Consider the general supply function: Qs=1,000+20P-9P1+25F
Qs=Quantity supplied
P=price of commodity
P1=price of a key input in the production process
F=number of firms producing the commodity
What is the value of the coefficient of the price of the commodity? Does it have the theoretically correct algebraic sign? Why?
The value of the coefficient of the price of the commodity is 20. Yes, it have the theoretically correct algebraic sign because according to law of supply, price and quantity supplied varies directly with each other. That is, if price increases then quantity supplied also increases. This means the sign should be positive which is same as the sign of the coefficient of price of the commodity in this case, +20.

Q2. Consider the general supply function: Qs = 1,000 + 20 P - 9 PI +25 F Qs = quantity supplied P = price of the commodity PI = price of a key input in the production process F = number of firms producing the commodity b. Derive the equation for the supply function when PI = $480 and F = 60. (1 point) c. Sketch a graph of the supply function in part b. At what price does the...
Use the following general linear supply function: Qs = 40 + 6P - 8PI + 10F where Qs is the quantity supplied of the good, P is the price of the good, PI is the price of an input, and F is the number of firms producing the good. If PI = $20, F = 60, and the demand function is Qd = 600 - 6p the equilibrium price and quantity are, respectively,

Part 2 The demand function for Product X is Qd = 100 – 2P and its supply function is Qs = -20 + P where P is the price of Product X in dollars while Qd is the quantity demanded and Qs is the quantity supplied (both expressed in thousands of units). Part 1What are the equilibrium price and quantity? (3 points)What is the consumer surplus in the market for Product X? (2 points)What is the producer surplus in the market...
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...
Consider the following dynamic supply-demand model: Qd(t)=40-2p(t)-2p'(t)-p''(t) Qs(t)=-4+2p(t) In the above, p(t) denotes price in time t, Qd(t) and Qs(t) denote, respectively, quantity demand and quantity supplied in time t. (a)Use the above system to derive a differential equation in p(t). (b)Find the general solution for p(t). (c)Does the limit of p(t) exist?
Consider a hypothetical market for good X using the information below. Price Quantity demanded Quantity supplied 700 300 600 400 500 500 400 600 300 700 200 800 100 900 0 1000 Suppose that the production of good X generates pollution in the form of chemical runoff and that the pollution imposes a $4 cost on society for each gallon of good X produced. What is the optimal quantity of good X production? Does the market overproduce or underproduce? O...
