The market for coffee has been relatively stable in the past. However, following a labour union strike among factory workers, the wage rate of factory workers in the coffee industry was renegotiated upwards (increased). At the same time, a study was published claiming significant health benefits coffee from drinking coffee daily. Therefore, coffee has become more attractive to consumers.

To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value Average American household income $40,000 per year Roundtrip airfare from New York (JFK) to Las Vegas (LAS) $200 per roundtrip $250 per night Room rate at the Grandiose Hotel and Casino, which is near the Peacock Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

- please answer part darrow_forwardThe demand for product X depends on the price of product X as well as the average household income (Y) according to the following relationship Qdx=800-5P+0.001Y The supply of product X is positively related to own price of product X and negatively dependent upon W, the price of some input. This relationship is expressed as: Qsx= 100+ 45 P-4 W Given that Y = 50,000 and W= 4, what is the 1. Equilibrium price? Number 2. Equilibrium quantity? Number Suppose that income increases to 60,000 and W remains constant. What is the new: 3. Equilibrium price? Number 4. Equilibrium quantity? Number Assuming that income remains constant at 60,000 and W increases to 9, what is the new: 5: Equilibrium price? Number 6. Equilibrium quantity? Numberarrow_forwardIf the number of buyers in a market increases from 25 to 75, you would expect the equilibrium price to _____ and the equilibrium quantity to _____, holding all else constant.

- Consider the competitive market for production of a chemical as shown in the diagram below. This setup will apply to this question and the next two questions. P ($/gallon) Demand: P=220-Q/100 0 Supply: P = Q/400 Q (gallons) Production of this chemical produces noxious odors that impact the health of the communities surrounding the production facilities. It is well known that every gallon produced increases health costs in society, but there is a lot of argument over how much health costs increase. In reality the number is that health costs increase by $3 per gallon produced, but that it hard to discover. If the government does not intervene in this market, what will be the total surplus for society in this market (including the $3 per gallon health costs)? Please do not round at any step of any calculation. Do not round your final answer.arrow_forwardSuppose that you are the vice president of operations of a manufacturing firm that sells an industrial lubricant. Further suppose that your economist gives you the following supply and demand equations: Supply equation: QS = 0.5P-20 Demand equation: P = 100 a ) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity that characterizes this good b) Graphically show the market equilibrium price and quantity you found in part a). Please label this point "A". c) Suppose that the local government imposes a $4 per-unit sales tax on consumers. Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity that characterizes this good under this new scenario. d) Graphically show the new market equilibrium on the graph you drew in part b). Please label this point "B".arrow_forwardConsider the following general linear demand and supply functions that represent a market: Qd = Z −GP (3) Qs = D + EP+ CS (4) where P is the price, S is a variable denoting the average amount of production shipping costs, and Qd and Qs are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. Assume D, E, G, and Z all have values greater than zero. What equation (in addition to equations 3 & 4) completes our mathematical model of market equilibrium? Identify the parameters, endogenous variables, and exogenous variables in the above system of Derive expressions for the equilibrium market price (P∗) and quantity (Q∗) and illustrate your answers with a graph. Be sure to specify the symbolic values of the demand and supply curves where they intersect with the P-axis and Q-axis in the positive Given your…arrow_forward
- If the demand equation of a product is p= 210-g and the supply equation for a product is p= 29+2 then, the equilibrium price equalsarrow_forwardGasoline for cars is produced in a market. There are equations for the Supply and Inverse Demand of car gasoline that model its Supply and Demand graph. These equations are (for supply), P = 20 + Qs, and (for Inverse Demand), P = 80 - Qd. Due to gasoline shortages, some sellers may be able to get access to more gasoline and produce it better than others. As a result, the federal government placed a quantity restriction of 15 units on the sellers. (Part I) Draw the market equilibrium with the government intervention (Q** and P**) of the quantity restriction. Please label the graph for slopes, the equilibrium point, etc. (Part II) What is the market equilibrium without the intervention of the government? (Part III) The government decided that the previous quantity restriction was not sufficient. So, it increased the restriction from 15 units to 20 units. Consequently, what is the new market equilibrium point with this new intervention? It is not necessary to label this point on the…arrow_forwardTotal Marginal Revenue Average Total Cost Marginal Output Price Cost $100 $100 $100.00 $30 06 80 63.00 26 80 60 52.67 32 70 40 49.50 40 60 20 49.60 50 50 50.00 52 40 30 -20 52.29 66 8. -40 55.75 80 9. 20 -60 60.67 100 10 10 -80 67.60 130 Refer to the table above for a pure monopolist.
