Consider the demand function for processed pork in Canada,
Q = 171 - 20p + 20p, + 3p, + 0.002Y
where Q is the quantity of pork demanded (measured in millions of kg per year), p is the price of pork, Ph is the price of beef, Pc is the price of chicken, and Y is the income of consumers.
If per capita income, Y, increases by $180 a year, then the quantity demanded changes by million kg. per year. (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.)

Q#3. The following demand for potatoes in the United States
was estimated for the year 1959-1973 period.
Q = 163.6 – 17.7P, + 9.3 I
Where, Q is the annual consumption of potatoes in pounds per
person; Px is the average price in dollars per hundred pounds of
potatoes; and I is the average income in thousands of 1958
dollars.
If we imagine that this year, Px=$7 and I=$2.344, then calculate
a. The sales of potatoes this year
b. Compute the elasticity of sales with respect to Px. Is price
elasticity of demand for potatoes elastic or inelastic?
c. What would the sales be next year if Px was reduced by
10% and I was increased by 20%?
Suppose that the demand curve for corn has the equation p = -0.29q+6.265 and the supply curve for corn has the equation p = 0.2q +2.1, where p is the price per bushel in dollars and q is the

(a) Find the quantities supplied and demanded when the price of corn is $3.40 per bushel.
(b) Determine the quantity of corn that will be produced and the price at which it will sell.

- Which of the following is true about quantity supplied? * The quantity supplied of a good is equal to the difference between the quantity available and the quantity desired by all consumers and producers. The quantity supplied of a good is the same thing as the quantity demanded at each price. The quantity supplied of a good is the amount that the producers are planning to sell at a particular price during a given time period. The quantity supplied of a good is the amount the firm would sell if it faced no resource constraints.arrow_forwardConsider the demand function for processed pork in Canada, Q= 171- 20p + 20p, + 3p, + 0.002Y where Q is the quantity of pork demanded (measured millions of kg per year), p is the price of pork, P. is the price of beef, p, is the price of chicken, and Y is the income of consumers. If the price of beef decreases from $4 per kg. to $2.53 per kg., then the demand curve for processed pork will shift to the left by million kg. per year.
