Income & Subtitution Effects, Deriving Market Demand
2. Suppose Josh's preference for pancakes and cereal are represented by U=XY. Initially he has I=20, the price of pancakes is $4/ each, and the price of cereal is $2/ bowl. His optimal consumption bundle initially is 5 cereal bowls and 2.5 pancakes. Suppose next that cereal is on sale this week, so its price drops to $1/bowl. Now Josh buys 6.7 cereals and 1.6 pancakes. His cereal consumption increased from 5 to...

In a monopolistic competitive market for blood pressure monitor, suppose the market demand function for the monitor is P=160 – 3Q, where P is the price for monitor, Q and the quantity of monitor demanded. Marginal cost of producing it is MC: P = 20 + Q, where P is the price of the monitor and Q is the quantity of the monitor sold. Use the Twice as Steep Rule, form the marginal revenue function. What are the price and...

Let the demand for coal be Q = 100 - 10P + 20Y, where P is the price of coal and Y is income. Let the supply of coal be Q = 5P + 1G, where G is the price of natural gas from coalbed methane. If G increases, what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity of coal? The price and quantity both increase. The price decreases but the quantity increases The price increases but the quantity decreases. The...
