Suppose the estimated supply function for avocados is given by QS = 48 + 15p – 10pf , where pf is the price of fertilizer. The estimated demand for avocados is given by Qd = 233 - 40p + 5pt , where pt is the price of tomatoes per pound. Solve for the initial equilibrium price and quantity of avocados if the price of fertilizer, pf ,is equal to $0.35 per lb. and price of tomatoes, pt, is equal to $0.80 per lb. Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of avocados if the price of fertilizer, pf , increases to $0.90 per lb. and price of tomatoes, pt, remains $0.80 per lb. Use these equilibrium values from parts a. and b. to solve for the price elasticity of demand for avocados. Given your calculations, are avocados elastic, inelastic or unit-elastic? Have total expenditures on avocados increased, decreased, or not changed as a result of the change in the price of fertilizer?

Consider an economy with a single consumer whose preferences are given by U = log(x) - , where x is consumption and labor supply. Assume that the consumption good is produced using labor alone with a constant-returns-to-scale technology. Units of measurement are chosen so that the producer prices of both the consumption good and the wage rate are equal to 1. a. Let the consumer’s budget constraint be qx = , where the consumer price is q = 1 + t, and t is the commodity tax. By maximizing utility, find the demand function and the labor supply function. b. Assume the revenue requirement of the government is 1 10 of a unit of labor. Draw the production possibilities for the economy and the consumer’s offer curve. c. By using the offer curve and the production possibilities, show that the optimal allocation with commodity taxation has x = 9/10 and = 1. d. Calculate the optimal commodity tax. e. By deriving the first-best allocation, show that the commodity…
