9. Define elasticity of demand. Suppose, the demand function is Qd = 180 – 2P and supply function is Qs = 5+0.5P. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply. Calculate also consumer’s surplus and producer’s surplus. 14. Refer to question no. 9. If the government arbitrarily set the price $80, calculate fictional gain or loss of the industry. Calculate also the deadweight loss, consumer’s surplus and producer’s surplus. 15. Refer to question no. 9. If the government arbitrarily set...
Question 1 The domestic demand function for Phone X is P = 800 - 2Q and the domestic supply for Phone X is P = 200 + 1Qs . Assuming a competitive market for Phone X: (a) Calculate the equilibrium quantity (Q*) for Phone X (show ALL calculations clearly). (b) Calculate the equilibrium price (P') for Phone X (show ALL calculations clearly). (c) At what price will the domestic quantity demanded be equal to zero (i.e., the price at which...
Question 2 Suppose the demand for DVD players (good X) is given by * = 1200 - 22+ 3P– 82, +16M Are goods Y and Z substitutes or complements of good X? Is good X an inferior or a normal good? What is the quantity demanded of good X, if research shows that P,= 500, P,= 400, P=10, M=10,000? Determine the demand function and the inverse demand function for good X. Draw the demand curve. If the price level is...
Basic Microeconomics D-S Analysis: Suppose the demand and supply curves are specified as: Qa = 100-P & Q. =P -20. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? (b) Solve for producer surplus and consumer surplus at equilibrium. (c) Construct a D-S diagram depicting (a) and (b) above. (d) Suppose the government sets a price ceiling = $50. i. Solve for the surplus or shortage at this price. ii. Solve for the resulting consumer surplus and producer...
Question 1 (1 point) Suppose the market demand for a certain good is represented by the equation MWTP-490- 0.25QD, and the market supply is given by MC 40 + 2QS. Assuming the absence of market failures, the socially efficient level of output equals_units. Question 2 (1 point) Suppose market demand for a certain good is represented by MwTP-490-0.25QD and the socially efficient price equals Question 3 (1 point) Suppose market demand for a certain good is represented by MWTP 490...
Use the accompanying graph to answer these questions.
a. Suppose demand is D and supply is S0. If a price
ceiling of $6 is imposed, what are the resulting shortage and full
economic price?
Shortage:
Full economic price: $
b. Suppose demand is D and supply is S0. If a price
floor of $12 is imposed, what is the resulting surplus? What is the
cost to the government of purchasing any and all unsold
units?
Surplus: units
Cost to government: $...
