You need to answer the first few questions to answer the last. I split up because of number of questions I can ask at once but the question couldn't be answered otherwise Problem 3Squeak eClean produces commercial sanitizer used to clean tanker trucks that haul liquid foodproducts such as milk. This sanitizer a commodity like any other and at the wholesale level, thereare many domestic and foreign producers that compete vigorously. Suppose you have thefollowing estimated market demand and supply functions for the sanitizer.Qd = 248.08 +2.2Y-0.6Pc + 1.2 Ps - 4PQs = -10 +2PIn these equations, Q measures output in gallons per month (in 1,000's), P is the price per gallonof the sanitizer, Y is annual average household income (in 1,000's), Pc is an index of commodityprices, and Ps is the average price per gallon of other types of sanitizer.After gathering the latest data, you find that average household income is $36,400, the currentlevel of the commodity price index is 110.6, and the average price per gallon of other types ofsanitizers is $48.50.a. How much revenue will this tax raise for the government?b. How much of the tax burden is borne by buyers? How much is borne by sellers?c. What is the deadweight loss for society from this tax?

Company A is the only supplier of glass in Big Apple City used for tall buildings’ exteriors. Its marginal cost of production is cA=1, and it has no other production costs. The demand for such glass in Big Apple city is QD=2-P. Company B in Jersey City produces the same glass and is considering whether to expand to Big Apple city. If it enters, it needs to get a permit to allow it to be a supplier in the Big-Apple city at a cost of L=0.5, which does not vary with quantity of output, and its marginal cost of production is cB=0.5. If it expands to the Big-Apple city, companies A and B both supply to the market, and the market price P satisfies QA+QB=2-P, where QA is company A’s production level and QB is company B’s. a) If company B expands to the Big-Apple city, what is the resulting price in a Nash equilibrium? b) Company B hires a consulting company to advise whether it should expand to the Big-Apple city. If you’re running the consulting company, what is your advice? Explain your…

(Type out correct answer ASAP with proper step by step explanation.will give positive rating only for correct answer.thank you) Consider a competitive market for single-use plastic bags. Market demand is given by P=15 - Q/500, where P is the market price and Q is the quanity demanded. The marginal cost of producing plastic bags is constant, resulting in a market supply curve given by P = 3. However, every single-use plastic bag generates an external cost equal to Q/500 (note: it is increasing in the quantity produced). Hence the marginal social cost is MSC = 3 + Q/500. Now carefully respond to the following questions. A. What is the price and quantity of plastic bags prodyced in the competitve market equilibrium? B. What is the efficient (or socially optimal) quantity of plastic bags? At what price should they be sold?
Your current prices are $311 in the Southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21. Given the predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 using the stay even analysis %ΔQd = %ΔP/[%ΔP +((P-MC)/P)], can you raise prices by 7% in any of the regional markets? State your conclusion and then show the all the steps supporting your conclusion. (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price. The predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 are: 19.32 or 19% percent change in quantity demanded for the Southwestern region Western Region is 0.245 or 24.5 or 25% NE Region is 0.4032 or 40.32 or 40% I don't understand this question and need assistance.
Consider a competitive industry with production valued according to a MB = 200 - Q and production entails a private marginal cost MC = 50 + 2Q but also an external cost MCE = 30 + 2Q associated to air pollution resulting from the production process. Assuming that the producers do not have the right to pollute the air but they can legally buy the rights from potential victims, what price pR would they pay for those rights (assume that one right to pollute allows to produce one unit of output)? What quantity of output will producers produce if they have to buy the pollution rights? Is this solution efficient?

15. Given that the U.S. government mandates the use of ethanol as a partial substitute for gasoline (10% by volume), and that ethanol manufactured in the U.S. is made from corn; how will the supply of ethanol, the demand for ethanol, as well as its equilibrium price and quantity, be affected by the following event: Development of a new highly efficient method of storing electrical energy (e.g. a light weight, yet structurally strong, composite material that can serve as the car body and store electricity as well).will have multiple answers f) Equilibrium Quantity will increase. a) To the extent the amount of ethanol additive in gasoline is determined by government fiat, neither demand for not supply of ethanol will be affected unless the government changes its requirements. b) Demand will increase. c) Demand will decrease. h) Equilibrium Price will increase. i) Equilibrium Price will decrease. g) Equilibrium Quantity…
As an international manager of a US business that has just developed, I would export the computer from the US because I will have full control of how the computer will be manufactured and distributed to Europe. Another pro that I would consider to export from the US is that the patent would be able to protect the design of the computer, which will reduce the result of the property being an infringement. A con from exporting from the United States that it would cost more money from the taxes, duties, and the trade barriers that are from Western Europe. Another con would be that it would take much longer to exist something from over seas. First, I will start with the cons of the process where you might not have full control over the manufacturing process, which can really impact the product of the computer. This can significantly be a bad idea. A pro of having to license a European firm to manufacture and market the computer in Europe would be how they know all of the distribution…
If a firm is the leader (assume the firm has 100% market share) in supplying a product to the market at $3 per unit where the consumer is willing to pay $4.35 per unit, what is the profit (surplus) to the firm (assuming no additional cost to the firm) if the consumer purchases 23 units. Select one: a. $31.05 b. $23.35 c. $11.65 d. $13.05
(2) (Assume that s = 0 (there is no subsidy.)(a) Write down firm A’s profit function. (No work required.)(b) Find each firm’s best response function. (You may do this directly or by setting s to zero inyour expressions from (1b).(c) Solve for equilibrium outputs (q*A, q*B). You may either use the symmetry in this problem toassume a symmetric solution, or solve for firm B’s best response and solve the two best responsessimultaneously. (d) Solve for the equilibrium price.(e) Solve for the equilibrium profits.
A pharmaceutical company Eureka Bio has discovered a Corona vaccine that can be produced at constant marginal cost of R10. The company has entered into offtake dosage agreements with Country A and B. Country A has a dosage demand of QA=200-PA, and Country B has dosage demand QB=160-PB. (a) Suppose that Country A has high infection rates, determine the price that Eureka Bio can charge Country A and B to prevent a resale between countries. (b) If Eureka Bio is the only pharmaceutical company that was successful in developing vaccines, determine the dosage that will be sold to both Countries. What will be Eureka’s profit? (c) If World Health Organization introduces a regulation on the price of dosages, calculate the price, profits and dosages that Eureka can charge.
