A national study of U.S. colleges results in a demand equation q=20000-2p where q is the enrollment at a public college or university and p is the average annual tuition (plus fees) it charges. Officials at ESU have developed a policy to guide the number of students it will accept at a tuition level of p dollars. It is summarized in the equation q=7,500=0.5p. find the quilibruim tuition price p. find the consumers surplus for price p. find the producers surplus for pruce p. Find the total social gain.

The availability of alternative entertainment methods has resulted in a large decrease intheme-park visitors. To help the theme-park operators, the government is contemplatingimposing a price floor for theme-park tickets or provide a subsidy to theme parkvisitors. Appraise the welfare effects of these two policies with suitable theme-markmarket diagrams. Your diagrams should take into consideration of the price elasticityof demand and supply of theme-park in general. (Note: Part (b) is not link to Part (a))

Suppose the makers of PEZ candies have decided to test market a new dispenser with red, white, and blue candies. The PREZ dispenser (as it will be called in 2024) bearing the likeness of each political party's presidential candy-date is estimated to have a market demand given by: 5Q = 3000 - 200p where p is expressed in dollars per dispenser and Q is expressed in thousands of dispensers sold per week. a. If p= $6 per PREZ dispenser, how many PREZ dispensers will be sold that week? Less than a thousand? b. If p = $6 per PREZ dispenser, what will be the price elasticity of demand? PLEZ show your work. c. If the objective is to maximize revenue, how much would you recommend the company charge per PREZ dispenser?

Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by: Q=300-2P+41, where I is average income measured in thousands of dollars. The supply curve is: Q=3P-150. If 1=25, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product. The market-clearing price is $ and the market-clearing quantity is (Enter your response as an integer.)

Amy is a graduate student living in Dallas who works as a caddy to supplement their normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $15, they are willing to caddy 5 hours per week. Upping the wage to $25 per hour, they are willing to caddy 14 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Amy’s labor supply between the wages of $15 and $25 per hour is approximately  (0.06, 0.53, 1.89, 10.56) , which means that Amy’s supply of labor over this wage range is  (elastic/inelastic)  .

Daily demand for gasoline at a Gas Station is described by Q = 980 - 300p, where Q are gallons of gasoline sold and p is the price in dollars. Gas Station's supply is Q = -2,980 + 3,000p. Suppose the state government places a tax of 18 cents on every gallon of gasoline sold. (a) What are the before-tax and after-tax equilibrium quantities of gasoline Q? (b) What are the changes in consumer's and producer's surplus due to tax? (c) What is the deadweight loss resulting from this tax?

For the following pair of parameter and choice variable indicate whether the relationship is positive, negative, ambiguous, or no effect. Explain in a sentence or two. Mortgage subsidy and Deadweight loss

You can drag and drop files here to add them. Consider the public policy aimed at smoking: (a) Suppose studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 2. If the government is able to increase the price of a pack of cigarette from $2 to $3 (through may be, higher taxes), by what percentage will the consumption (demand) of cigarettes decrease? Please show all calculations. (b) Studies also find that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes for higher income earners is more inelastic compared to that of those earning less income.
