The following estimates have been obtained for the market demand for cereal In Q= 9.01- 0.68 In P+0.75In A-1.3M, where Q is the quantity of cereal,P is the price of cereal,A is the level of adverstising, and M is income. Based on this information,determine the effect on the consumption of cereal of : a: A 5 percent reduction in the price of cereal. b: A 4 percent increase in income. c: A 20 percent reduction in cereal advertising.

Income & Subtitution Effects, Deriving Market Demand
2. Suppose Josh's preference for pancakes and cereal are represented by U=XY. Initially he has I=20, the price of pancakes is $4/ each, and the price of cereal is $2/ bowl. His optimal consumption bundle initially is 5 cereal bowls and 2.5 pancakes. Suppose next that cereal is on sale this week, so its price drops to $1/bowl. Now Josh buys 6.7 cereals and 1.6 pancakes. His cereal consumption increased from 5 to...

Assume you're a monopolist facing market demand described by Qd: P=$90,000-Q, where P is the per unit price customers are willing and able to pay and Q is the quantity available for them to purchase. If you have constant marginal costs of MC=$18,000 (thus AVC is also $18,000) and fixed costs of $50,000,000, decide the optimal quantity you should furnish to the market, Q*, the price you'll be able to charge P*, and the level of profit you'll earn during...

In a monopolistic competitive market for blood pressure monitor, suppose the market demand function for the monitor is P=160 – 3Q, where P is the price for monitor, Q and the quantity of monitor demanded. Marginal cost of producing it is MC: P = 20 + Q, where P is the price of the monitor and Q is the quantity of the monitor sold. Use the Twice as Steep Rule, form the marginal revenue function. What are the price and...

Let the demand for coal be Q = 100 - 10P + 20Y, where P is the price of coal and Y is income. Let the supply of coal be Q = 5P + 1G, where G is the price of natural gas from coalbed methane. If G increases, what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity of coal? The price and quantity both increase. The price decreases but the quantity increases The price increases but the quantity decreases. The...
