The Reinheitsgebot is a set of laws established in the 1500s that regulate the production and sale of beer in Germany. Among its provisions, the edict set maximum prices that brewers could charge at various times of the year: During Oktoberfest, the price for one [Bavarian Liter] is not to exceed one Pfennig (Penny, Munich value). Suppose that the demand for beer is given by SQD = 6000-1600P, and the supply of beer is given by QS = -1000+2000P. Graph the supply and demand for beer.

The Reinheitsgebot is a set of laws established in the 1500s that regulate the production and sale of beer in Germany. Among its provisions, the edict set maximum prices that brewers could charge at various times of the year: During Oktoberfest, the price for one [Bavarian Liter] is not to exceed one Pfennig (Penny, Munich value). Suppose that the demand for beer is given by $QD = 6000-1600P, and the supply of beer is given by QS = -1000+2000P. %3D Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in a free market; then calculate consumer and producer surplus.

Consider the demand ftunction for processed pork in Canada, Q, = 796.00 - 37p • 20p, + 3p. + 0.002Y %3D The supply function for processed pork in Canada is: Q = 363.00 + 54p - 60ph pis the price of pork Pp is the price of beof = $4 per kg Q is the quantity of pork demanded Pe is the price of chicken = $3 per kg Y is the income of consumers = $12,500 Ph is the price of a hog = $1.50 per kg (measured in millions of kg per year) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity for pork. The equilibrium price of pork is S and the equilibrium quantity of pork is milion kg per year. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded up to two decimal places.)

b) In a hypothetical situation, Government of Pakistan wants to put a curb on cigarette smoking through economic policy: i. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.5. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs Rs.200 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 22 percent, by how much should it increase the price? ii. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking one year from now or five years from now? iii. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than adults. Why might this be true?
Question 3 Suppose the demand for a product is given by Q-100-5P, where Qp is quantity per year measured in kilogram and P is the price in AUD per kilogram. The supply curve for this product is given by Qs=4P-8. Answer the following questions and provide a graph illustration. a) Determine the equilibrium price? b) Calculate the elasticity of demand and supply at the equilibrium price. c) Determine the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price? d) Suppose that the government imposes a floor price of A$15 and promises to buy any surplus (e.g., Q³- QD) on the market. Determine the new consumer surplus, the new producer surplus, and the government expenditure of this policy e) Instead of using the floor price, now the government imposes a A$3 tax on each kg sold, determine the market price after having this tax policy. f) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and tax revenue. g) Using the concepts of demand and supply elasticity, predict which party, the…
When the Covid-19 pandemic hits, chicken sellers are likely to raise chicken prices due to rising costs. The government had to act by setting a ceiling price for the supply of chicken in the market. The original price of chicken is RM6 per kilo. At that time, it is assumed that the equilibrium quantity is 1000 chickens. But the government has set the ceiling price at RM8 only. Draw and briefly explain a curve that illustrates the situation where ceiling pricing takes place in the sale of chicken in the market.
l Fido ? 1:13 PM 100% AA ezto.mheducation.com Problem 3-5 (Algorithmic) The demand and supply for a particular commodity are given by the following two equations: Demand: P = 12 – 0.2Qd and Supply: P = 6 + 0.2Qs Where Qd and Qş are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price. Using the equilibrium condition Q = Qd, determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Equilibrium price = $0 Equilibrium quantity = O units Graph the two equations to substantiate your answer. Instructions: 1. Use the line tools Qd and Qs to draw the demand and supply curves for P = 6 and 12. 2. Use the drop line tool E to identify the equilibrium quantity and price. 15 Tools 12 Qd 9 3 10 20 30 Quantity

Milan Italy is trying to control the price of face masks, and it isn't going well. On April 26 2020, Domenico Arcuri, special commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, announced that surgical face masks must be sold at a fixed price of 50 European cents plus tax. A good mask used to cost as little as 10 European cents, but prices surged after Covid-19. The Civil Protection Department, Italy's national body that deals with emergencies, promptly discouraged entrepreneurs from importing masks, right as more masks were needed. No one was allowed to import masks and sell them to the highest bidder. Now, there is a government set price and a shortage of masks and many pharmacists have stopped selling masks. Far from learning its lesson, the Italian government has suggested it will repeat its price-fixing mistakes by setting the price of N95 masks. The results won't be any better.
Consider a mid-sized southwestern college town where the demand for liquor is described by the equation Qp = 1500 - 75P, where Qp is the the quantity of bottles of liquor per month, and P is the price (in dollars) for one bottle of liquor. The supply of liquor is described by the equation: Qs = 50P - 325 were Qs is the quantity of bottles of liquor per month. Last month, the local government repealed part of its restricting laws on the public consumption and sale of liquor. As a result of this change, the market for liquor is adjusting and the current market price is $13. (Question 8 of 8) Consider that one month after the repeal went into effect (and the market is in equilibrium), some sellers leave the liquor market. At the same time a report by state health officials about the sudden surge in the number of new alcohol poisoning among college students who are first-time drinkers, led university officials to implement harsher punishment for college students found with alcohol or…
Consider the markets for cell phones and landline telephone service in France. Presume that when the average income of residents of Lyon is 27,500€ per year, the quantity demanded of landline telephone service is 6,250 and the quantity demanded of an unlimited cell phone is 14,000. When the price of unlimited mobile service increases from 50€ to 60€ per month, the quantity demanded of landline service decreases to 5,500. Furthermore, presume that when the average income increases to 30,000€, the quantity demanded of unlimited mobile service increases to 16,500. a) According to the given information, what type of good is unlimited mobile telephone service? How do you know? Briefly explain.
