Let the price elasticity of demand be 1. Let the price be $100/MWh. Let consumption be 50,000MWh. Which of the following would be the demand equation for electricity?
|
Q = 500P + 1000 |
||
|
Q = 500P |
||
|
Q = 5000P - 500,000 |
||
|
None of the above. |
Homework Answers
Putting P=100, we getQ=50,100 in first option, for second we get Q=500*100=50,000 for third option we get Q=5000*100-500,000=0 Since actual consumption is 50,000 only option two fits and dQ/dP for option 2 is also 1 which is elasticity Hence, Q=5000 P is correct

1. In 2018, oil price was $71 and consumption was 100 million barrels per day on average. Assuming the price elasticity of demand was -0.20 and the price elasticity of supply was +0.25, estimate a supply equation for the 2018 oil market: 2. In 2007, the following long run demand and supply equations were estimated for the oil market: QD = 43.6–0.18P and QS = 18.4+0.18P. In 2007, the price was $70. Expanded drilling of oil in Alaska could have...

Suppose the income elasticity of demand for food is 0.5, and the price elasticity of demand is -1.0. Suppose also that Felicia spends $10,000 a year on food, and that the price of food is $2 and her income is $25,000. If a $2 sales tax on food were to cause the price of food to double, what would happen to her consumption of food? Suppose that she is given a tax rebate of $5,000 to ease the effect of...
