As you now know, we are considering entering the tomato sauce market. We have continued our research and now better understand consumer demand for our jars of sauce as: D(p) = -3p+25 We are prepared to supply: S(p) = 2p-4 In this question, assume that the equilibrium price and quantity are given by: P∗ and Q∗ If the government provided the product at $0 as the producer, what would happen to surplus/quantity supplied?

Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. If the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. Explain how will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?
Suppose you are given the following information: Qs = 100 + 3P Qd = 400 – 2P where Qsis the quantity supplied, Qdis the quantity demanded and P is price. 1. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T) where T istaxes. If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You aresolving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers)
Suppose that the market for milk can be represented by the following equations: Demand: P = 12 – 0.5QD Supply: P = 0.1QS where P is the price per gallon, and Q represents quantity of milk, represented in millions of gallons of milk consumed per day. a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of milk. b) To help dairy farmers, the government sets a minimum price of K2.50 per gallon of milk. What is the new quantity of milk sold in the marketplace?

Based on the information in Q(a), calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity if suppliers must pay a tax of RM6 per unit. c. Consider the market for house in 2010 and 2011, the equilibrium price of house remained constant, but the equilibrium quantity of house increased. Conclude if there is any changes of the supply and demand of house between 2010 and 2011. Sketch the graph for this situation
1. Suppose that a small, tropical country produces mangoes for domestic consumption and possibly for export. The national demand and supply curves for mangoes in this country are given by the following: P = 50 - M P = 25 + M (national demand) (national supply) where P denotes the relative price of mangoes and M denotes the quantity of mangoes (in metric tons). (a) Illustrate these relationships geometrically. What is the autarky price and quantity (b) exchanged? (c) Suppose that the world price of mangoes is 45. Will this small country export mangoes? If so, how many tons?
