For each of the determinants of demand in Equation 2.1, identify an example illustrating the effect on the demand for hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius. Then do the same for each of the determinants of supply in Equation 2.2. In each instance, would equilibrium market price increase or decrease? Consider substitutes such as plug-in hybrids, the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt, and complements such as gasoline and lithium ion laptop computer batteries.

If the region shaded grey in the diagram above represents a set, derive the system of inequalities that define that region. 2. The profit function, in dollars for a product given by p(x)= -x^3 + 76x^2 - 380x - 2800 Where x is the number of units produced and sold. If the break-even point occurs when 10 units are produced and sold a. Find the quadratic factor of P(x) b. Find finds the number of units other than 10 that give break-even for the product.
The demand and supply functions a firm producing a certain product are given respectively by: and , where p is the price per unit and quantities are in millions per year. How much consumer surplus (CS1) do consumers receive when price is P1 = $60?
The demand and supply functions for a particular commodity are given by pD(q) = 16(q + 2)-1 – 3 and pS(q) = 1/3 (q + 1) respectively. Specifically, q thousand units of the commodity will be demanded (sold) by the consumers at a price of p = pD(q) per unit while q thousand units of the commodity will be supplied by the producers at a price of p = pS(q) per unit. 1. Classify the demand and supply functions in terms of monotonic increasing and monotonic decreasing, find the equilibrium price pe and quantity qe, and compute the consumer surplus at the point of equilibrium.
The supply and demand functions for maize farmers are given as Qs = - 32 + 10P and Qd = 40 – 2P respectively where Qs is quantity supplied in bags, Qd is quantity demanded in bags and P is the price per bag in Ghana Cedis. (a) Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of maize. (b) As a result of the introduction of a new technology in maize farming, the supply function for maize changes to become Qs = - 20 + 10P. Demand remains unchanged. i. Determine the new equilibrium price and quantity. ii. Derive the supply and demand table for maize before and after the introduction of the new technology for price ranges 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. (c) Suppose government intervenes in the maize market and fixes a minimum price of GHC8 per bag after the introduction of the new technology. i. What happens in the maize market? ii. Give two (2) measures that the government can take to deal with the situation created by the minimum price in (c) i. above
We obtain the following demand curve of beef in a market: Q = 44506.941 - 3338.553 ln(P), where Q is quantity demanded of beef measured in pounds, P is price measured in dollars per pound. We know the average of P is 8.781 and the average of Q is 13016.956. Based on this information, if the price increases by 1 dollar, the quantity demanded decreases by ____%. the answer is 2.921, I need the step by step solution to get the answer
Suppose the estimated supply function for avocados is given by QS = 48 + 15p – 10pf , where pf is the price of fertilizer. The estimated demand for avocados is given by Qd = 233 - 40p + 5pt , where pt is the price of tomatoes per pound. Solve for the initial equilibrium price and quantity of avocados if the price of fertilizer, pf ,is equal to $0.35 per lb. and price of tomatoes, pt, is equal to $0.80 per lb. Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity of avocados if the price of fertilizer, pf , increases to $0.90 per lb. and price of tomatoes, pt, remains $0.80 per lb. Use these equilibrium values from parts a. and b. to solve for the price elasticity of demand for avocados. Given your calculations, are avocados elastic, inelastic or unit-elastic? Have total expenditures on avocados increased, decreased, or not changed as a result of the change in the price of fertilizer?
