What would be the effect of ANVWR production on the world price of oil given that E = - 0.30, n= 0.40, the pre-ANWR daily world production of oil is Q, = 82 million barrels per day, the pre-ANWR world price is p, = $100 per barrel, and daily
ANWR production would be 0.8 million barrels per day? For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear and that the introduction of ANWR oil would cause a parallel shift in the world supply curve to the right by 0.8 million
barrels per day.
Determine the long-run linear demand function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price.
The long-run demand function is
Q= 106.6 - 0.246p .
Determine the long-run linear supply function that is consistent with pre-ANWR world output and price.
The long-run supply function is
Q = 49.2 +0.328p
Determine the post-ANWR long-run linear supply function.
The long-run supply function with ANWR oil production is
Q = 50 + 0.328p.
Use the demand curve and the post-ANWR supply function to…
Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly
$90.00 per barrel and that the world demand and
total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per
year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr
and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have
shown that the long-run price elasticity of
demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run
competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40.
Using this information, derive linear demand and
competitive supply curves for oil.
Let the demand curve be of the general form
Q=a-bP
and the competitive supply curve be of the
general form
Q=c+dP,
where a, b, c, and d are constants.
The equation for the long-run demand curve is
A.Q=47.50-0.15P.
B.Q=13.50-47.50P.
C.Q=47.50-P.
D.Q=47.50+0.15P.
E.Q=13.50-0.15P.

- Consider a hypothetical world consisting of only three countries: Hungary, Australia, and Italy. Each country produces grain. Hungary is a small economy compared to Australia and Italy and thus cannot influence foreign prices. On the following graph, the supply and demand schedules of Hungary are shown as Sun and Dun. Foreign supply schedules of grain are perfectly elastic: Australia is a more efficient supplier of grain than Italy because its supply price is $1.00 per bushel (SAus), whereas Italy's supply price is $2.00 per bushel (Sita).
