Question 2: Explain the notions of market equilibrium/disequilibrium and underlying factors influencing demand and supply and resultant changes to market equilibrium prices and quantity for normal goods. What are the policy implications for the firm in terms of change in market equilibrium prices, quantity, and total revenues in the light of the following market conditions? a) Rise in income level in the economy when goods supply is price inelastic and elastic. b) Increase in costs of inputs such as labour when goods demand is price inelastic and elastic

PROBLEM Consider the following: If the price per unit of good A is P175 quantity purchased is valued at 5,250 units and quantity supplied equals 2,500 units. If price changes by P1, quantity demanded changes by 4 units for consumer demand and quantity supplied changes by 2 units. Required (Show supporting calculations.): 1. Determine the demand and supply functions. 2. Determine the price and quantity at equilibrium, using algebraic solution. 3. Graph demand and supply curves on one set of axes and highlight the following: price-intercepts of demand and supply curves, quantity-intercepts of demand and supply curves, and the equilibrium point. (Make sure to LABEL your graph accordingly.)
**Answer bolded questions only please** The following relations describe monthly demand and supply for a computer support service to small businesses: Qd=3000-10P Qs=-1000+10P whrer Q is the number of businesses that need services and P is the monthly fee, in dollars. a. The average monthly fee where demand equal zero. $300 b. The average monthly fee where supply equal zero. $100 d. what is the equilibrium price/output level? e. Suppose demand increases and leads to a new demand curve: Qd = 3500 - 10P f. Suppose new suppliers enter the market due to the increase in demand so the new suply curve is Q=-500+10P. What are the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? g. Show changes on the graph.

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=80−2Qd.P=80−2Qd. Supply is represented by the equation P=−20+2Qs,P=−20+2Qs, where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.
Q1: consider the market demand and supply for Pepsi, what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity if: (properly labeled graph and elaboration required for each case separately) i. The price of Pepsi sets above equilibrium The price of Coke decreases ii. The price of input factor increases iv. Soft drinks causing health issues and the government increases tax on producers
What are the policy implications for the firm in terms of change in market equilibrium prices, quantity, and total revenues in the light of the following market conditions? (a) Rise in income level in the economy when goods supply is price inelastic and elastic. (b) Increase in costs of inputs such as labour when goods demand is price inelastic and elastic. How will COVID 19 affect this?
onsider the supply function: Qs = 60 + 5P – 12 PI + 10F , Where Qs = quantity supplied, P = price of the commodity, PI = price of a key input in the production process, and F = number of firms producing the commodity. Interpret the slope parameters on P, PI, and F. Derive the equation for the supply function when PI =$90 and F = 20. Sketch a graph of the supply function in part b. At what price does the supply curve intersect the price axis? Give an interpretation of the price intercept of this supply curve. Using the supply function from part b, calculate the quantity supplied when the price of the commodity is $300 and $500. Derive the inverse of the supply function in part b. using the inverse supply function; calculate the supply price for 680 units of the commodity. Give an interpretation of the supply price.
ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=90−2Qd.P=90−2Qd.Supply is represented by the equation P=−5+3Qs,P=−5+3Qs,where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Equilibrium price = $ Equilibrium quantity = units
more than what they have expected. In Philippines alone they were able to generate sale of ticket at 5,210 at a price of 170 pesos. However, the movie was able to raise its ticket sales to 6,000 pesos when it lowered the price to 150 pesos, in anticipation to increase more their profit margin. Calculate ticket revenues at each price level Did the pricing promotion increase or decrease ticket revenues? Estimate the ticket linear demand curve How should ticket prices be set to maximize total ticket revenue?
Assume that the demand curve is a straight line. If the price per unit of a good rises from $2.40 to 3.00, it is expected that monthly demand will fall from 250,000 units to 200,000 units. What is the point price elasticity of demand when the price is $2.40? What is the arc price elasticity of demand over these ranges of price and output? Is the demand for this good price sensitive?
In a given market, demand is described by the equation: QD=1800-10P And supply is described by QS=200+10P 1. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity 2. Graphically illustrate the equilibrium price and quantity
The market for gravel has the following demand and supply relationships: Supply function: Q = 100P - 1,000 Inverse demand function: P = 50 - 0.01*Q + PX, where P represents price of gravel per ton in dollars, Q represents sales of gravel per week in tons, and PX is the price of some other product X in dollars per unit. Let PX = $50/ton In a diagram, qualitatively describe the change that would occur in the market for gravel (i.e. equilibrium price and quantity) if a new discovery has just made the production of product X cheaper. Briefly explain whether it is a movement along or shift of demand curve and supply curve for gravel. In addition to the new discovery regarding product X in previous question), suppose now workers producing gravel ask for sick leave due to COVID. Use supply and demand analysis to predict how these two shocks will affect equilibrium price and sales. Illustrate your results in a diagram. Is there enough information to determine if market prices will rise or…
