Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly
$100.00
per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have shown that the
short−run
price elasticity of demand for oil is
−0.05,
and the
short−run
competitive price elasticity of supply is
0.10.
Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive supply curves for oil.
Let the demand curve be of the general form
Q=a−bP
and the competitive supply curve be of the general form
Q=c+dP,
where a, b, c, and d are constants.

Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly $50.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC.
Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity f demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive
supply curves for oil.
Let the demand curve be of the general form Q = a - bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q = c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants.
The equation for the long-run demand curve is
O A. Q=47.50 -0.27P.
O B. Q=13.50 -0.27P.
OC. Q=47.50-P
O D. Q=47.50+ 0.27P.
O E. Q=13.50-47.50P.
The equation for the long-run competitive supply curve is
O A. Q=12.00 + 47.50P.
OB. Q=12.00 -0.16P.
OC. Q 8.00+ 0.16P.
O D. Q=8.00+ 0.27P.
O E. Q=12.00 +0.16P.

- Use the photo at exercise 14 to solve the problem below Imagine that firm X chooses their quantity first, then firm Y observes the quantity of firm X and chooses their own quantity. What quantities will they end up choosing? Is there a first or second-mover advantage here? [You may assume that firm X can only choose quantities that are multiples of 200. This prevents you from having to deal with prices that are not on the schedule. Also it means you've done all the busy work already--assuming you did the assignment last week.....and got it right. So this shouldn't require a lot of calculations, just a little thinking about how equilibrium works in a sequential-move game. Oh, and just give me the quantity for each firm, don't worry about giving me a complete strategy for firm Y.]arrow_forwardThe oversupply of bananas in Mexico, which is recorded in the months of September and October, causes prices to farmers to be reduced by up to 50 percent below the cost of production, said Adrián Prats, president of the banana product system at the national. "It is a critical situation, we are selling the fruit below the cost of production, which is when it really impacts the producer, since he has to continue maintaining his plantations healthy and vigorous and that costs. We have to invest in it, even though the price is not giving to pay, even, the costs", explained Prats. The above causes: a. By decreasing the price of bananas, marginal income decreases and therefore, production must be increased (T/F) _________ b. By lowering the price, the company will have to take care of its costs. To avoid leaving the market, the producer must ensure that, at least, the average variable costs (T/F) _______ are covered c.

- In mid-2010, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela (both members of OPEC) produced an average of 8 million and 3 million barrels of oil a day, respectively. Production costs were about $20 per barrel, and the price of oil averaged $80 per barrel. Each country had the capacity to produce an extra 1 million barrels per day. At that time, it was estimated that each 1-million-barrel increase in supply would depress the average price of oil by $10. Consider the competition between Saudi Arabia and Venezuela as a game. a) Construct the payoff table. b) Do countries have a dominant strategy? c) What actions should each country take and why?arrow_forwardTHIS EXERCISE FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC : Question (1): Suppose the estimated quantity demand for potato chips is Q = 140 – 15p and the quantity supply function for potato chips is Q = 115 + 10p. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for the number of bags of potato chips. Suppose that the main costs of producing potato chips are labor and potatoes. On a per unit basis, the cost of producing and manufacturing a bag of potato chips rises by $1.50. The firms are citing higher labor costs and fewer potatoes are grown due to the poor climate. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity? Whichever curve you think a shift will occur, derive the new function. Suppose that a health news piece has been published indicating the ill effects of consuming potato chips. The news has been published after the firms incurred the higher costs of production. Consumers are being advised to consume popcorn or pretzels instead of potato chips. How would that affect the market for potato…arrow_forwardSuppose that the world demand and supply elasticities of crude oil are -0.906 and 0.515, respectively. The current equilibrium price is $30 per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is 16.88 billion barrels per year. Derive the linear demand and supply equations. Now suppose the world supply curve you derived above consists of competitive supply and OPEC supply. If the competitive supply equation is: SC = 7.78 + 0.29P, what must be OPEC's level of production in this equilibrium? Now suppose social and political unrest in some non-OPEC producing countries reduced the competitive supply by 30 percent, what happens to the world price of crude oil?arrow_forward

Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions: • Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign (UAE). Both countries consume and produce vegetables, which can be costless transported between these countries. In each country, it is a competitive industry.
