There are 1000 consumers in the market of good A, each has an identical demand curve for this good. The price of one unit of good A is $P. At a given price the market demand is: A. More elastic than the individual demand curve B. less elastic than the individual demand curve C. as elastic as the individual demand curve O D. depending on P, all above can happen

1. Calculate the elasticity of demand for the demand curve p = 100-2q at each of the following price and quantity levels and determine the type of elasticity: a p = 90 and q=2 b. p = 50 and q= 10 &p=5 and q = 19 2. Suppose you are given the following information: Q³= 200 + 3P Qd = 400 - P where Q is the quantity supplied, Qis the quantity demanded and P is price. From this information compute equilibrium price and quantity. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 - (2P+T) where T is taxes. IfT= 20, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers). hp
Suppose that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.20. If world gasoline supplies decrease by 10%, then the price of gasoline will increase by how much? a. 20% Ob. 10% Ⓒc. 50% O d.5%
A taco shop observes that when it increases the price of a taco, total revenue from taco sales decreases, and when they lower the price of a taco, total revenue from taco sales increases. This suggests: O the demand for tacos is inelastic. O the demand for tacos is unit elastic. there are many good substitutes for tacos. O the law of demand is being violated.
The owner of a local bakery shop observes that when he increases the price of Italian bread, his total revenue decreases, and when he lowers the price of Italian bread, his total revenue increases. This suggests that: Italian bread buyers act irrationally. the demand for Italian bread is elastic with respect to price. there are few good substitutes for Italian bread. O the demand for Italian bread is inelastic with respect to price.
