None of these.
The domestic supply and demand curves for hula beans are as follows: P = 50 + Q (supply) and P = 200 – Q (demand) where P is the price in cents per pound and Q is the quantity in millions of pounds. Ireland is a small producer in this market where the current price is 60 cents per pound. The Irish Government is considering a tariff of 40 cents per pound.

- Consider a large country with the following inverse demand and supply functions of golf clubs: P = 100 - Q. P = 20 + Q. The world price of golf clubs is 80. This country's government decided to support domestic golf club producers and introduced an export subsidy of 20, which led to a decrease in the world price to 70 per club. The world's deadweight loss, associated with this subsidy is then equal toarrow_forwardSuppose 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.

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. The equation for the short−run demand curve is?
