11. Suppose that you develop a software product called "EconSolver" which takes in the parameters of an economic problem and first determines how to solve it and then solves it. You have two potential markets for this product: corporations (c) and students (s). The demand schedules you have estimated are: Price Dc 300 10 275 11 250 12 225 13 200 14 175 15 150 16 Ds 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Production, distribution and software support costs are estimated to be $50 per copy for each type of customer. (i) Assume that you could only charge one price for this product regardless of customer type. What would that price be and how much profit would you make? (ii) Assume that you could practice 3rd degree price discrimination in this market. What price would you charge each customer type and what would your total profits be? (iii) Use the language of economics to explain why 3rd degree price discrimination works in this example.

Question 3 Assume the ZRA decides to impose a new tax on imported vehicles priced above K200, 0 00. The new tax calls for a 15% tax on the higher-priced vehicles. However, the new tax al so causes the demand for vehicles to be cut in half from 1000 to 500 to compensate. Th is massive drop in demand has caused the supplier to cut back on supply from 1500 to 1000. Find a) The elasticity of supply and demand. b) If the tax incidence falls more on the supplier or the consumer (Calculate both the consumer and supplier tax burdens).

A1). The price, p, that a bookstore charges for a special gift edition of a popular trilogy is related to the demand, q, by the equation 100pq + q? = 5,000,000. Suppose the price is currently set at $40. (a). At what rate is the demand currently changing with respect to this price? (Include units) (b). At what rate is the revenue currently changing with respect to this price? (Hint: use the chain rule). (Include units). (c). Suppose the demand is currently increasing at a rate of 50 copies per month. How fast is the price currently changing per month? (again, assume the price is currently $40).Include units.
Questions 2 What happens to the price and quantity demanded of peanuts when a new study finds peanuts are higher in saturated fats than other nuts. Also, a drought hurts peanut production. Data suggests a smaller supply change than demand change. If applicable, explain supply and demand curve movements in your response. (assume upward sloping supply curve and downward sloping demand curve) (assume similar elasticities-slopes).
Q4) Assume a market of a specific good. The demand and supply equation is as shown below: Pp = 70 – 3QD Ps = 5 + 20s The demand price elasticities is inelastic. From the firms' perspective, the revenue would be higher if price increases. Let's assume that the market is currently not at the equilibrium with the market price being higher by 2 units than the equilibrium price. 1. Find the market quantity 2.
