The coconut oil demand function (Bushena and Perloff, 1991) is given by:\[ Q = 1,200 - 9.5p + 16.2P_p + 0.2Y, \]where $ Q $ is the quantity of coconut oil demanded in thousands of metric tons per year, $ p $ is the price of coconut oil in cents per pound, $ P_p $ is the price of palm oil in cents per pound, and $ Y $ is the income of consumers. Assume that $ p $ is initially 65 cents per pound, $ P_p $ is 23 cents per pound, and $ Q $ is 1,300 thousand metric tons per year. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for coconut oil and the cross-price elasticity of demand (with respect to the price of palm oil).The price elasticity of demand is\[ e = \boxed{\phantom{text}}. \](Enter your response rounded to three decimal places and include a minus sign.)

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the change in the quantity purchased of a product in…

Question: The supply and demand for 9-volt batteries are given by QD = 230 - 10P and QS = 30P-10, where P is the price per four-pack and Q measures the number of four-packs. a. Wh... The supply and demand for 9-volt batteries are given by QD=230-10P and QS = 30P-10, where P is the price per four-pack and Q measures the number of four-packs. a. What are the levels of consumer and producer surplus at the equilibrium price? b. Suppose that a hurricane causes widespread blackouts, shifting the demand curve for 9-volt batteries outward, with the new demand curve equal to QD=690-10P. If the government sets a price ceiling equal to the pre-hurricane price (the old equilibrium price), what is the level of consumer surplus? c. If the government did not impose the price ceiling, what would consumer surplus equal? Are consumers better off with the price ceiling?

Hello Please answer all except A and B) Thanks Mahboob
Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…
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.
