Normally, the people of COVID-FREE LAND demand of 3,000 sanitizers and 18,000 toilet rolls. Suddenly, there is an outbreak of COVID19 and the demand for sanitizers and toilet rolls has increased to 4,000 and 20,000, respectively. How would COVID-FREE LAND meet itsnew demand. Identify and comprehensively discuss at least three possibilities or ways. State all appropriate assumptions made.
Hanna Corporation markets a compact microwave oven. In 2010 they sold 23,000 units at $375 each. Per capita disposable income in 2010 was $6,750. Hanna economists have determined that the arc price elasticity for this microwave oven is −1.2. Which the following statement is wrong? 1. A price decrease in 2011 will help company revenue growth 2. If all other things remain equal, sales volume for 2011 are 27,312 if price is reduced to 325. 3. Assume that arc income elasticity for microwave ovens is 2.5 and price and income effects are independent and additive. Given that the price is reduced to $325, and that per capita disposable income increases to $7,000, sales volume for 2011 will be 29,032. 4. A price increase in 2011 will help company revenue growth.
In Rivendell livethe finest jewellery making elves. The local demand and supply of jewelleries in Revendell are given by QD = 16–3P, QS = 5P.

Pundits often complain about gasoline price increases at the pump during periods of market oil price increases, stating that the gasoline at the gas station was purchased prior to oil market price increases. "Why should gas that is purchased and held in inventory, prior to market price increases, be increased in price? Price gouging!" are typical comments. Please comment knowledgeably on any conceivable economic justification for raising gas station prices, for gasoline that is purchased and held in inventory, prior to the market price increase.

The market for low-skilled workers is highly competitive, due to the high numbers of low skilled individuals. If the labor supply is given by the equation QS = 10W and measured per hour, and the demand for labor is given by the equation QD = 240 − 20W. Where Q measures the quantity of labor hired (in thousands of hours). Answer the following: (d) After the implementation of the $9 minimum wage, in terms of surplus how much better off are low-skilled workers and how much worse off are employers? (e) If the minimum wage is set at $11 rather than $9 how does the deadweight loss and surplus change?
Note that parts f) and g) do not depend on the other parts and could be completed before or after parts a) to e). Two different boutique wineries supply two towns: town A and town B. Winery 1 supplies town A and Winery 2 supplies town B. Both wineries have a constant marginal cost c = 20. Assume that consumers are indifferent between the wines from different wineries and that they purchase wine only in the town they live. Demand for wine in town A is given by pA=40−12qA; the demand for wine in town B is given by pB=70−qB. f) For parts f) & g) only, please assume that the total demand for wine (from both towns) is given by p = 125 - Q. Assume now that due to the new government regulation, the companies broke up and went back to operating as Wineries 1 and 2. Each winery can now supply both towns and still has a marginal cost of 20. If Wineries 1 and 2 decide how much wine to produce simultaneously, what is the equilibrium price, quantity sold and profit of each winery? g) For…
