Why is the demand curve with constant unitary elasticity concave?
In 2018, a cold front in Barbados increased both the demand for water heaters andgasolines. The usage of gasoline was 581 tonnes, an increase from 499 tonnes in theprevious year. The Petroleum Company of Barbados advised Government officials thatdemand could outweigh supply and asked companies to increase the supply. They alsoasked major gasoline users, such as power plants, to reduce demand. iv. Discuss one factor EACH that you think influence demand and supply for waterheaters. Provide examples v. Is demand for gas is price elastic or price inelastic? Explain your reasoning
According to a researcher at the FDA, vegan foods are “the way if the future”. Morepersons have become health conscious and are looking for foods which will fit thislifestyle. One such food is the Beyond Burger, a plant-based alternative to beef. Notably,despite strong demand for beef burgers, the supply chain has seen a host of disruptionsthat are preventing producers from getting their products to market.Beyond Burger’s sales in Canada totaled $3.0 billion at the end of 2021, accounting for20% of all retail sales of burger patties (meat used in burgers), and 40% of the largermarket for vegan foods. By the end of 2025, sales of Beyond Burgers are projected to makeup 40% of all burger sales.i. Illustrate and explain the effect of the increased use of Beyond Burgers on (i) theburger patties market and (ii) the vegan market.
Does supply increase/decrease? No, the change in the price of landline phoneservice does not affect any of the nonprice determinants of supply. The supplycurve stays where it is.
If a 10% decrease in the price of one product thatyou buy causes an 8% increase in quantity demandedof that product, will another 10% decrease in the pricecause another 8% increase (no more and no less) inquantity demanded?
A nomadic tribe in Lapland spends all its productive time hunting reindeer. Someof the reindeer meat is kept for consumption and the remainder is sold at a nearbytrading station in return for other goods. It is observed that when the price ofreindeer meat increases the amount the tribe is willing to supply decreases.(a) Sketch this situation in a diagram, with axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘all othergoods’. (Hint: locate the production position and sketch the consumptionopportunities line before and after the price change).(b) Determine if reindeer meat is an inferior good to the tribe?(Hint: consider what happens to the consumption position).(c) How does the analysis change if the tribe can hunt and trade fish as well as thereindeer? (Hint: now label the axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘fish’ and considerboth the production and consumption decisions
answer please the last 2 sub questions The estimated demand for Canadian Processed Pork is given byQD = 171 − 20p + 20pB + 3pC + 2Ywhere QD is the quantity of pork demanded (millions of kg), p is the dollarprice per kg, pB is the price of beef per kg, pC is the price of chicken perkg, and Y is average consumer income in thousands of dollars. The supplyfor this market is given byQS = 178 + 40p − 60pB(a) According to the equations, what is the effect of an increase of pCon the market for pork? Specifically, which curve will shift, in whatdirection does the curve shift, and how will the equilibrium priceand quantity change (increase/decrease). On a corresponding graphof the supply and demand, draw the shifting curve and change inequilibrium. Note that no specific numbers are required here. Justthe direction of change.(b) Use the equations to solve for the equilibrium price of pork and quantity of pork as functions of the exogenous variables pB, pC , and Y .These will be linear…
