Suppose you learned that the price elasticity of demand for wheat is 0.7 between the current price for wheat and a price 2 higher per bushel. Do you think that farmers collectively would try to reduce the supply of wheat and drive the price up 2 higher per bushel? Explain your answer. Assuming that they would try to reduce supply, what problems might they have in actually doing so?

The demand and supply equations for a product are: Q= 300 — 6P and Q.= -40 + 6P. Determine the market equilibrium and draw graphs. Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss.

Question 3 Suppose the demand for a product is given by Q-100-5P, where Qp 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. Answer the following questions and provide a graph illustration. a) Determine the equilibrium price? b) Calculate the elasticity of demand and supply at the equilibrium price. c) Determine the consumer surplus and producer surplus at the equilibrium price? d) Suppose that the government imposes a floor price of A$15 and promises to buy any surplus (e.g., Q³- QD) on the market. Determine the new consumer surplus, the new producer surplus, and the government expenditure of this policy e) Instead of using the floor price, now the government imposes a A$3 tax on each kg sold, determine the market price after having this tax policy. f) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and tax revenue. g) Using the concepts of demand and supply elasticity, predict which party, the…

The equilibrium price of pork is S and the equilibrium quantity of pork is milion kg per year. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded up to two decimal places.)
Suppose the supply of apples in a competitive market decreases due to unfavorable weather conditions. As a result, there will be A. a surplus of apples at the existing actual price as the supply curve shifts to the rightB. a shortage of apples at the existing actual price as the supply curve shifts to the leftC. upward pressure on price that will move it to a new equilibrium that is above the initial equilibrium price and elimination of a shortage as the quantity moves to equilibriumD. downward pressure on price as a shortage is eliminated.E.
