OD) D2 to D1.
According to Hanushek & Quigley (1980), the estimated price elasticity of demand for
housing, Ed, ranges from -0.64 to -0.45.
Please interpret these elasticity estimates. Is demand elastic or inelastic? How
responsive is housing demand to changes in price?
Assume that the housing market is in equilibrium at p° = 100 and Q° = 100. Please
draw this market outcome under the separate assumptions of ɛa = -0.64 and
Ea = -0.45 (i.e., draw two separate demand curves, one of which is more price
elastic than the other). Be sure to label your graph accordingly.
The demand side of the market for Sprite is comprised of 2 people. These people are William and Owen. P represents the price of 1 gallon of Sprite, and Qd represents the quantity demanded of Sprite in gallons.
William's demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation QdW = 10 - 2P
Owen's inverse demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation P = 10 - 2QdO
(Part I) With this information, draw the market demand graph. Please label the graph for slope values, intercepts, kinks, etc.
(Part II) The market supply is modeled by P = Qs. Let's say that the government places a subsidy of $8 (s = 8). As a result, what is the market equilibrium with this intervention of the government (Q**, PD**, and PS**)?
(Part III) Please draw the market demand and market supply on a new graph and indicate/label the market equilibrium with the government intervention through a subsidy. Label the graph for slopes, subsidy, equilibrium points, etc.

- The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax?
