A1-1. Imagine that a market for a good is characterized by the following supply and demand equations: QS = –35 + 35P QD =100 – 10P 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 the equilibrium 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.…

Q. Show and describe what would happen to the demand or quantity demanded or quantity supplied or supply for a good in each of the following cases: a) a. an increase in the price of a substitute of your product, an increase in the number of suppliers and an increase in subsidies I b) b. an increase in the price of a complement, an increase in input prices and increasing costs of regulation. c) c. an increase in income, for a normal good, Freezing weather wipes out wheat crops in California
1. The demand and supply functions of beans are respectively given as 20QB +15PB-5PR=6000 and 10QB-15PB=1200. Similarly, the demand and supply of rice are Qr+Pr-PB=250 and 3Qr-7PR=710. Pɛ and PR are prices of beans and rice. QB is demand of beans and Qr is demand of rice. Find the equilibrium price and quantity of beans and rice. Are rice and beans substitute? Explain your answer.

4. U.S. agricultural farmers are excited since the government announced an increase in subsidies even though the substitutes for agricultural goods that are imported have increased in demand; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.
