Consider the following demand equation for good a. Good a demands is a function of income (Y) and prices of good b and c. QDa(p,Y,pb,pc) = 12 − 3pa + 5Y −3pb +4pc. Pa = 2 Y=500 Pb = 3 Pc = 5 a. Calculate elasticity of demand. Does it respect law of demand? is it elastic or inelastic? Why? b. Calculate elasticity of income. Is it inferior or nomal good? Why? c. Calculate cross-price elasticities with good b. Is...

The estimated demand function (Moschini and Meilke, 1992) for
Canadian processed pork is
Q = 161 − 20p + 20pb + 3pc + 2Y,
where Q is the quantity in million kilograms (kg) of pork per
year, p is the dollar price per kg, pb is the price of beef in
Canadian dollars per kg, pc, is the price of chicken in dollars
per kg, and Y is average income in thousands of dollars. What is
the demand function if...
Part 1: Short Answer Questions (10 points each) 1) The estimated Canadian processed pork demand and supply functions are as the follow- ings: Qp = 100-3 p + 3 p + 5 + 2 Y, Os = 100 + 6 - 8 PA where Q is the quantity in million kilograms (kg) of pork per year; p is the dollar price per kg, Po is the price of beef per kg, pe is the price of chicken per kg, P,...
4. Suppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is QD - 430-01PA+01Pc-10Pa where PA and Pc are the prices of Accords and Camrys and Po is the price of gas. Assume this that year the price of an Accord and the price of a Camry are both $20,000 and the price of gas is $3 per gallon. You are to use the point formula for calculating the following elasticities. Given the prices of Accords, Camrys and gas, what...
