Suppose that the market demand and supply for bicycles in Sydney are given as follows: Demand: P = 80-1.90 Supply: P = Q The government wants to encourage the uptake of cycling as an alternative form of transport to alleviate congestion on Sydney's through a subsidy. What must the size of the subsidy be in order to increase the quantity of bicycles transacted by 107

Calculate the elasticity of demand, if the demand function is Q= 160 - 2p + 8Y, at the point where p= 12 and Q= 20. The elasticity of demand is e= (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a Calculate the elasticity of demand, if the demand function is Q=20p The elasticity of demand is e= (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a

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…

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?

If you had been hired to advise your local public transit authority on how they could raise transitrevenues and you knew the elasticity of demand for transit rides, you would be able to give a goodanswer.Explain why above statements is True, False, or Uncertain according to economic principles. Use diagrams where appropriate.

Above is the demand schedule for tickets to a Carnegie Hall performance of the Grateful Dead. Carnegie Hall seats 1,800 people.   What is the equilibrium price and quantity for a concert of the Grateful Dead at Carnegie Hall?   If tickets were sold for $18, what would happen (be specific)?

Please answer the following, a diagram and one paragraph should help support your answer.  With consideration for elasticity (especially PED), what would be one industry in which the government instituting a subsidy would make sense and why? EXAMPLE: It would make sense for the government to subsidize the fashion industry because it is generally elastic in terms of PED, and it would benefit both producers and consumers due to etc.

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…

If the demand for American automobiles is more elastic in Europe than it is in the United States, we might expect

Consider that the retail market for sanitizing wipes in a small locale is described by the follow demand and supply equations respectively: P = 8.40 - 0.02Q and P = 6.60 + 0.01Q where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity measured in thousands per week. The market is currently in equilibrium. (Question 8 of 8) Now consider than an unexpected viral outbreak led to consumers ensuring that much more surfaces (counter tops, door handles, etc.) are clean and sanitized. At the same time, the government's demand for sanitizing wipes at various public institutions (hospitals, schools, etc.) has impacted the supply of sanitizing wipes in the retail market. Although the government is neither a buyer nor seller in the retail market, their requests for sanitizing wipes does affect how many sanitizing wipes firms are able to supply in the retail market. The market for sanitizing wipes adjusts afterwards and the market is in equilibrium. Suppose that after the market for sanitizing wipes…
