Green et al. (2005) estmate the supply and demand curves for Californa processod tomatoes. The supply function is: \[ \ln \left(Q_{s}\right)=0.200+0.550 \ln (p) \] whereQis the quantify of processing tomatoes in milions of tons per year andpis the price in dollars per ton. The demand function is: \[ \ln \left(Q_{d}\right)=2600-0.200 \ln (p)+0.150 \ln \left(p_{1}\right) . \] wherep1is the price of tornato paste (which is what processing tomatoes are used to produce) in dollars per ton. Supposept=$119Determine how the equilerium price and quantity of processing tomatees change if the price of tomato pasise tails by16%. If the price of tomato paste fals by18%, then the equaborium price will by 5 (Enter a numene response using a real number rounded to two decimal places)

Assume two famous kurta brands; A1Suits selling kurtas made with natural pure cotton while K2Kaprey with polyester.
An article is published giving advantages and recommendation of wearing pure cotton clothing material during a heat wave. What will be the short-run and the long-run impact of the research article?
In support of your answer apply the comparative statics analysis, using clearly labelled two panel diagrams of demand and supply model, along-with brief explanations for:
a. Short-run market changes due to ‘Rationing function of Price’. b. Long-run market analysis of ‘Guiding or Allocating function of Price’.

- The demand for rice is given by Q d=20-p and the supply is Q s=3p-20. a. Draw the demand and supply functions. Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. b. Suppose due to drought the supply changes to 3p-30. The supply remains the same. Draw the new supply function on the same graph, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity. Has the demand increased or decreased? How did the equilibrium price and quantity change compared to part a.?arrow_forwardThis problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8.
