(Just question 4 and 5) Exercise 1. The demand for your product X has been estimated to be QX = 7, 880 − 4PX − 2PY + PZ − 0.1M where Y and Z are other (related) products. The relevant price and income data are as follows: PX = 10, PY = 15, PZ = 50, M = 40, 000 Which goods are substitutes for X? Which are complements Is X an inferior or a normal good How much X will be purchased? Graph the demand curve for X given the above How will the demand curve change if M falls to 35, 000? Is that in line with b?
Question 3 – 25% During the Christmas holiday season, the price of Christmas trees increases and the quantity demanded for trees also increases. Does it reflect change in quantity demanded or change in demand? Support your answer with the use of a diagram. Label your diagram with appropriate variables on X axis and Y axis.

1) Construct a linear demand function equation for a normal good. From this equation; * Create the drawing of the demand curve. * Find the slope of the demand curve that you have drawn from this equation with the help of formula and figure. 2) In your opinion, would it be enough to know only mathematics to be a good "economist"? Explain your yes or no answer to this question with the reasons.
Question 1 Suppose the market demand for pizza is given by Qd = 300 - 20P and the market supply for pizza given by Qs = 20P – 100 Graph the supply and demand for pizza using $5 through $15 as the value of P. In equilibrium, how many pizzas would be sold, and at what price? What would happen if suppliers set the price of pizza at $15? Explain the market adjustment process. Suppose the price of hamburgers, a substitute for pizza, doubles. This leads to a doubling of the demand for pizza (at each price consumers demand twice as much pizza as before). Write the equation of the new market demand for pizza. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity for pizza. If the price of Pizza is $2 what is the elasticity of demand and supply for pizza? Now if the price increases to $5 calculate the demand and supply elasticities.

B) Household income C) The price of substitute goods D) All of the above 2.Reasons for supply curves being positively sloped include: A) typically, as output rises, unit costs rise, so price must also rise. B) firms always want to raise prices to boost profits. C) the higher the demand for a good the more firms can charge. D) all of the above. 3.Inferior goods are best defined as A) goods that only those who are relatively poor purchase. B) goods that have higher-quality alternatives. C) goods whose demand falls as people's income rises. D) goods whose supply falls as people's income rises 4.An increase in supply, not caused by a change in market price, is represented by A) a move down the given supply curve. B) a move up the given supply curve. C) a rightward shift of the supply curve. D) A and C
True or False *if the answer is false, expalain it 1. In the market for gasoline, the reason that the equilibrium quantity increased was that the increase in demand was less than the decrease in supply. 2. A fall in the price of iPads would shift the demand curve for iPads to the right. 3. Percentage an increase in the price of good Y is 40% causes a decrease in the quantity demanded of the X by 20%, then good X and good Y are complements. 4. Increasing in the apple price by 40% led to an decrease in the quantity of apple demanded by 60%, then the elasticity of demand is an inelastic type. 5. A price floor set by government will increase the equilibrium price and quantity in a Market
