Given below are the demand and supply functions for three interdependent commodities. Qd1 = 110 – 4P1 + 3P2 – 4P3 ; Qs1 = 2P1 – 20 Qd2 = 46 + 2P1 – 4P2 + 4P3 ; Qs2 = –14 + 2P2 Qd3 = 20 – P1 + 4P2 – 2P3 ; Qs3 = 2P3 – 10 Determine the equilibrium prices and quantities for the three commodity Market model. Then compute the price and cross elasticities of demand for the third market and interpret their coefficients.

Given the demand nda supply functions for three inter-dependent commodities QD1 = 45-2P1 + 2P2 -2P3 QD2 = 16+2P1+P2+2P3 QD3 = 30- P1+2P2-P3 and QS1 = -5+2P1 QS2 = -4 + 2P2 QS3 = -5 + P3 respectively. Find the equilibrium prices and quantities of this three - commodity market model.
Given the demand and supply function for three inter-dependent commodities QD1 = 45−2P1+2P2−2P3 QD2 = 16+2P1−P2+2P3 QD3 = 30−P1+2P2−P3 and QS1 = −5+2P1 QS2 = −4+2P2 QS3 = −5+P3 respectively. Find the equilibrium prices and quantities of this three-commodity market model.
In a Mixed Specific Factors model with two sectors, Cars (C) and Wheat (W), Capital (K) is specific to C and Land (A) is specific to W. If the government imposes a tariff on the imports of W then Both owners of K and owners of A will benefit. Owners of A will benefit. Owners of K will benefit. Neither owners of K nor owners of A will benefit.
Question 1: Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls Excel. Both can be produced at zero marginal cost. There are two types of consumers for these products, who exist in roughly equal proportions in the population: authors, who are willing to pay $120 for Word and $40 for Excel, and economists, who are willing to pay $50 for Word and$150 for Excel. a. Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell Word and Excel separately. What price should Microsoft set for Word? (Hint: Is it better to sell only to authors, or to try to sell to both authors and economists?)What price should Microsoft set for Excel?What will Microsoft’s profit be from a representative group of one author and one economist?b. Suppose that Microsoft decides to bundle together Word and Excel in a package called Office, and not offer them individually. What price should Microsoft set for the package?How much profit will Microsoft generate from a representative…
Consider an international economy consisting of home and foreign coun- tries. There are two factors: capital (K) and labor (L) and two goods: clothing (C) and food (F): The two countries share the same constant re- turns to scale production functions. Representative consumers of the two countries share the same homothetic welfare functions with usual proper- ties. Assume that at autarky both countries produce both goods. All the prices are in terms of units of food. Thus, the price of food is 1: The home country is labor abundant: Here, L and K are home endowments of labor and capital and Land Kare foreign endowments of labor and capital. Assume that food industry is capital intensive and clothing industry is labor intensive. All markets are competitive. (a) Define the following terms: Home country is labor abundant. (b) Draw the relative supply curves of home and foreign countries and the common relative demand curve. Use PC/PF in the vertical axis and QC/QF in the horizontal…
Summarize the characteristics for each market structure and compare the outcomes in terms of: equilibrium price; equilibrium quantity; economic profit potential (include the distinction between accounting and economic profit); and efficiency. Summarize how international trade would affect industries in the different market structures (i.e., Would receptiveness to trade likely shift one industry from one market structure to another?). Be sure to integrate concepts, terms, and theories from the readings and module content.
Two countries, A and B, that differ in their opportunity costs for the goods each one of them produces have decided to engage in trade. There is A. a unique trading ratio of these two goods that will benefit both countries. B. a unique trading ratio at which Country A will have gains from trade, but Country B will not. C. a range of trading ratios that lies between the opportunity costs of each good for both countries at which both countries will benefit from trade. D. a unique trading ratio at which Country B will have gains from trade, but Country A will not. E. a range of trading ratios that provides gains from trade only to Country A.
What are the values of P1,P2,Q1,Q2 given the two commodity demand and supply model: Qd1=18−3P1+P2 Qs1=−2+4P1 Qd2=12+P1−2P2 Qs2=−2+3P2
market clearing condition would mean that the market demand equals to market supply for a particular good and for a walrasian equilibrium the consumers are maximizing utility and market clearing conditions are met. Where is the utility maximizing bundles for good x and y for a consumer?
See pictures below... So, given the summary table of the two different market structures, you can infer that, in general, the price is lower under a _________, and the quantity is lower under a ______________.
Given the following demand and supply functions for two competing products. Qd1 =82 – 3p1 + p2; Qs1 = 15p1 – 5; Qd2 = 92 + 2p1 – 4p2; Qs2 = 32p2 - 6 Determine whether there are prices which bring the supply and demand levels into equilibrium for the two products. If so, what are the equilibrium quantities?
A Gain from Trade occurs when a unit is sold for a price greater than the unit of the good is worth to a seller and, simultaneously, bought for a price less than the good is worth to a buyer. Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit. If the first 2 units of the…
