Q2 For each of the following utility functions, derive the consumer's Marshallian demand functions, 21(P1, P2, B) and x (P1, P2, B), and calculate 11 (income elasticity of good 1), €1 (own-price elasticity of good 1), and €12 (cross-price elasticity). a U(x1, x2) = 21 b U(x1, x2) = 2.925-a for a € (0,1) CU(21, 12) = ln(21) + x2 where B > P2.
Question #4: Price Elasticity of Demand [14 Points]Suppose that the demand function for crab cakes is equal to 1200−=PQD(a) Using calculus calculate the price elasticity of demand when P = $20. [8 Points] (b) Is demand for crab cakes elastic, unit-elastic, or inelastic? Briefly explain [2 Points] (c) By how much should producers cut the price in order to sell 25% more crab cakes? Question #5: Elasticity [22 Points] Consider the market for an Italian cookbook. Demand for the Italian...
Income elasticity of demand Calculate the income elasticity of demand for the following demand functions and assess its magnitude (is the good normal, inferior, a luxury or a necessity?). Q =50 -10p + 3Y, at p = 2 and Y = 20 Q = 5 - 20p + 4Y, at p = 1 and Y = 50 Q = 70 – 3p – 2Y, at p = 15 and Y = 5 Q = 35 - 20p + 0.5Y, at...
A good is considered normal when its income elasticity of demand is ___ and inferior when the its income elasticity of demand is ___. Greater than zero, less than zero. Less than zero, greater than zero. Greater than one, less than one. Less than one, greater than one. If an increase in prices decreases total revenue in the short run, what will it do to total revenue in the long run? It will decrease total revenue in the long run. It...
1) Given the following demand function Q=8.5-p+0.1y a) Derive a formular for the price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand. b) find the elasticity if p=6 and y=1000 c) what will happen to price elasticity of demand if income varies. d) what will happen to income elasticity of demand if income varies. e) derive the total revenue function. show that the relationship between price and revenue depends on elasticity (Assume y = 0).
1. The demand and supply functions for two commodities are given by: Qd1 = 410 - 5P1 - 2P2 Qs1 = -60 + 3P Qd2 = 295 – P1 - 3P2 Qs2 = -120 + 2P2 where P = price , Qd = price , Qd = quantity demanded and Qs = quantity supplied. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity for these two commodities. a. Pa = 30; P2 = 75; Q1 = 50; Q2 = 20 b. P1 =...
2. Symbolic analysis of supply and demand: The following demand and supply functions provide a relatively general description of a market: where P is the price, Y is a variable denoting income, and Qd and Qs are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. The constants A, b, c, D, and e have values greater than zero. (a) Identify the parameters, endogenous variables, and exogenous variables in the above system of equations. (b) Derive expressions for the equilibrium market price...
When the value of income elasticity of demand is greater than zero, the good is called normal good. Select one: a. False b. True
Using the supply and demand functions below, derive the demand and supply curves if Y = $55,000 and pc = $7. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? The demand function for coffee is Q = 8.5-p+ 0.01Y, where Q is the quantity of coffee in millions of pounds per year, p is the price of coffee in dollars per pound, and Y is the average annual household income in high-income countries in thousands of dollars. The coffee...
