1. Suppose that corn currently costs $4 per bushel and that wheat currently costs $3 per bushel. Also assume that the price elasticity of corn is 0.10, while the price elasticity of wheat is 0.15 Both have an income elasticity of 0.10. If the price of corn fell by 25 percent to $3 per bushel, by what percentage would the quantity demanded of corn increase? What if the price of wheat fell by 33 percent to $2 per bushel? a....

Consider the following supply and demand model derived from a
small farming town
qCD=.5I-.1PC
(1)
qCS=1.9PC+5R
(2)
Where equation (1) denotes the monthly demand for corn and
equation (2) denotes the monthly supply for corn.
(PC) is the price of corn,
(I) denotes average
consumer income, and (R) denotes average monthly days of
rainfall.
Based on the supply and demand model depicted in equations (1)
and (2):
If average monthly consumer income is 200 and average rainfall

1. The government of Cloneland faces a long-standing constitutional con- straint against levying lump-sum taxes. This is unfortunate, because everyone in Cloneland is identical. The government must raise a given revenue of R per person to pay tribute to a foreign colonial power that conquered Cloneland many centuries ago. The citizens of Cloneland consume two goods (z and r2) and they supply labour (L) to earn enough to cover their consumption purchases. The Clones all have a wage of one;...
