Suppose a demand curve for x is given by Q, = 90 – 2P, + 2P, - 5M, where Q, is the quantity demanded of x, P, its price, P, the price of some other good y, and M represents the demander's income. a. Is xa normal good or an inferior good? b. What is Q, when P,= 5,: P, = 2; M =50? c. What is the own price elasticity of Q. when the price of x goes up from 5 to 6 (assume P, = 2; M =50)?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose the cost of petrol is Rs. 100 per litre. There are two consumers who wish to purchase petrol for their cars: A and B. Consumer A goes to the petrol pump and asks for 10 litres of petrol. Consumer B goes to the petrol pump and asks for petrol worth Rs. 1000. (i) Find the equilibrium quantity demanded by each consumer. (ii) Draw the demand curves for each consumer. Are the two consumers identical? What is the price elasticity of demand for each consumer?

Motorcycles and bicycles are substitutes under demand. The following questionsrelate to the bicycle market. 1. Explain how a decrease in the price of motorcycles will affect the demandfor bicycles. 2. Draw a graph that supports the statement in Q.1 above.
O X₁ V -IC, IC₂ IC, X₂ B X, X, B, B₂ (a) Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? Explain. B₂ X (b) Let Y refer to all other goods. Is the demand for good X elastic or inelastic? Explain.
True/False? Briefly explain. Assume good x is a normal good. In terms of consumer behavior, a cash grant and a small (relative to the initial consumption of x) limited non-matching grant on good x (with the limit that is equal to the cash grant) are essentially equivalent.
QUESTION 5 Refer to Figure 1 below: Price (dollar) Z W •D₂ Quumtity . A movement from point Z to point V could have been the result of a price increase. an increase in buyers' income (assuming that this is a normal good). an increase in the price of a complement to this good. a decrease in the number of buyers.
Which of the ff. is correct with regards to the demand curve? A. If the price of the good increases, the demand curve for the good will shift to the left B. If the price of the good increases, the consumers have the incentive to look for substitutes, thus, the quantity demanded and its price are inversely related C. Income of the consumers is written on the vertical axis D. Varying preferences of the consumers is reflected in the demand curve and is written on the horizontal axis
If any changes in the price of one product, leave the quantity demanded of other product unchanged, then the demand for the *.two products is unrelated False O True
2) Suppose that there are two types of consumers. "Type 1" consists of 10 identical consumers who each have the following individual demand curve: P=40-2Q. "Type 2" consists of 50 identical consumers who each have the following individual demand curve: P = 73 - 5Qd². a. Compute the market demand curve, where P is a function of Q, where Q- Qar+Qaz. b. Suppose the supply of this good is perfectly inelastic at a quantity of Q. = 30. Compute the market equilibrium price of this good.
