uppose two individuals (Cindy and Elicia) each have 12 hours of labor to devote to producing either roti (X) or fry rice (Y). Cindy’s demand for X and Y is given by: XC = 6/PX and YC = 6/PY, whereas Elicia’s demands are given by, XE = 8/PX andYE = 4/PY. The individuals do not care whether they produce X or Y and the production function for each good is given by X = 3L; Y = 4L where L is the total labor devoted to production of each good. The equation for the frontier is given by X/3 + Y/4 = 24.
Which is the price ratio, Px/Py?
Find the equilibrium point for the supply and demand functions
below. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.
S(x)=4x+6 and D(x)=48-3x
The quantity of a product demanded by consumers is a function of its price. The quantity of one product demanded may also depend
on the price of other products. For example, if the only chocolate shop in town (a monopoly) sells milk and dark chocolates, the price it
sets for each affects the demand of the other. The quantities demanded, q, and q2, of two products depend on their prices, p, and P2,
k
as follows:

- Stutz Department Store will buy 10 pairs of sunglasses if the price is $76 per pair and 30 pairs if the price is $26. The supplier of the sunglasses is willing to provide 35 pairs if the price is $81 per pair but only 5 pairs if the price is $21. Assuming that the supply and demand functions for the sunglasses are linear, find the market equilibrium point. Suppose that in a certain market the demand function for a product is given by 10p + q = 2,100 and the supply function is given by 50p − q = 1,350. (Assume price is measured in dollars.)

Find the equilibrium price and quantity for the number of bags of potato chips. Suppose that the main costs of producing potato chips are labor and potatoes. On a per unit basis, the cost of producing and manufacturing a bag of potato chips rises by $1.50. The firms are citing higher labor costs and fewer potatoes are grown due to the poor climate. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity? Whichever curve you think a shift will occur, derive the new function.
