Time remaining:00 :09 :39EconomicsUse the following to answer questions (29) - (31):In the town of “One Horse” there is one movie theater. Two groups of consumers, adults (A) andchildren (C), attend this theater. Suppose the demand for movies by adults is given by:QA = 50 - 0.50PA, where PAis price ofan adultmovie ticket(in cents)and QAis the numberofmovie tickets sold to adults atthe theater. Suppose the demand for movies by children is given by:QC = 20 - 0.50PC,where PCispriceofa children’s movie ticket(in cents)and QCis the numberofmovie tickets sold tochildren atthe theater. Also, imagine totalcostis fixed at$450, thus makingmarginalcostofprovidingonemore movie ticket to either an adult or a child constant at zero.[29]Ifthe movie theateris able to price discriminate amongits two groups ofconsumers, then itshouldcharge a higher price to group A.A.TrueB.False[30]Ifthemovie theateris able to price discriminate amongits two groups ofconsumers, then itsmaximum profit is closest in value…

Consider a economy with three goods, a, b and c. The total supply consists 150a, 180b and 120c. There are three consumers 1,2,3 They have the followiing preferences: u1(a,b,c)=a u2(a,b,c)=a+b u3(a,b,c)=1+c a) Identify a competitive equilibrium from euqal incomes in which the price of a and c are equal. b) Find the egalitarian equivalent allocation(EEA is one that gives each agent the same utility as giving the one a fraction x of total supply, for x as large as possible)

There are 40 people living in a village each having preference over apples andshirts represented by U(a,b) = a1/3s2/3, where a and s are amount of applesin pounds and shirts consumed, respectively. The price of a shirt is $10. Each villager has $300 income. Apples are supplied to the village by a farmer, whose supply function is S(pa) = 1000pa.Part 1What is the equilibrium price of apples? How many pounds of apples does eachvillager consume?Part 2What is the aggregate net consumer surplus at the equilibrium?Part 3What is the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium?Part b1Suppose 50 more people move in to the village. What is the equilibrium pricenow? Part b2Are consumers better or worse off now? Why? If a consumer is worse off, byhow much additional income he/she needs to be compensated in order to be aswell off as in Part a.

(b) Suppose the government wants to help the consumers by imposing a price ceiling of Pc = 4. Find the market equilibrium price, quantity, and producer surplus. (c) Suppose now the producers are complaining, and the government de- cides to keep the price ceiling policy, but at the same time, the government will give a subsidy of s per unit to the producers. What is value of s that can make the producers as well off as before imposing the price ceiling (that is, producer surplus equals to the value in part (a))?
