4) Suppose that demand is given by Q = 1500 - 10P and supply by Q = 5P. A) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (6 pts.) B) At the equilibrium price and quantity, find the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. (6 pts.)
Suppose the market for nurses can be modeled using supply and demand (the market is perfectly competitive). There are a large number of hospitals, doctors’ offices, clinics, etc., so that no individual employer has an impact on the market wage. The nurses are not unionized so they individually have no impact on the wage. Demand is given as Qd = 24,000 – 320W, where Qd is the quantity demanded (in full-time equivalents) and W is the hourly wage rate. Supply...

1. Suppose market demand for oranges is given by QD = 500 - 10P where Qp is quantity demanded and P is the market price. Market supply is given by Qs = -100 + 10P where Qs is quantity supplied and P is the market price. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. (b) What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus? (C) Suppose that the government imposes a $10 tax on the good, to be included...
7. Suppose the demand for lychees is given by the following equation: 100P 500PM, where P is the price of lychees and P, is the price of mangoes What happens to the demand for lychees when the price of mangoes goes up? Are lychees and mangoes substitutes or complements? a. b. Graph the demand curve for lychees when Pu2 Now suppose that the quantity of lychees supplied is given by the following equation: 1500P- 60R, where R is the amount...
12. Consider the following graph which shows the market for laptops. Give one possible scenario such that demand curve shifts from D to Dz. P 0 13. How much is the price elasticity of supply if the supply curve is vertical? 14. Consider the demand for good E. If the number of substitutes for good E decreases, will the demand become more elastic? 15. Refer to the accompanying table, calculate the price elasticity of demand for erasers if the price...
Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P = 20 – 0.6 Q d, and supply by the equation P = 10 + 0.2 Qs where Qd and Q s are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is the Price. Use the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd 1: Solve the equations to determine equilibrium price. 2: Now determine equilibrium quantity. 3. Make a Table of points and then graph the following 4. Graph Demand...
Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P = 20 – 0.6 Q d, and supply by the equation P = 10 + 0.2 Qs where Qd and Q s are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is the Price. Use the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd 1: Solve the equations to determine equilibrium price. 2: Now determine equilibrium quantity. 3: Graph the two equations to substantiate your answers and label these two graphs...
Suppose the demand curve for iPads takes the functional form: Q^d(P) = 500 – 10P; what is the own price elasticity of demand when the price is $30? Is the own price elasticity of demand for iPads elastic E >1, inelastic E < 1, or unitary elastic E = 1? And what implications does that outcome have with respect to the producer’s total revenue (TR = PQ)?
(10 marks) Suppose the market for apples is represented by: Supply: Demand: -p Q-36-3p Find the market equilibrium price and quantity. (2 marks) b. Find the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium. (3 marks) Suppose bad weather results in a poor harvest of apples. Using the price elasticity calculated in (b), explain its effect on the total revenue of the apple farmers (5 marks)
