Q and the supply is given by P=Q. The market is currently in equilibrium. What are the producer surplus and consumer surplus, respectively? $1250 and $1250 $2500 and $2500 $2500 and $1250 $1250 and $2500
For years the government has subsidized higher education through grants; consider the demand and supply for college credit hours at a local private liberal arts collegeQD = 6,000 – 300PQS = 700P – 500 where P is the price, in hundreds of dollars, and Q is the number of credit hours per semester. Suppose the government subsidizes credit hours at a rate of $120 per hour. Calculate changes in consumer surplus. What is the size of the deadweight loss?
