What condition is NOT required in the definition of a competitive market? Question 1 options: There are many buyers and sellers Firms can freely enter the market Sellers dislike each other because of the strong competition The goods offered by the various sellers are identical (or almost identical)
Task 4 – Information asymmetries The following diagram relates to a market with an information asymmetry. The seller has more information about the good such as a used car market. DU is the demand curve for the uninformed public and DI is the demand curve if they were fully informed. Illustrate the price and quantity for the situation where the uninformed buyer drives the market. What would the price and quantity be if they were fully informed? Indicate the deadweight loss due to the information asymmetry and the transfer from buyers to sellers due to the asymmetry. How could this problem be solved? Consider a market in Australia (other than used cars) where this situation applies and explain how the government acts to partially or wholly solve the problem.
Option 2: Improving Equilibrium Outcomes When a market is competitive and functioning properly, economic theory predicts that the market equilibrium will be efficient. However, this may not always be the desired outcome. Market outcomes may be unequal or distorted by market failure. What effect will this solution have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, social surplus, and deadweight loss? Explain.

QUESTION 1: Assume Tea brands ChotooChai and BaraChai are competing brands in the market. With arrival of winter season, ChotooChai announces good promotional deals. Using ‘Comparative Statics Analysis’ of demand and supply model: How will the managements of the two brands study the short-run and long-run impact on Tea Sales, after the announcement of promotions in the market of Tea? Demonstrate and explain, with clearly labelled two panel diagrams, the ‘Rationing Function’ and the Allocating or ‘Guiding Function’ of Price. QUESTION 2: Demand for Orange Juice is given as Qd = 5000 – 2500 P + 1200 I + 650 E – 255 Ps Suppose Income is I = Rs.500, Expectations E = 55, and Price of Ps = Rs 25. Find the Demand Equation. Using the demand function from part a., Calculate Elasticity of Demand for price range of Rs.125 and Rs.155. What will be the ‘Price Elasticity of Demand’ at P = Rs.125? Interpret the Elasticity of Demand calculated in (C) above.
Which statement is true? Group of answer choices A competitive market maximises total surplus as all the gains from trade are realized. In a competitive market all trade for which the MB is greater than or equal to the MC of production take place. If output was increased beyond the traded in a competitive market total surplus would decrease. The competitive equilibrium outcome is Pareto efficient. All of the above.
