Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt (I)Consider the market for milk in Saskatchewan. If p is the price of milk (cents per litre) and Qis the quantity of litres (in millions per month), suppose that the demand and supply curves formilk are given by: Demand: p = 225 -15QD Supply: p = 25 + 35QS a.Assuming there is no government intervention in this market, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? Equilibrium Price = $165 Quantity = 4Liters b. Now suppose the government guarantees milk producers a price of $2 per litre and promises to buy any amount of milk that the producers cannot sell. What are the quantity demanded and quantity supplied at this guaranteed price? Please answer B.

Please no written by hand solution In Example 9.1 LOADING... , we calculated the gains and losses from price controls on natural gas and found that there was a deadweight loss of $5.68 billion. This calculation was based on a price of oil of $50 per barrel and utilized the following equations: Supply: QS = 15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05PO Demand: QD = 0.02minus 1.8PG + 0.69PO where QS and QD are the quantities supplied and demanded, each measured in trillion cubic feet (Tcf), PG is the price of natural gas in dollars per thousand cubic feet ($/mcf), and PO is the price of oil in dollars per barrel ($/b). If the price of oil were $65.00 per barrel, what would be the free-market price of gas? With a $65.00 price of oil per barrel, the free-market price of gas would be $nothing per thousand cubic foot. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Ma3. 15) The US. has run down the nation's SPB, Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to levels not seen it since March 1984! At1.0million bbls per day, what was the impact on the global oil price if there was no countermeasure employed by OPEC+? Knowing that Russian oil production has declined and is expected to be1.1million bbls per day less than prewar levels AND the 1.0 million bbls per day that are coming off the market due to the end of the SPB release-let's say in March 2023. What do you expect to happen to the price of oil?

During the night, the electricity sector has a marginal cost of $1/MWh (megawatt-hour) forthe first 100 MWh produced (from wind turbines), and $20/MWh for each additional unit (from gasgenerators). During the day, they have a marginal cost of $1/MWh (megawatt-hour) for the first 50MWh produced (from solar panels), and $20/MWh for each additional unit (from gas generators).Nighttime and daytime demand are given by QnightD = 50 −P and QdayD = 200 −P , respectively.What are the market quantity and price during the day, and the market quantity and price at night?This is a model of the wholesale market for electricity, which you can think of as being competitive,but there is no resale between night and day.

Suppose the current exchange rate is 115 yen perdollar. We currently have a demand for 50 units of ourproduct when the unit price is 800 yen. The cost ofproducing and shipping the product to Japan is $6, and the current elasticity of demand is 22.5. Find the opti-mal price to charge for the product (in yen) for each of the following exchange rates: 60 yen/$, 80 yen/$, 100yen/$, 120 yen/$, 140 yen/$, and 160 yen/$. Assumethe demand function is linear.
