Question
A1-1. Imagine that a market for a good is characterized by the following
where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit.
-
(a) Graph the supply and demand
curves with quantity on the horizontal and price on the vertical axis. Be sure to calculate the P and Q intercepts for demand and the P intercept for supply. Calculate and illustrate theequilibrium price and quantity. [Hint: Show your work.] -
(b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.]
-
(c) If a regulator imposes a quantity restriction by granting quotas for 60 units of output to existing producers, what is the new price and quantity traded? Does this policy create
deadweight loss (DWL) in the market? Briefly explain and identify any DWL in your diagram. -
(d) What is the value of a unit of quota? Illustrate in your diagram. What is the total value of all units of the quota?

- Assume the demand curve for Pepsi passes through the following two points. Price per bottle of Pepsi $2.25 $1.75 Number of bottles of Pepsi sold 100,000 275,000 When plotting the demand curve (with price in dollars on the y-axis and quantity in bottles on the x-axis), when the y-value is $2.25, the x-value is the y-value is $1.75, the x-value is bottles. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) bottles, and whenarrow_forwardThis problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…arrow_forwardPlease give a detailed solution with an explanation.
