Supply and Demand-End of Chapter Problem The demand for organic carrots is given by the following equation: 08 = 75 - SPo + Pc + 21 where Po is the price of organic carrots, Pe is the price of conventional carrots, and / is the average consumer income. Notice how this isn't a standard demand curve that just relates the quantity of organic carrots demandod to the price of organic carrots. This demand function also describes how other factors affect demand-namely, the price of another good (conventional carrots) and income. a. Calculate the inverse demand curve for organic carrots when Pc 5 and I 10, then drag the endpoints of the line labeled (a.) on the graph to plot this curve %3D %3D
Solve subpart 4. Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by Qs=-20+2p Qd=100-2p Where Qs and Qd are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. Graph the supply and demand curves. Be sure to calculate the P and Q intercepts for demand and the P intercept for supply. Calculate and illustrate the equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. Suppose the government implements a price ceiling of $20/unit in this market. Is the price ceiling binding on the market? What are the quantities demanded and supplied at the price ceiling? How many units are exchanged at this price? Given the effects of the policy, is there a potential for illegal trade? Briefly explain your answers where necessary. What is the value of the economic surplus that would be generated in the original equilibrium? Is there a deadweight loss due to the price ceiling policy, and if so, what is its value? Briefly explain.
Question 1 Suppose Ms. Zeenia demands 150 units of ice cream at price 50, if the price tends to increase to 60 she reduced her demand by 30 units while a further increase in the price by 10 rupees led to the reduction in the quantity demanded to 90 units ceteris paribus. Given the information above drive the demand function. Now suppose the price of milk has increased, illustrates graphically if there would be any change in the demand function elucidated in part a. Also, explain why or why not?

In the following question(s) you are asked to determine, other things equal, the effects of a given change in a determinant of demand or supply for product X upon (1) the demand (D) for, or supply (S) of, X, (2) the equilibrium price (P) of X and (3) the equilibrium quantity (Q) of X. Refer to the above. An increase in the price of a product that is a close substitute for X will: Group of answer choices a. decrease D, increase P, and decrease Q. b. increase D, increase P, and decrease Q. c. increase D, increase P, and increase Q. d. increase D, decrease P, and increase Q.

State whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE and explain your answer (d) Income elasticity of demand (E,) is a measure of the degree of responsiveness of changes in the quantity demanded of goods to a change in its price. (e) If the value of income elasticity of demand for goods is negative(E, <0), the quantity demanded will decrease when income increases. Therefore, the goods is an essential goods. (f)Microeconomics is the branch of economics that analyses the behaviour of how national economies work. (g) Economics is the study of how evenly goods and services are distributed within society (h) Inflationary gap is defined as a situation when real aggregated supply is less that the aggregate supply for employment. (i) When the supply is elastic, the supply curve has a steep slope. Recovery phase of the business cycle is when real GDP reaches its minimum after rising.
