Assume Home and Foreign countries both produce the same good. a. Home's demand curve is D = 1250-5OP, where D is quantity demanded and P is the competitive price. Home's competitive supply curve is given by MC = 4 + S/100, where S is quantity-supplied. Assuming P = MC and D=S, solve for Home's equilibrium price and quantity. b. Solve P when S=0 and when D=0 in order to find the vertical intercepts, and draw the supply and demand diagram. Solve for both consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. Foreign's demand curve is also D* = 1250-50P*, but Foreign's supply curve is given by MC* = 1 + S*/100. Assuming P* = MC* and D*=S*, solve for Foreign's equilibrium price and quantity. Draw the supply and demand diagram for Foreign, and solve for Foreign's consumer surplus and producer surplus.

a) Draw a standard S & D graph for a competitive market. It will be the basis for a series of competitive market questions. b) Below, redraw your graph from (a). (It does not need to be a perfect copy. Just make it close.) View your D curve as domestic demand and your S curve as domestic supply. Highlight/shade the equilibrium levels of price, quantity, CS and PS. c) Below, redraw your graph from (a) and view your D and S curves as domestic demand and supply, respectively. Add to this graph a second supply curve SF representing foreign supply into this market. Draw the total supply curve and identify the new competitive equilibrium. Compared to the purely domestic setting in (b): Is the new equilibrium price higher or lower? Is the new equilibrium quantity higher or lower?Is the new level of domestic supply higher or lower? d) Below, redraw your graph from (a). Suppose the government decides to subsidize the suppliers by directly giving producers a…
Home has 12,000 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 100, while in banana production is 75. There is now also another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 18,000. Foreign’s unit labor requirement in apple production is 120, while in banana production is 150. Graph the relative demand curve along with the relative supply curve of banana. (Q_A^D)/(Q_B^D )=1/2*p_b/p_a ↔1/( (Q_B^D)/(Q_A^D ))=1/2*p_b/p_a Assume: Demand for apples/ demand for bananas =half of price of bananas/ price of apples What is the equilibrium relative price of banana?
Consider a city with the following characteristics: i. Price elasticity of city’s output (export good) is -3.0. ii. The elasticity of labor supply with respect to environmental quality is 0.10. iii. If output changes by x% labor demand changes by x%. Suppose that the city adopts a new environmental policy that increases the city’s environmental quality by 10% and increases the price of the city’s export good by 2%. a. By what percentage will the demand for labor change (shift)? b. By what percentage will the supply for labor change (shift)? c. Under what conditions (what values of the relevant elasticities) will the equilibrium number of workers increase? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Consider a small economy with a demand for a good that is q=100-4p and a supply that is q=-10+p. The world price of this good is 20. The autarky equilibrium price and quantity are: Assume no trade. Total surplus is: Assume free trade. The new price, quantity supply and quantity demanded are
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?
Explain and discuss the role of imports in an open competitive market. In you answer cover the followings: a) In what circumstances the market may have a necessity to import a particular good? Explain your answer using appropriate graph. b) How does a tariff on import affect the market and what problems does this kind of intervention create?Explain you answer using appropriate graph.
Consider a competitive market in which we can analyze the market using our standard demand and supply framework (i.e., downward sloping demand, upward sloping supply, and the market price adjusts to keep the market in equilibrium). If the producers in this market all got an improvement in technology that lowered their marginal cost of producing any given level of output, then we would expect to see Group of answer choices a) an increase in supply (rightward shift). b) a decrease in demand (leftward shift). c) a decrease in supply (leftward shift). d) an increase in demand (rightward shift). e) no shift in either the supply curve or the demand curve.
With the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same. As a result, what can we expect in the market for rice, used by many as a staple instead of wheat? a) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will decrease b) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will increase c) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will increase d) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will decrease

Here is the rest of the question, thank you There is a range of prices, Pc/Ps in which Home and Foreign will specialize? Show this range in your graph. Call it range E. What levels of Pc/Ps would these countries not produce any coffee at? Label this range H in the graph. Why? Add a relative demand curve to your diagram if Dc/Ds= 1/[Pc/Ps]. That is the relative demand of coffee is the inverse of the relative price of coffee. Label the demand curve you derive RD. Does the equilibrium of RD and RS produce gains from trade for both countries, Home and Foreign? Explain.
Suppose that, as part of an international trade agreement, the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee. Will this affect the supply or the demand for coffee? Why?
I can seem to figure out the last two questions I bolded: Why does the demand curve slope downward? Why does the supply curve slope upward? Given the demand and supply schedules below: Price (dollars per CD) Quantity Demanded (per day) Quantity Supplied (per day) 5.00 300 100 6.00 250 150 7.00 200 200 8.00 150 250 9.00 100 300 What is the market equilibrium? If the price of CD is $6.00, describe the situation in the CD market. Explain how market equilibrium is restored. A rise in incomes increases the quantity of CDs demanded by 100 a day at each price. What is the new equilibrium and how does the market adjust? A rise in the number of recording studios increases the quantity of CDs supplied by 75 a day at each price. People download more music from the Internet and the quantity demanded of CDs decreases by 25 a day at each price. With no change in incomes, what is the new equilibrium and how does the market adjust?
