Rahim runs a fruit stand where he sells apples and mangoes. Each apple costs BDT 5.00 per piece and each mango costs BDT 8.00. The demand for apples and bananas are described by the following functions, where Pa, and Pm denotes the price of apples and bananas.Qa= 300-5Pa+ 3Pm Qm = 3Pa – 2.5Pm What prices of mangos and apples Rahim should set in order to maximize profit?
In her article for Slate, Glaser (2017) suggests that consumers are willing to pay any price for the latest Apple iPhone. In fact, even those who are not willing to do so may be encouraged or ‘nudged’ to purchase the latest device. However, a range of studies have indicated serious health implications associated with smartphone usage. Assuming companies like Apple cannot easily increase or decrease supply in the short-run, how might this information alter the market equilibrium for smartphones? including diagrams
I need help with finding equilibrium point on this question? a retailer will buy 45 radios fom a wholesaler if the price is $10 each but only 20 if the price is $60. the wholesaler will supply 35 radios at $30 each and 70 radios at $50 each. assuming the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point. I started with using the equation for a line and moved on to demand equation, how do I find out the supply functions? Do I plug in the supply number as (P1,Q1) and (P2,Q2) and if they come out equal is that the equilibrium point or is there something I am missing?

In mid-2010, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela (both members of OPEC)produced an average of 8 million and 3 million barrels of oil a day,respectively. Production costs were about $20 per barrel, and the price ofoil averaged $80 per barrel. Each country had the capacity to producean extra 1 million barrels per day. At that time, it was estimated that each1-million-barrel increase in supply would depress the average price of oilby $10.a. Fill in the missing profit entries in the payoff table.b.

The following graph shows the demand curve for uff, a useful commodity produced on the planet Hermes. The Hermetian currency is the yen. The graph input tool also shows how demand for uff is affected by changes in the average income of Hermetians, as well as the prices of tulg and snick, two other related goods available on the planet. Suppose that the price of a gram of uff decreased from 50 yen to 45 yen. This would cause a _______ (options: movement along, shift of) the demand curve and therefore an increase in _________ (options: the demand for uff, the quantity of uff demanded). Plug any value lower than the current number into the Average Income box. A decrease in average income causes a leftward _________ (options: movement along, shift of) the demand curve.

What will happen to the market supply curve of gadgets if a new gadget producer enters the market? It will not change. It will become more elastic. There is insufficient data to determine. It will shift right at every price with more output supplied. It will shift left at every price with less output supplied.
