- Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles isarrow_forwardPlease, show how to compute a slope of linear demand function?arrow_forwardif there is any diagram can you add it. Given the following demand and supply equations: QD = 10 - 0.8P + 5Y + A QS = -10 + P where Q = quantity (million units per month), P = price (€ per unit). Y = average monthly income (€000) and A monthly advertising expenditure (€000). Suppose average monthly income is €4,000 and monthly advertising expenditure is €50,000: (a) Find the market equilibrium price and quantity. (b) Find total welfare when the market is in equilibrium. (c) Find the price elasticity and income elasticities of demand and price elasticity of supply at equilibrium. Interpret your results. (d) What would be the effect of a price ceiling of €60? Explain. (e) Suppose a tax of €8 per unit is introduced: (i) What is the effect on market price and quantity? Explain. (ii) What is the impact of the tax on total welfare? Explain. (iii) How is the incidence of the tax shared between the consumer and the supplier? Explainarrow_forward

B) increases from $120 to $210 so demand is inelastic. C) decreases from $210 to $120 so demand is elastic. D) increases from $120 to $210 so demand is elastic. 6arrow_forwardUrsula's utility function is In(x) + 6y, her income is 12, and both prices are 1. (a) What is her demand for x? (b) What is her own-price elasticity for x? (c) What is her income elasticity for x?arrow_forwardWhen the price of a certain product was considered to be "low", consumers spent $5 million monthly on it. After the price doubled, the total consumer expenditures increased to $7 million. Recently you read that this means that the demand curve for this product is upward sloping. Do you agree?

- In 1998, five companies were found guilty because of their actions to raise the price of an animal feed additive, lysine, by limiting its supply. Explain why they would engage such a practice with the use of a graph. Assume that the demand for lysine is inelastic in the short term.arrow_forwardSuppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is −2, its income elasticity is 3, its advertising elasticity is 4, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is −6.
