These are the 4 sub sections of one questions. Please answer asap Although there is demand in the local market, much of the demand for Bangladeshi Jute output has come from other countries. We are told that total demand is Q = 3583 - 301P; where, domestic demand is Qdd = 1417 - 104 P; export demand is Qe = 2166 - 197 P supply is Qs = 1767 + 202 P. (Note: total demand, Q = Qdd + Qe) (a) What is the equilibrium market price of jute? (b) Suppose, due to the recent pandemic, the export demand for jute falls by 50 percent. What happens to the price of jute in Bangladesh? (c) Now suppose the BD government wants to buy enough jute to raise the price to $5.800000000000001 per unit. With this drop in export demand, how much jute would the government have to buy? (d) How much would this cost the governmentgovernment?

Given: The ATV Company produces a specialty cement used in the construction of roads. ATV is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement using a demand function in the linear form: Q = f( P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country’s tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard. The manager of ATV obtained the following results in her attempt to estimate the demand for cement in the succeeding months.

Assume that the market demand for a product is represented by the equation P=50- and its market supply by the equation P = 10 + 2Qs where Qd and are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is the market price. Determine the equilibrium market price and quantity of the product. Clearly show your steps and calculations .
The inverse demand for table salt is p = 200qd+1 , while the inverse supply of table salt is p = 10+ 2qs. a. Find and interpret the price elasticity of supply (es) at the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity. (The equilibrium price before the tax is equal to 10.091, and after the tax is equal to 10.4949.)
Data in 1970-1999 suggest that wine consumption per capita in the State of New York is: %∆Wine = – 0.7*(%∆Price of Wine) + 3.8*(%∆Income) + 1.0*(%∆Price of Beer) where Wine is a gallon of wine per capita, Price of Wine and Price of Beer are prices of wine and beer, respectively, and Income is the nominal income per capita. All variables are expressed as percentage changes year-over-year, which are denoted as %∆ in the above equation. Explain the demand behavior of wine drinkers in New York. Does the behavior of New York consumers follow the law of demand? Why or why not? In 2003, the New York government was considering allowing supermarkets to sell wines. Lobbyists argue that the proposed law would help the local governments to balance their budgets. The argument is that the wine prices will fall, people will buy more wines, and consequently, local governments have more tax revenues. Giving the above-estimated demand function, do you support their argument? In addition, the…
Policies are designed to address issues, often with good intentions. However, the most difficult thing in designing policies is that they imply a balanced analysis of the trade-offs to avoid a worse outcome than the initial problem. Price controls are usually introduced to curb rising prices during emergencies or in specific industries. As the Covid-19 crisis continues in Malaysia, the government has imposed a maximum price control scheme on essential items, starting from April 15 until the end of the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. I believe that price control is not a good measure to reduce the upward movement of prices during a period of emergency. This is all the more true under the current scenario, where the eventual upward movement of prices is not dictated by a shortage, but is the consequence of the policy designed to contain the spread of Covid-19. In the present situation, producers are ready to meet the pressure coming from the demand if they could do so. In order to…
Suppose the United Auto Workers' Union succeeded in obtaining a 10 percent increase in the wages of its workers and that the wage increase caused automobile prices to rise. Employment in the auto industry would be most likely to decline significantly if a.the demand for American-made automobiles was highly elastic. b.American consumers considered foreign automobiles a poor substitute for American automobiles. c.the demand for American automobiles was relatively constant and highly inelastic. d.the supply of foreign-produced automobiles was highly inelastic.
Consider a competitive market for which the quantities demanded and supplied (per year) at various prices are given as follows: Price $ Demand mln Supply mln 60 22 14 80 20 16 100 18 18 120 16 20 Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price is $80 and when the price is $100. Calculate the price elasticity of supply when the price is $80 and when the price is $100. What are the equilibrium price and quantity? Suppose the government sets a price ceiling of $80. Will there be a shortage or a surplus, and if so, how large will it be?
