1. Suppose that the market demand and supply for tea is conveyed by the expressions QD = 150 - 5P and QS = 10P.
a) Determine the equilibrium in this market and represent it on a properly labeled graph.
b) Due to a drop in production costs, the market supply is now expressed by the function QS = 20P. Determine the price elasticity of demand observed between the initial and final equilibrium points when using the corresponding average values.
c) What is the precise economic meaning of the value you determined in the previous question? Also, how can you classify the demand for tea according to that value?
d) Suppose now that income grows in this economy. As a result, the new equilibrium price is observed to be Pe = 8. The market supply curve remains the same as the one described in part b). Determine the new market equilibrium and represent on a graph the changes taking place.
e) Taking as a starting point the equilibrium described in the previous question, suppose that the price of another good increases from five to nine monetary units. The market demand of tea is now observed to be QD = 120 - 5P. Determine the cross-price elasticity of demand for tea using the midpoint technique. What is the relation between the two goods in this question? Explain.
