Suppose 1000units of product A are produced by XYZ limited but the quantity demanded for the product is 2000units. All other things remaining constant,a $18 change in price of product A results in a change in quantity demanded and supplied of 6 and 9 respectively.XYZ has a work force of 500 people who pay an income tax of $200 each to the government. 1.Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity,suppose the government introduces a subsidy of $10 on each unit of product A.
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.
Q.4. Draw a demand line for celery. No need to find real numbers, just draw the line. Explain why the demand line slopes up. (For the X-axis use Quantity of celery from 0 to 100,000 boxes of celery a month. For the Y axis use price from $0 to $30 a box.) 2. Draw a supply line for celery. Explain why the supply line slopes up. No need to find real numbers, just draw the line. (For the X-axis use Quantity of celery from 0 to 100,000 boxes of celery a month. For the Y axis use price from $0 to $30 a box.) 3. Draw a market diagram for celery. Put the demand and supply line on the same diagram. 4. The demand line represents those consumers who are willing and able to pay. In short, if you can not pay, then you are not part of the demand line. Explain how this does or does not complicate the use of the demand and supply model as a depiction of actual situations.
Suppose the supply of a good by domestic firms is QSD = 10 + 2P and the supply by foreign firms is QSF = 10 + P. The domestic demand for the product is given by Qd = 30 − P. 1. In the absence of a quota, what is the total supply of the good? 2. What are the equilibrium price and quantity of the good? 3. Suppose a quota of 10 units is imposed. What is the total supply of the product? 4. Determine the equilibrium price in the domestic market under the quota of 10 units.
A low-income county decides to set a price ceiling on bread so it can make sure that bread is affordable to the poor. Table 3.11 provides the conditions of demand and supply. What are the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity before the price ceiling? What will the excess demand or the shortage (that is, quantity demanded minus quantity supplied) be if the price ceiling is set at 2.40? At 2.00? At 3.50?
If the government establishes a support price for sugar $12 per cwt. (Hundered pounds) and is willing to buy up any surplus sugar at that price, indicate on your graph the quantity supplied, quantity demanded, and quantity purchased by the government. If the units are million cwt, how much money is required for the government purchases? Show this amount on your graph. Demand for sugar is: Q = 20 - PSupply for sugar is: Q = 2 + P I have calculated that the equilibrium is P = 9 and Q = 11 quantities are in million hundred weight (cwt) and price is dollars per cwt.
