The demand function for organic apples is given by Qd = 20 – 2P while the supply function is given by Qs = 4P – 10.a. Solve for the equilibrium P* and Q*.b. Carefully graph the D & S curves. Include all intercepts and P* and Q* (**enlarge your graph so you can better show the questions below use graphing paper**)i. Suppose that the government legislates a $1/gallon to be collected from the buyer. Identify the new equation for the demand curve. Plot the new demand curve (on the same graph as b).ii. Solve for the new equilibrium PT* and QT* and indicate on your graph. On the same graph, indicate the P that consumers pay (PC) and the P that producers get to keep (PS).c. On another graph with the original D and S curves, impose the same tax ($1/gallon) to sellers. Identify the new equation for the supply curve. Plot the new supply curve. i. Solve for the new equilibrium PT* and QT* and indicate on your graph. On thesame graph, indicate the P that consumers pay (PC) and the P that…

The remaining questions in this problem set use the model for the labor market developed in class to walk through potential explanations for this trend. 1. Assume that there are just two types of workers, low- and high-skill. As a result, there are two labor markets: supply and demand for low-skill workers and supply and demand for high-skill workers. Using two carefully drawn labor-market figures, show that an increase in the demand for high skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers. 2. Using the same assumptions as in the previous question, use two carefully drawn labor-market figures to show that an increase in the supply of low-skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers.arrow_forwardPublished in 1980, the book Free to Choose discusses how economists Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman proposed a one-sided view of the benefits of a voucher system.
