A store that sells maize meal discovers that when the price of 1kg maize meal Is R24 per kilogram, the quantity demanded is 306 kgs per week. When the price decreases to R21 per kg, then the sales increase to 340 kgs per week

Market researchers estimate that the annual demand for ice cream in Gotham city is:    qi = (200,000Pp1/4)/ (Pi3/2Pb1/2) where qi is the quantity demanded for ice cream in scoops, Pp is the price serving of pudding, Pb is the price per serving of brownies, and Pi is the price per scoop of ice cream. a. What does the cross-price elasticity of demand equal between ice cream and brownies? b. What type of commodities are ice cream and brownies?

Suppose that as the price of Y falls from $3.00 to $2.80, the quantity of Y demanded increases from 110 to 120. Find the value of price elasticity of demand (Using Arc method). For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

Please calculate the total cost of providing a 50% subsidy on purchases of fruit and vegetables at farmers markets by SNAP participants. Assume that you are estimating it for the state of Connecticut with 350,000 SNAP participants. The season for farmers markets and the use of subsidies is 5 months (May-September); subsidies can only be used during this period. Based on prior studies, you know that a typical SNAP participant that attends farmers markets will purchase on average 3 lb of fruit and 2 lb of vegetables per month. Average price for vegetables is $1.5 per lb and the price elasticity of demand for vegetables among SNAP participants is -0.6. Similarly, fruit cost on average $2.5 per lb and the demand elasticity for fruit is -0.8. How much should the state of Connecticut expect to pay in total subsidies each season if only 20% of SNAP participants will attend farmers markets?
