Consider a perfectly newspaper market with identical firms, each with the usual shaped cost curves. (1) The government imposes a (permanent) $2 per-newspaper subsidy on the market. What is the impact of the subsidy on the newspaper market? Make sure to distinguish between the short-run and the long-run impacts. (2) If demand permanently decreases, what is the impact on the newspaper market? Make sure to distinguish between the short-run and the long-run impacts.
Consider a competitive industry with a perfectly elastic supply curve given by p = 20. The demand curve facing this industry is p(q) = 60-q. Find the per-unit tax that will maximize tax revenue to the government.
There are 1000 pear producers that have identical cost functions, C= 200+0.025q2 where q is the number of crates of apples produced. The producers operate in a perfectly competitive market. The supply curve of each producer is ________ The total supply curve for the market is ________ At a price of 100, the elasticity of supply for the market is _________, meaning that supply is _________ For the answer options, refer to the attached image.
Consider a competitive market in which the market demand for the product is expressed as P = 75 ‑ 1.5Q, and the supply of the product is expressed as P = 25 + 0.50Q. Price, P, is in dollars per unit sold, and Q represents rate of production and sales in hundreds of units per day. The typical firm in this market has a marginal cost of MC = 2.5 + 10q. Determine the equilibrium market price and rate of sales (output). Show your working. Determine the rate of sales (output) of the typical firm, given your answer to part (i) above. If the market demand were to increase to P = 100 ‑ 1.5Q, what would the new price and rate of sales in the market be? What would the new rate of sales (output) for the typical firm be?. Show your working If the original supply and demand represented a long‑run equilibrium condition in the market, would the new equilibrium (iii) represent a new long‑run equilibrium for the typical firm? Explain
Consider in perfectly competitive market the following demand and supply equations for sugar:Qd =1000-1000p where Q d is quantity demanded and Qs is quantity supplied. Qs=800+ 1000p Where P is the price of sugar per pound and Q is thousands of pounds of sugar. (a) Suppose that the government wishes to subsidize sugar production by placing a floor on sugar prices of $0.20 per pound. What would be the relationship between the quantity supplied and quantity demand for sugar?(b) Identify market problem specifically at prices 0.2 per pound and what will be scientific recommendation you suggest to solve the identified market problem?
In the free-market equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market, the price of the good is 90 dollars and the elasticity of demand and the elasticity of supply values are respectively Ed* = -6.6 and Es* = 4.1 Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax equal to 10.4 payable by consumers. Calculate the estimate of the price firms charge consumers in the tax equilibrium using the elasticity values provided above. Then enter that price value below.
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for an unregulated monoply: Qd = q = 160,000 - 2,500P TC = 400,000 +22q + 0.0001q2 where Qd is the quantity demanded for both the market and the firm, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is total cost in dollars, and q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? Assume the total cost function and the market demand remain unchanged. The equations are: Qd = q = 160,000 - 2,500P TC = 400,000 +22q + 0.0001q2 The monopolist now engages in first-degree price discrimination. e. What quantity of…
