Question 1 Suppose that the market demand curve and the market supply curve are described, respectively,...
Question 3 Which of the following statements is necessarily true if the inverse market supply curve is vertical in a competitive market? (A) There exists no equilibrium in this market (B) The equilibrium in this market is not Pareto efficient (C) Supply is perfectly elastic (D) Consumers' surplus is negatively affected if the government taxes the good (E) Taxation of the good does not result in any deadweight loss Question 4 Which of the following statements about the technical rate...
Question 4 Which of the following statements about the technical rate of substitution is false? (A) It is positive for monotonic production technologies. (B) It measures the slope of an isoquant. (C) It measures the degree to which inputs are substitutable for each other in the pro- duction process. (D) It equals the negative of two inputs' marginal products. (E) The phenomenon of diminishing technical rate of substitution reflects the idea that an input can be replaced more easily when...
Question 1: In a perfectly competitive market, the demand curve is given as: Q=100-5P, the supply curve is given as Q=3P-12. Compute the total social surplus of this market. If the government impose a tax on the producers, and the tax rate is $2 per unit produced. What is the deadweight loss? If the government impose a tax on the consumers, and the tax rate is $2 per unit purchased, graphically show the change in the market equilibrium and the...
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...
A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: Qs = 3P Qd = 400-P The equilibrium price is S and the equilibrium quantity is Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be supplied will be . and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price calling of $60 will result in the quantity the quantity Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80....
6. Demand, Supply, consumer surplus and Market Equilibrium. The following relations describe monthly demand and supply conditions in the metropolitan area for recyclable aluminum QD = 317,500 - 10,000P (Demand) Qs = -2,500 + 10,000P (Supply) where Q is quantity measured in pounds of scrap aluminum and P is price in dollars. Complete the following table: A Calculate the market equilibrium price and output? B. What is the inverse demand curve P = f(QD)? C. Compute the consumer surplus at...
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...
Suppose there exists a market for bicycles. The supply and the demand curves in this market are given by the following equations where P is the price per bicycle measured in dollars and Q is the quantity of bicycles: Market Demand Curve: P = 1500 – 3Q Market Supply Curve: P = Q + 300. Given the above information and holding everything else constant, find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.
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?
1. When the equilibrium price is 30 and equilibrium quantity is 2000. Intercept of Supply curve in the p axis is 10 and intercept of Demand curve in the p axis is 60. a) Draw the graph of equilibrium and label the equilibrium price, equilibrium quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus in the graph. b) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus. c) Explain which buyers consume the good and which producers sell the good inthe equilibrium...
