Name: Consider the market for a good where the demand curve facing a firm who has considerable market power is given by P = 80 -0.05Q, the marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 80 -0.1Q, and the firm's marginal cost curve is given by MC = 17 + 0.020. a. If the firm behaves like a competitive firm, find equilibrium price and quantity. Graphically identify and calculate consumer and producer surplus. b. If the firm behaves like a...
The demand curve for a particular market is given by: D (p) = 880 - 20p There are 100 firms operating in this market each with a cost function c (q) = q 2 /4 (i) What is the equilibrium price and quantity? Suddenly this good increases in popularity everyone is now willing to pay $1 more for the good. The government decides now is a good time to introduce a value tax of 25% on the good. (ii) What...
2. In the market for good X, demand is QD = 6,000 – 0.8P and supply is QS = 0.4P – 300. a. Derive the inverse demand and inverse supply equations. b. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? c. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply at the equilibrium. d. Suppose that an increase in consumer income makes consumers willing to pay $500 more per unit of good X, what is the new demand...
For Question 1-8, consider a competitive market for a good where the demand curve is determined by the demand function: P=5-QD and the supply curve is determined by the supply function: P=QS. Where P stands for Price, QD is quantity demanded and QS is quantity supplied. What is the equilibrium price level for the good in the competitive market?
For Questions 1-15, consider a competitive market for a good where the demand curve is determined by: the demand function: P = 5+-1*Qd and the supply curve is determined by the supply function: P = 0.5*Qs. Where P stands for Price, QD is quantity demanded and QS is quantity supplied. What is the quantity demanded of the good when the price level is P = $4? QUESTION 2 What is the quantity supplied of the good when the price level...
Tax Problem: Suppose the demand curve for a good is given by Q D = 10 - 2P and the supply curve is given by Q S = -2 + P. a) (4 points) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the absence of any government intervention. b) (6 points) Now suppose the government imposes a tax of t = 3. Find the new equilibrium price at which the good is sold in the market and the quantity of the...
10. Problems and Applications Q10 A market is described by the following supply-and-demand curves: QSQS = = 3P3P QDQD = = 400−P400−P The equilibrium price is and the equilibrium quantity is .Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $120. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $120 will result in .Suppose the government imposes a price floor of...
Consider a market where supply and demand are given by Q(s) = -10 + 3P(x) and Q(d) = 130 – 2P(x) where P(x) is the price of good X. Assume that the government imposes a price ceiling of $50. What is the impact on the market (make sure to calculate the appropriate surplus or shortage, if needed)?
10.19. In a perfectly competitive market, the market demand curve is Qd = 10 -p, and the market supply curve is Q 1.5P a) Verify that the market equilibrium price and quantity in the absence of government intervention are Pd= P 4 and Qd Q 6. b) Consider two possible government interventions: (1)A price ceiling of $I per unit; (2) a subsidy of $5 per unit paid to producers. Verify that the equilibrium market price paid by consumers under the...
2. Demand and supply equations for Good X is given as: Demand: P=6 - (1/50) Q and Supply: P= 1 + (1/100) Q [P: Price, Q: Quantity] i. Given the above information find the equilibrium price and quantity for Good X. ii. What is the point elasticity of demand at equilibrium? Is it elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic? iii. What is the point elasticity of supply at equilibrium? Is it elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic? iv. If the price increases...
