Demand function is given by qD = 10 - 0.2P. Market demand is 10qD = QD = 100 - 2P.
Inverse demand is 2P = 100 - QD or P = 100/2 - QD/2
Hence inverse demand is P = 50 - 0.5QD
Answer to the box is 0.5

Suppose the market was made up of two demanders. Demander 1 has a demand function given by: qp = 100 - 2P. Demander 2 has a demand function given by: qp = 250 - 4P. The horizontal summation of these two demand functions will, when graphed, have a kink (point where the slope changes). Determine the price associated with the kink in the total demand function. (Do not include a dollar sign in your response. Round to the nearest 2...
Suppose the market was made up of two demanders. Demander 1 has a demand function given by: qD = 10 - 5P. Demander 2 has a demand function given by: qD = 80 - 20P. The horizontal summation of these two demand functions will, when graphed, have a kink (point where the slope changes). Determine the price associated with the kink in the total demand function.

$4 then what is the Suppose a consumer had a utility function given by U-9x 2Y. If the price of Good X (Px) is $8 and the price of Good Y is utility maximizing quantity of Good X the consumer will purchase with a budget of $32? (Round to the nearest two decimal places if necessary) Answer 2 Suppose a consumer had a utility function given by Uxasy02. If the price of Good X (Px) is $10 and the price...
Suppose that Jim uses his budget to purchase 100 units of Good X and 100 units of Good Y. When the price of Good X rises, he purchases 55 units of Good X and 95 units of Good Y. An economist calculates his compensated budget and finds that in that scenario, Jim would buy 60 units of Good X and 105 units of Good Y Calculate the substitution effect Remember to include a negative sign (-) if the effect reduces...
Suppose an indwvidual had a uiliy funtion given by U - xoBY03, The price of Good X is $3 and the pice of Good Y is S0 .75, The individual has a budget of $29.25. Solve the optimization condition for Y given the values above and fill in the blank below Round to the nearest decimal place if necessary) Suppose an individual had a utility function given by: U XY Calculate this individual's Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRSxy) when they...
Suppose a consumer had a utlity function given by U- X04Y02. If the price of Good X (Px) is $8 and the price of Good Y is $16 then what is the utility maximizing quantity of Good X the consumer will purchase with a budget of $84? Round to the nearest decimal place if necessary) Answer Suppose an individual had a utility function given by U XY? Suppose that Bundle A contains 5 units of Good X and 5 units...
Inverse demand for a good is given by the function p = 55 – 3q and inverse supply is given by the function p = 10 + 2q. The resulting per-unit price is $28, and the quantity supplied and demanded is 9. The government now sets a price ceiling of $26, and for simplicity. assume that any goods produced are sold to consumers with the highest willingness to pay. What is the resulting consumer surplus? * 121.5 (Round to the...
Suppose that a price-searcher firm had consumers who were all identical to each other. The individual consumer's demand function is given by: p= 20 -5P. The firm decides to try a second-degree price discrimination scheme. The first 9 units will have a price of $2.20. After that, any units a consumer purchases will be only $1.40. The firm has a constant marginal cost of $0.20 per unit. Calculate the consumer surplus. (Do not include a "S" sign in your response....
Suppose an individual had a utility function given by: U=XY^2. Suppose that Bundle A contains 5 units of Good X and 5 units of Good Y. Bundle B contains 2 units of Good Y and an unknown quantity of Good X. Calculate the amount of Good X that would make the individual indifferent between Bundle A and Bundle B. (Round to the nearest three decimal places if necessary.)
Suppose an individual had a utility function given by: U=X^2*Y. Suppose that Bundle A contains 16 units of Good X and 16 units of Good Y. Bundle B contains 25 units of Good Y and an unknown quantity of Good X. Calculate the amount of Good X that would make the individual indifferent between Bundle A and Bundle B. (Round to the nearest three decimal places if necessary.)
