Chick-Thai is the only store sells chicken sandwiches around Santa Barabar, where the inverse demand function of chicken sandwiches is p(g) = 50 – 2q. The cost function of the chicken sandwiches is C(q) = $ +11q+ 10. After the protest from the angry crowd, the government decides to grant a $1 subsidy for each unit of sandwiches sold. By how much will the price of chicken sandwiches change after the subsidy? Round your answer to 2 decimal points. (If you find the price will increase by 5 dollars, put in "5"; if you find the price will decrease by 3.15 dollars, put in "-3.15".) Answer:

(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
Prove that price elasticity of demand is not the same as the slope of a demand curve.
Consider the demand function for processed pork in Canada, Q. = 590.00 – 36p + 20p, + 3p. + 0.002Y The supply function for processed pork in Canada is: Q. = 442.00 + 52p - 60p, p is the price of pork Pn is the price of beef = $4 per kg Q is the quantity of pork demanded Po is the price of chicken = $3 per kg (measured in millions of kg per year) Y is the income of consumers = $12,500 Ph is the price of a hog = $1.50 per kg Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity for pork. The equilibrium price of pork is $and the equilibrium quantity of pork is million kg per year.

Viking Publishing House observed that in the recent years books on nature conservation and climate change have been very popular. As a matter of fact, Jane Goodall's latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet" has been a best-seller and Viking estimates the following demand curve for the book: P= 150 -Q In this equation, P is the price of the book and Q denotes yearly sales in thousands of books. In other words, 20,000 books would be expressed as Q = 20. Viking estimates that it incurs a cost of $40 for printing and shipping of each book and pays a $10 royalty to Jane Goodall for each book sold. Calculate the profit-maximizing OUTPUT and PRICE for this book. Also, calculate the TOTAL а. PROFITS. Show all calculations. No calculations, no points. b. Viking's CEO, Mr. Brian Tart, receives a yearly bonus from the company based on the size of the total revenue generated by Jane Goodall's book. Mr. Tart believes that his bonus is going to be satisfactory only…
Suppose the demand for a product is given by QD=100-5P, where QD is quantity per year measured in kilogram and P is the price in AUD per kilogram. The supply curve for this product is given by QS=4P-8. Calculate the elasticity of demand and supply at the equilibrium price.

Economists in Champaign have been studying the local market for Truly. They've found that the demand for Truly can be described by the following equation: P= 40 - 0.15Q. What is the price elasticity of demand(using the Midpoint method) when moving from a quantity of 100 to 130? ( input your answer in absolute value, and round it to include 2 decimal places.)

In the market for therbligs, the supply curve is Ps=$10+$0.05Qs and whose market demand curve is Pd=$20-$0.10Qd . A quick way to calculate price elasticity at a point on a straight demand or supply curve is to remember the forula of elasticity: E= (ΔQ/ΔP) x (p0/q0). At the equilibrium price and quantity, calculate the elasticities of demand and supply. 2. If an excise tax is imposed on therbligs, what fraction of that tax will be borne by therblig sellers?
The food and feed demand curves used in the Application "Summing the Corn Demand Curves," were estimated by McPhail and Babcock (2012) to be Qfood = 1,487-22.1p and Qfeed = 6,247.5-226.7p, respectively, where Q is measured in billions of bushels of corn per year. Mathematically derive the total demand curve, which the application's figure illustrates. (Hint: Remember that the demand curve for feed is zero at prices above about $27.56 per bushel.) The total demand curve is (enter your responses rounded to one decimal place): Q=-p for p≥ $27.56 per bushel and Q = -p for p <$27.56 per bushel.
Gasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…
the inverse demand function for mangos is p=6-0.5q, where q is the number of crates that are sold. The inverse supply function is p=q. In the past there was no tax on mangos but now a tax of 3$ per crate has been imposed on suppliers. What are the quantities produced before and after the tax was imposed? How much tax is raised?
