The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.

The U.S. government has subsidized ethanol production since 1978. With the advent of affordable electric cars, policymakers are considering whether to allow the subsidy to expire. The accompanying graph represents the market for ethanol. Move the supply and/or demand curves to show how reducing the subsidy will affect the ethanol market. Equilibrium price? may increase or decrease, but it is impossible to know for sure. decreases. remains constant. increases.
Subject: Economics 1.) The demand equation for the Drake GPS Navigator is x + 4p − 1070 = 0, where x is the quantity demanded per week and p is the wholesale unit price in dollars. The supply equation x − 19p + 1000 = 0, where x is the quantity, the supplier will make available in the market each week when the wholesale price is p dollars each. Find the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price for the GPS Navigators. (a) equilibrium quantity= units(b) equilibrium price $=
The value of a price-distorting subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is $100 per month. This means that the person choosing to live in an apartment of that size would have to pay an extra $100 per month at the market rent. Then it follows that: A.that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month. B.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month. C.that person would be better off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month, or that person would be just as well off if she received a cash subsidy of less than $100 per month D.that person would be worse off if she received a cash subsidy of $100 per month.
(a) The demand for petroleum is given by QD=85 − 0.4? where Q Dis the quantity demanded in thousands of barrels per day and P is the price per barrel in dollars. The supply of petroleum is given by QS=55+0.6?. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. (b) In the context of the problem in part (a), calculate the demand and supply for petroleum if the market price is $15 per barrel. What problem exists in the economy.
A rent-a-car company currently rents their cars out at the market price of £50 per day, with renters paying for their petrol. the manager learns that economists expect petrol prices to rise dramatically over the next year. Using demand and supply analysis, illustrate and explain what the manager should expect to the price of the cars her company rents? Clearly identify the new equilibrium price and quantity for both petrol and Enterprise rent-a-car cars.
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive. 7. Steel is a substitute for lumber in construction. Now suppose the price for steel rises. Use a graph of supply and demand to show what happens in equilibrium. Show changes relative to the original equilibrium you found. 8. back to the orginial graph once more, the government introduces a subsidy of s=5 per unit of lumber transacted in the market. Calculate the new equilibrium quantity and the price paid by consumers and received by producers.9. Given the subsidy in 8, calculate and illustrate in a graph the consumer surplus, producer surplus and subsidy expenditure.10. Calculate the deadweight loss caused by the subsidy in 8 and illustrate it in a graph. 11. Who benefits more from the subsidy, consumers or producers? Why?

The city of Chambana has a large number of video poker arcades. The demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. • What is the equilibrium number (quantity) of games played? • What is the equilibrium price? • Draw a diagram depicting the equilibrium in this market. Continue your analysis of the video poker market in Chambana: demand by patrons for the games (in thousands per week) is Qd = 180 - 4P and the supply is Qs = 2P - 30 where P is the price in cents charged to play a game. Now suppose that the city of Chambana passes a new law which requires that all video poker arcades contribute m cents to a city charitable fund for each game played on their machines. This is, essentially, an excise tax. In a new diagram, show the effect of the new law on the market and explain this effect.
