The demand for Widgets (QX) is a function of the price of widgets (PX), the price of woozles
(PY), and per capita income (1): QX = 1950 - 10 PX + 5 PY-0.11 Currently, PX = 25, PY = 10,
and 1 = 15,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for widgets with respect to its own

price, the price of woozles, and income. (b) Over what range of prices is the demand for
widgets elastic? (c) If the cost per widget is 10 and the manufacturer behaves as a
monopolist, how many widgets will be sold and at what price: (d) By how much must the
price of widgets change if there is a 1% decrease in per capita income and the goal is to

- According to the reading "Gasoline Consumption in the US and Norway", the estimate for the long- run price elasticity of demand was Ed=1.44. We also know that there is better access to public transportation in Norway than in the US. So, this estimate likely the true long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline. In other words, if the public transit system in Norway was the same as in the US, a 1% increase in the price of gas would reduce the quantity demanded in the long-run by. than 1.44%.

- The current quantity in the market for a good is q° = 22 of which 44% is imported at the world price p" = 4. There are no differences between the imported and domestically produced goods. The price elasticity of the international supply is 0.07. Assuming constant-elasticity functions, the price elasticity of demand is -0.23 and the price elasticity of domestic supply is 0.16, calibrate the current market demand, domestic supply and international supply functions. The government considers imposing an import tax on the good over the next 4 years starting from next year (i.e, year 1, year 2.year 4). During this time, the market demand is expected to grow at the (annually-compounded) rate 8% a year (with all price levels) while the domestic and international supply functions remain unchanged. Calibrate the demand function for each year. Simply assuming zero interest rate, determine the smallest tax rate that can generate a total tax revenue over the time horizon of at least 35.
