The market for a medicine is in equilibrium at 80 thousand units a month. Each one is sold for $500. Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for this medicine is -0.8 and the price elasticity of supply is 1.5.
a. Compute the slope and intercept coefficients for the linear supply and demand equations.
b. If the government imposed a per unit subsidy of $40, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of this medicine?
c. Calculate and illustrate the changes in consumer, producer, and total surplus.

The market for new vitamins is in equilibrium at 80 thousand units a month. Each one is sold for $500. Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for the new product is -0.8 and the price elasticity of supply is 1.5 Compute the slope and intercept coefficients for the linear supply and demand equations. If the government imposed a per unit subsidy of $40, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of this medicine? Calculate and illustrate the...

The price elasticity of supply for a product is 3, while the price elasticity of demand is -1. In equilibrium, price is 6 (in hundreds of dollars) and quantity consumed is 2 (in thousands of units). (a) Assuming supply and demand are linear, reconstruct and draw the supply and demand curves. Label the intercepts. (b) If a subsidy of $1 per unit is imposed what are PB and PS after the subsidy? What is the new equilibrium quantity? Illustrate them...

DEMAND & SUPPLY: Consider the market for bananas which is known to be perfectly competitive. The market is characterized by the following relationships: QD = 10,000 – 140P QS = 7500 + 125P Plot the demand curve and the supply curve on a graph. Clearly label the axes and the intercepts. Why is the demand-curve downward-sloping? What is the slope of the demand curve? Why is the supply-curve upward-sloping? What is the slope of the supply curve? What is the...

This problem involves solving demand and supply equations to determine equilibrium Price and Quantity and then illustrating them graphically.Consider a demand curve of the form : QD= -3P + 45 where QD is the quantity demanded and P is the price of the good.The supply curve for the same good is: QS= P-5 where QS is the quantity supplied at price, P. Solve for equilibrium Price (P*) and Quantity (Q*). Please set up the problem and underline your answers below....
