In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations QD = 300 – 20P,QS = -540 + 40P, where P is the price per unit in pounds and QD and QS are the quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively. A) What is the equilibrium price and quantity? B) If a maximum price is fixed at £12, what quantity will be traded?
Demand and supply for a good are given by the following two equations: Demand: q = α − p Supply: q = 30 + (1 + τ ) p where q and p denote the quantity and price, respectively. The parameter α is the maximum price consumers are willing to pay, also known as the choke price, while τ represents the tax rate imposed on suppliers. (a) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity in terms of the parameters α and τ. (b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity when τ = 10% and α = 50
In this problem, p is in dollars and x is the number of units. The demand function for a product is p = 54 − x2. If the equilibrium price is $5 per unit, how many units will be purchased at this price? x1 = What is the equilibrium point? (x1, p1) = What is the consumer's surplus? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $
Supply and Demand Q1 Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for apples: Q=D(p)=280−20pQ=D(p)=280-20p, p > 0 Let the market supply of apples be given by: Q=S(p)=48+9pQ=S(p)=48+9p, p > 0 where p is the price (in dollars) and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of bushels demanded and supplied. What is the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price and quantity? Round the equilibrium price to the nearest cent, use that rounded price to compute the equilibrium quantity, and round the equilibrium quantity DOWN to its integer part.Maintain full precision for the vertical intercept by carrying the full fraction into your consumer surplus calculation.Please round your consumer surplus answer to the nearest integer.
Which one of the following statements is incorrect?A. Market demand consists of the combined demand of all the participants in the market.B. The quantity demanded of a good, say a loaf of bread, depends heavily on the availability of the good.C. The quantity demanded of a good depends on the income of consumers.D. The quantity demanded of a good also depends on the prices of related goods (complements and substitutes).E. Demand decisions have to be analysed independently of the supply situation.
Assuming an increase in Demant and decrease in Supply, which of the following statements is TRUE? The price of the good will decrease. The quantity of the good will definitely decrease. The price of this good will definitely increase. There will be a permanent shortage of this good. The new equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease, or stay the same. A surplus of this good will result from these changes in Supply and Demand. What new equiLibrium quantity will result depends on the relative magnitude of the changes and the shapes of the Demand and Supply curves. We cannot determine what will happen to price.
Demand and supply curves can be represented with equations. If Qd = 90 - 2P and Qs = P, then equilibrium price P* and equilibrium quantity Q* are a. P* = 30, Q* = 30 b. P* = 30, Q* = 60 c. P* = 60, Q* = 60 d. P* = 60, Q* = 30
Suppose the absolute values of the intercept and slope of the demand function are approximated to be ten (10) and three (3) respectively. If the absolute values of the intercept and slope of the supply function are assessed to be six (6), and five (5) respectively, calculate equilibrium price and quantity b. Suppose the intercept of the demand function increases by two (2), while the slope remains the same. If the supply function remains the same, estimate the new equilibrium price and quantity - Demonstrate graphically, the effect of the increase in the intercept of the demand function in (b) above on the equilibrium quantity and price. What generalization can you come up with from the resulting graphical analysis?
A survey by Namibian statistics agency indicated that kapana is Namibian favourite. For each of the following, graphically indicate the possible effects on demand, supply or both as well as equilibrium quantity of kapana. (a) a severe drought in Namibia causes farmers to reduce the number of cattle in their herds by a third-quarter of their stock . These farmers supply need that is used for kapana meat . (b) a new report by the veterinary council of Namibia reveals that kapana does in fact have significant health benefits (C) the discovery of cheaper animal feed by Neudamm Bush-to-feed that lower the price of cattle (d) New technology that lower cattles cost of producing
