Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly $50.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC.
Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity f demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive
supply curves for oil.
Let the demand curve be of the general form Q = a - bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q = c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants.
The equation for the long-run demand curve is
O A. Q=47.50 -0.27P.
O B. Q=13.50 -0.27P.
OC. Q=47.50-P
O D. Q=47.50+ 0.27P.
O E. Q=13.50-47.50P.
The equation for the long-run competitive supply curve is
O A. Q=12.00 + 47.50P.
OB. Q=12.00 -0.16P.
OC. Q 8.00+ 0.16P.
O D. Q=8.00+ 0.27P.
O E. Q=12.00 +0.16P.
The domestic supply and demand curves for hula beans are as follows: P = 50 + Q (supply) and P = 200 – Q (demand) where P is the price in cents per pound and Q is the quantity in millions of pounds. Ireland is a small producer in this market where the current price is 60 cents per pound. The Irish Government is considering a tariff of 40 cents per pound.
The quantity of hula beans imported into Ireland after the tariff is A. 100B. 50C. 130D. 90
