2. Suppose that annual demand in the U.S. market for ice cream cones can be expressed as QD = 800 + .2I - 100P, where QD is the number of cones demanded in millions of cones, I equals average monthly income in dollars, and P is price in dollars per cone. Supply can be expressed as QS = 200 + 150P (with the same units for quantity and price). A. Graph the demand and supply curves for ice cream cones, assuming that average monthly income is $2,000, and solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. B. Now assume that the average monthly income drops to $750 and supply is unchanged. Draw the new demand curve on the same graph as used in (a) above and solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. How would you describe the shift in demand intuitively?

The demand and supply curves Demand(1) and Supply(1) respectively shown in Figure 1.1 are given by the following formulae: (Note that the price is in thousands of dollars and quantity in thousands of units) For the Demand curve Demand(1), P = -0.8Q + 6 For the Supply curve Supply(1), P = 0.4Q + 2 Using the equations given, calculate the equilibrium point for the demand for and supply of the new Oxygen Ventilators. Show all calculations.
Can someone please clarify the solution below: Given information, Demand: P = 107.5-0.25Qd Supply: Qs = 3.45P + 295.55 First, let us change the demand curve in terms of P, such that: (especially at this part) Qd=(107.5-P)/0.25 Qd=430-4P Using the given and computed information, market equilibrium price would be: Qd=Qs 430-4P=3.45P+295.55 430-295.55=3.45P+4P 134.45=7.45P 134.45/7.45=P 18.04=P 18=P At the market equilibrium price of 18, equilibrium market quantity would be: Qd=430-4(P) Q=430-4(18) Q=430-72 Q=358 units

The prices of the goods are px = 2 and py = 4.The consumer has an income of I > 0.• For what values of α and β are these utility functions strictly monotone?• For what values of α and β will the consumer demand (i.e., Walrasian demand) be more x than y?• For what values of α and β are these goods gross substitutes? For what values of α and β are these goods gross complements? Provide a justification for your answer.

Do answer all questions. Thanks a) Consider two substitute goods, diesel and compressed natural gas. You are given the demand and supply function of diesel as follows Q = 4.2PC -4PD and Q = 15 + 5PD + 0.30000000000000004PC ; where PD and PC are the prices of diesel(D) and compressed natural gas(C), respectively. If the price of CNG is $6, what is the market price of diesel? b) Now, suppose government decides to regulate the price of diesel and they fix the price at $7.0, ceteris paribus, will there be a surplus or shortage? Calculate the amount of surplus/shortage. (c) Suppose that the market for diesel is not regulated anymore. If the price of CNG has increased from $6 to $11, what will be the new market price of diesel?

Suppose the government of the island has decided to give consumers a more attractive price for tomatoes by imposing a fixed, per unit subsidy. Thus, start with the original demand (Qd = 450 - 100P) and supply (Qs = 50P) and analyze this new intervention, the subsidy. The subsidy works like this: each tomato seller receives a 3-dollar refund for each kilogram of tomatoes sold. Write down the equation for the new "effective supply" curve. Determine the new equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. What is the price that the consumers will pay for their tomatoes? What is the price that the producers will effectively earn for their tomatoes, inclusive of the subsidy? How much will the government spend on tomato subsidies in this case in total? (Recall the units of measurement: P is the price in dollars per kilogram of tomatoes; and Q is the quantity of tomatoes, expressed in thousands of kilograms.) Graphically depict the new equilibrium complete with (solved) values for the new…
