Suppose there are three apples A,B and C being sold and consumed. The demand and supply equations for each type are: DA=20-2PA+4PB+PC , SA=4PA-5 DB=10+3PA-5PB+2PC , SB= 3PB-7 DC=70+4PA+2PB-5PC , SC=5PC-16 a) determine equilibrium Prices and quantities b) calculate the elasticity of demand for B with respect to Prices of variety A,B and C and interpret the economic meaning of the results
Question 2 If the price elasticity of demand for used cars priced between AED 4,000 and $6,000 is -1.2, what will be the percent change in quantity demanded when the price of a used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000? (
A local government is seeking to impose a specific tax on hotel rooms. The price elasticity of supply of hotel rooms is 3.5, and the price elasticity of demand is 0.3. If the new tax is imposed, who will bear the greater burden-hotel suppliers or hotel consumers? The hotel consumers pay percent and hotel suppliers pay percent of the tax.

Imagine the scenario: Theaters are open after COVID-19! Your friend is excited to watch a movie in the theaters but she is busy during weekdays when the price is $5.00 during weekday afternoon matinee hours whereas the same movie costs $11 during weekends. Can you explain this difference in ticket prices as a potential economist in terms of Elasticity?

When tolls on the Dulles Airport Greenway were reduced from $1.25 to $1.05, traffic increased from 15,000 to 20,000 trips a day. Assuming all changes in quantity were due to the change in price, what is the price elasticity of demand for the Dulles Airport Greenway?
QUESTION 11 The function that relates the inverse of speed (1/S) (i.e., the time in minutes that it takes to travel 1 mile) to traffic (T) on a highway is 1/S = 4 + 0.05T. Demand for traffic (measure as traffic volume per minute) on this road is T=6,880 -– 70.(1/S). a. Find the equilibrium traffic volume in the absence of any congestion tollI. b. Find the marginal cost function for traffic volume, where cost is expressed as travel time per mile in minutes. c. Find the optimal level of traffic volume. d. Find the optimal congestion toll, expressed in minutes. (Imagine that the congestion toll consists of sitting in the "penalty box" for this period of time.)
The government wants to raise 25,000 dollars in revenue by imposing ad valorem taxes (t_x and t_y) on two goods, called X and Y. Assume each good has a perfectly elastic supply. The demand for good X is given by Qx = 7500 - 6Px and the demand for good Y is given by Qy = 2000 - 8Py. Suppose the suppliers of Good X require $40/unit and the suppliers of good Y require $25/unit. How should the government set the tax rates to minimize the excess burden of raising the desired revenue?

Gasoline 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…
How does a sugar tax that increases the final price of non-alcoholic beverages with sugar address the problem? Using the concept of price elasticity of demand, is a tax on non-alcoholic beverages with sugar the best way of addressing the problem?
The price elasticity of demand for beer among young adults (age 18 to 24) is about 1.30, and the number of highway deaths is roughly proportional to the group’s beer consumption. If a state imposes a beer tax that increases the price of beer by 20%, by how much will the number of highway deaths among young adults decrease?
