It is widely believed that land-use regulations, such as zoning laws that restrict real estatedevelopment, raise the marginal cost of housing, thereby reducing market supply. Jackson(2016) for example shows that increased land-use regulations reduce residential permittingby 4-8 percent. By reducing supply, land-use restrictions likely put upward pressure onhousing price; all else being equal, Zabel & Dalton (2011) find that increasing the minimumlot size required per dwelling by one acre raises house prices by about nine percent. By how much do think a nine percent increase in housing price impacts consumerwelfare? Provide a range based on the price elasticities cited above. Please show allof your work, including math and diagrams.  Given your estimates, what would consumers be WTP for to avoid a one acreincrease in the minimum lot size?
Because pumping large amounts of water is harder than pumping small amounts, the cost of producing a bottle of water rises as he pumps more. Here is the cost he incurs to produce each bottle of water: Cost of first bottle: $2 Cost of second bottle: $4 Cost of third bottle: $6 Cost of fourth bottle: $8 From this information, complete the following table by deriving Yakov's supply schedule. Price Quantity Supplied More than $8 $6 to $8 $4 to $6 $2 to $4 $2 or less Based on willingness to sell, plot his supply curve as a step function on the following graph using the orange points (square symbol). Be sure to plot your first point at (0, 0). Suppose the price of a bottle of water is $5. Use the black line (plus symbol) to draw a price line at $5. Next use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate how many bottles of water Yakov will produce and sell at that price. Finally, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade…
Normally, the people of COVID-FREE LAND demand of 3,000 sanitizers and 18,000 toilet rolls. Suddenly, there is an outbreak of COVID-19 and the demand for sanitizers and toilet rolls has increased to 4,000 and 20,000, respectively. How would COVID-FREE LAND meet its new demand. Identify and comprehensively discuss at least three possibilities or ways. State all appropriate assumptions made.
Assume, the market price of milk is R.O 1.5 per liter. At this price, the buyers and sellers are able to buy and sell whatever they want. There is no shortage or surplus of milk in the market. From this context, analyze the statements given below and choose the correct statement. a. All of the options b. The price R.O 1.5 is the market clearing price of milk c. At the price R.O 1.5, the demand and supply of milk will be equal d. The price R.O 1.5 is the equilibrium price of milk
Q1 Consider the market for orange juice. In this market, the supply curve is given by QS = 100PJ −20PO and the demand curve is given by QD = 1000−150PJ +100PC, where J denotes orange juice, O denotes Orange, and C denotes coffee. Assume that PO = 10 and Pc = 8. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in the Orange juice market. Suppose that a poor harvest season raises the price of oranges to Po = 15 Draw a graph to illustrate your answers. Is it possible to reach a market equilibrium if the price of orange juice PJ remains unchanged? Why? How much quantity of orange juice will finally be exchanged on the market? Find the market price necessary to restore equilibrium. Deduce the equilibrium quantity of orange juice.

Identify and comprehensively discuss at least three possibilities or ways.
Suppose that the supply function for lamb in Australia is Q = 149 + 8p - 9ps, where Q is the quantity in millions of kg of lamb per year, and pand psare the prices of lamb and sheep, respectively, in Australian dollars per kg. How does the supply curve change if the price of sheep increases from AU$5 to AU$5.50 per kg? (Hint: See Solved Problem 2.1.
I would like to know just part d,e, and f. Thank you Suppose that the supply of tomato soup in a city is represented byQS = 100P – 10PT − 50where P is the price of tomato soup and PT is price of tomato needed to produce tomato soup. All prices are indollars and quantity is in liters.Assume that the current tomato price is $15.Suppose that the demand for the tomato soup is QD = 1000−60P + 0.3Iwhere P is the price of the tomato soup and I is a representative household’s income.Assume that at the equilibrium, income is $12000.a) What are the current equilibrium price and quantity of the tomato soup? Show the equilibrium on a detailedgraph.b) Suppose that income decreases to $10400. What is the new equation for the demand for tomato soup? Doesthis correspond to an increase or decrease in the demand for tomato soup? Show the effect of this event onthe equilibrium and the diagram you used in part (a)c) Start from the equilibrium in part a) and now suppose that the price of the tomato…
Green et al. (2005) estmate the supply and demand curves for Californa processod tomatoes. The supply function is: \[ \ln \left(Q_{s}\right)=0.200+0.550 \ln (p) \] whereQis the quantify of processing tomatoes in milions of tons per year andpis the price in dollars per ton. The demand function is: \[ \ln \left(Q_{d}\right)=2600-0.200 \ln (p)+0.150 \ln \left(p_{1}\right) . \] wherep1is the price of tornato paste (which is what processing tomatoes are used to produce) in dollars per ton. Supposept=$119Determine how the equilerium price and quantity of processing tomatees change if the price of tomato pasise tails by16%. If the price of tomato paste fals by18%, then the equaborium price will by 5 (Enter a numene response using a real number rounded to two decimal places)
Suppose that the demand and supply curves for good X are: QD = 75 − 1.25P and QS = −60 + 2.50P A: Algebraically solve for the market equilibrium price and quantity, neatly showing your work. B: Neatly construct a graph and plot the demand curve, carefully showing the horizontal andvertical intercepts. On the same graph, neatly plot the supply curve, showing an intercept.

4. Here are the circumstances in an apple juice market. In this market, the supply curve is QS = 10PJ - 5PA and the demand curve is QD = 100 - 15PJ + 10PT, where J is apple juice, A is apples, and T is tea. (a) If the PA price is assumed to be $ 1 and PT = $ 5, calculate the equilibrium price and quantity on the market for apple juice.
