Consider the demand function for processed pork in Canada, Q₁ = 496-22p+20pb + 3pc +0.002Y where Q is the quantity of pork demanded (measured in millions of kg per year), p is the price of pork, P, is the price of beef, Pc is the price of chicken, and Y is the income of consumers, and the supply function for processed pork in Canada, Q₂ = 395 +39p-60ph where Q is the quantity of pork supplied (measured in millions of kg per year), p is the price of pork, and ph is the price of a hog. If the income of consumers increases, then the equilibrium quantity of pork will decrease increase remain unchanged

Suppose that pig farming in a region is a perfectly compet- itive industry. However, one negative consequence of this activity is that it creates water pollution that adversely affects the health of the residents in the nearby communities that rely on the water sources that are contaminated by the pig farms. The market supply curve for pigs (or hogs) is given by H^S = 6p where H^S is the quantity of hogs supplied to the market by farmers in this region. The market demand for hogs is given by H^P = 300 – 4p. The government estimates that the additional medical costs (M) imposed on the nearby communities is given by M = 5H, where H is the quantity of hogs produced and sold in the market. Q: In the absence of clearly defined property rights over water use or con- ventions or some form of government intervention, derive the market equilibrium for hogs and the DWL resulting from the additional medical costs associated with hog production. Please show the formula, thank you.
The coconut oil demand function (Buschena and Perloff, 1991) is Q = 1,200 - 9.5p + 16.2 pp + 0.2Y, where Q is the quantity of coconut oil demanded in thousands of metric tons per year, p is the price of coconut oil in cents per pound, Pp is the price of palm oil in cents per pound, and Y is the income of consumers. Assume that p is initially 45 ¢ per pound, Pp is 31 ¢ per pound, and Q is 1,275 thousand metric tons per year. Calculate the income elasticity of demand for coconut oil.

Suppose that the (inverse) demand equation for organic tea is P = 230 - 4Qd and the (inverse) supply curve for organic tea is P = 0.6Qs in a local market. Quantities are measured in pounds per week, and price is measured in dollars per pound of tea. Find the equilibrium quantity and price in this market. Suppose recent regulations for organic tea production, established by the Food and Drug Administration, increase the costs for producers of organic tea. Under these regulations, the new (inverse) supply curve for tea is as follows: P = 16 + 0.6Qs. Find the new market equilibrium quantity and price under these conditions. (Assume that the demand equation remains the same.) Compare the original equilibrium quantity and price to the new equilibrium quantity and price. Has price fallen or risen? Has quantity exchanged fallen or risen? Sketch a supply-and-demand graph to illustrate the market before and after the regulation goes into effect. In this example, has supply increased or…

The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = -0.01x^2 - 0.2x +10 where p is the unit price in dollars and x stands for the quantity that will be made available in the market by the supplier, measured in units of a thousand. Determiine the producer's surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price. (round answer to neareset dollar) P = 0.01x^2 + 0.4x +2
Suppose that the cost of crude oil decreases from $25 to $20 for each barrel of heating oil produced. Assuming that the rest of the determinants of supply and demand for heating oil remain equal to their initial values, the market will eventually reach a new equilibrium price of per barrel.
The demand and supply functions for a particular commodity are given by pD(q) = 16(q + 2)-1 – 3 and pS(q) = 1/3 (q + 1) respectively. Specifically, q thousand units of the commodity will be demanded (sold) by the consumers at a price of p = pD(q) per unit while q thousand units of the commodity will be supplied by the producers at a price of p = pS(q) per unit. 1. Classify the demand and supply functions in terms of monotonic increasing and monotonic decreasing, find the equilibrium price pe and quantity qe, and compute the consumer surplus at the point of equilibrium.
