Q4) Assume a market of a specific good. The demand and supply equation is as shown below: Po = 70 – 3Q0 Ps = 5+ 20s The demand price elasticities is inelastic. From the firms' perspective, the revenue would be higher if price increases. Let's assume that the market is currently not at the equilibrium with the market price being higher by 2 units than the equilibrium price. 1. Find the market quantity 2. Find the new Consumer Surplus 3. Find the new Producer Surplus

Using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of supply, if the price of a good rose from $95 to $105, what would be the elasticity of supply if the quantity supplied changed from a. 38 to 42? b. 78 to 82? c. 54 to 66?
If supply is elastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
A life-saving medicine without any close substitutes will tend to have a. a small elasticity of demand. b. a large elasticity of demand. c. a small elasticity of supply. d. a large elasticity of supply.
(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
An increase in the supply of a good will decrease the total revenue producers receive if a. the demand curve is inelastic. b. the demand curve is elastic. c. the supply curve is inelastic. d. the supply curve is elastic.
As the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? What is the cross elasticity of demand?
