In 2011, the demand for rice in India was given by Qd = 100-2p. Here Qe is the quantity demanded in kilograms and PR is the price of rice in rupees. Agriculture in India relies heavily on the monsoon rains. 2011 saw a plentiful monsoon and the supply of rice was given by Q. = 10+ PR (1) What was the equilibrium price of rice in India in 2011? How much rice was sold in the market? Draw a properly...
1. Suppose that producers of a cotton benefit from technological advancements. The equilibrium PRICE of cotton will ----- and the equilibrium QUANTITY of cotton will -----. 2. Suppose sellers of manufactured ice expect prices to be higher in the future, and at the same time the price of a complement for this good increased, and demand shifts more than supply. As a result the equilibrium price ----- and the equilibrium quantity -----. 3. Casava and Plantains are substitutes. Suppose the...

a) Draw a demand and supply model to illustrate the effects of a government subsidy paid to milk farmers for every litre of milk they sell. (Chapter 6 of the text can help you with this). Assume that demand for milk is relatively inelastic, while the supply of milk is relatively elastic. Illustrate and explain what happens to the price farmers receive, the price buyers pay, the cost to government and the quantity of milk sold. (Do not use actual...

3 Graph (20 points) Use Demand and supply diagram and draw graphs to explain why the burden of tax falls more heavily on the side of the market that is less elastic.
Question 13 (1 point) The net benefit to buyers from participating in a market can be measured by their total willingness-to-pay True False Question 14 (1 point) Suppose there are only two individuals in the market for a certain good. Individual A's inverse demand equation is P-8-0.5Qd and individual B's inverse demand equation is P 10-Qd. What is the aggregate demand equation for this market? Qd-14-1.5P Qd-12-2/3P Qd- 26-3P P-18-1.5Qd Question 15 (1 point) Technolopical Progress and the Marginal Cost...
Consider the following supply and demand model derived from a small farming town qCD=.5I-.1PC (1) qCS=1.9PC+5R (2) Where equation (1) denotes the monthly demand for corn and equation (2) denotes the monthly supply for corn. (PC) is the price of corn, (I) denotes average consumer income, and (R) denotes average monthly days of rainfall. Based on the supply and demand model depicted in equations (1) and (2): If average monthly consumer income is 200 and average rainfall per...
Goat meat producers are struggling to keep up with demand as consumers turn to alternative meats, and a dwindling supply due to the drought sees prices jump to record levels.Prices remain at $9–10 per kilo, after over-the-hook prices hit an all-time high of $10.30 per kilo carcase weight in May this year.Meat and Livestock Australia's Julie Petty said last time they saw a significant price spike was in 2017 at $7.50 but current prices were unprecedented."For a producer, if you...
