A firm that electroplates inexpensive jewelry produces toxic waste, some of which ends up in a nearby river because of pipe leakage. If state regulators notice the problem and order the firm to make repairs and improve its monitoring processes, the supply curve will shift from S1 to S2.What region of the graph represents the deadweight loss that is eliminated by the change? Use the area tool to outline the region.
You are the Economic Consultant for Zuku Farms Ghana Limited. Zuku produces cowpea in a community where producers are able to switch back and forth between cowpea and groundnut depending on market conditions. Consequently, you were tasked by the management of Zuku and you estimated the demand function for cowpea as follows: where is the quantity of cowpea demanded in bags per month, is the average price of cowpea in Ghana Cedis, is the average price of groundnut in Ghana Cedis, and Y is the income of consumers. Assuming is initially GH¢31.00 per bag, Y is GH¢1001.50. Also that your estimated supply function for cowpea is as follows: QS = -25 + 3.5PC -1.5Pf – 0.5Pg + 0.25R Where Qs is the quantity supplied of cowpea in bags, Pc and Pg are as defined above, Pf is the price of fertilizer per bag, R is the amount of rainfall (in inches). If Pf = GH¢10, R= 40 inches and Pg= GH¢31.00 Find the resulting supply function for cowpea and determine the equilibrium price and quantity.…
