Question 11 0.16 pts If the price and quantity for an inferior good, Good X, is $8 and 6 units at the original equilibrium, what is one possibility for the new equilibrium of Good X if we see income increase and all other factors stay constant? O $6 and 8 units O $10 and 8 units $6 and 4 units O $10 and 2 units O $10 and 4 units Question 12 0.16 pts According to the law of demand,...
Consider that the general demand function for a product X is estimated to be Qd = 500 – 5P + 0.5M + 10PY - 2PZ Where Qd is quantity demanded of good X, P is price of good X, M is consumer income (in thousands), PY is price of good Y, and PZ is price of good Z. a. Based on the estimated demand function, what is the relationship between good X and good Y; between good X...
Suppose that there two goods X and Y, available in arbitrary non- negative quantities (so the the consumption set is R2). The consumer has preferences over consumption bundles that are strongly monotone, strictly convex, and represented by the following (differentiable) utility function: u(x, y)-y+2aVT, where z is the quantity of good X, and y is the quantity of good Y, and a 20 is a utility parameter The consumer has strictly positive wealth w > 0. The price of good...
An economic consultant for X Corp. recently provided the firm’s marketing manager with this estimate of the demand function for the firm’s product: Q d x = 98 − 4Px + 6Py − 1M where Qd x represents the amount consumed of good X, Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y , and M is income. Suppose good Y sells for $2 per unit and consumer income is $10. (a) Are goods X and Y substitutes...
Consider the following demand function for good 'X': Q = 9 -0.1px - Py + 0.01p2 +0.001Y, where Own price, Px = $120 Quantity demanded = 13.75 Price of a related good, Py = $6 Price of a related good, Pz = $275 Consumer income, Y = $20,000 The income elasticity of demand, s, when equilibrium quantity is 13.75 units and income is $20,000 is equal to : (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to three decimal...
Consider the following demand function for good x -9-0.1p-Py+0.01p2+0.001Y, where Own price, P $30 Quantity demanded 28.75 Price of a related good, Py $5 Price of a related good, P $275 Consumer income, Y- $25,000 The income elasticity of demand,when equilibrium quantity is 28.75 units and income is $25,000 is equal to (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to three decimal places)
1) Suppose that the demand for good Y is given by the equation: Qdy = 200- 2Py + 3Px, where Px is the price of good X and Py is the price of good Y. Based on this equation we can conclude that: A) Good X and good Y are complementary goods B) When the price of X goes down the quantity demanded of Y goes up C) Good X and good Y are substitute goods D) When the price...
The utility function is given by U(x, y) = xy2 . (a) Write out the demand functions for goods x and y in terms of I, px, and py. (b) What is the maximum utility the consumer can achieve as a function of I, px, and py? (c) What is the minimum the consumer needs to spend to achieve a level of utility U as a function of px, and py? (d) The initial income is $576, initial prices are...
1) Suppose that the demand is given by the equation: Qd = 200 - 2P. if the market price is 20, what is the consumer surplus? A) 8,100 B) 6,400 C) 81,000 D) 64,000 2) Suppose that the demand for good Y is given by the equation: Qdy = 40- 2Py + Px, where Px is the price of good X and Py is the price of good Y. If Py is $16, and Px is $8 , what is...
