Price Elasticity of Supply Given a supply equation of the form q = f ( p ) , the associated price elasticity of supply is defined as the percentage rate of increase of supply per percentage increase in price: E = d q d p ⋅ p q . (Note that the formula is the same as for price elasticity of demand except for the sign.) Exercises 31 and 32 are based on this formula Saudi Crude Oil Supply: Low Prices For crude oil prices point when of at most $20 per barrel the supply by Saudi Arabia can be approximated by q = 0.34 p + 1.2 million barrels per day ( 12 ≤ p ≤ 20 ) , where p is the price per barrel. Calculate the price elasticity of supply when the price of oil is $15 per barrel. What does the answer tell you about Saudi oil production?

Grazing Kangaroos The amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal V of food available measured as biomass, in units such as pounds per acre. This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the amount of food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. a.For the western grey kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is G=2.54.8e0.004V, where G=G(V) is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Draw a graph of G against V. Include vegetation biomass levels up to 2000 pounds per acre. ii. Is the graph you found in part i concave up or concave down? Explain in practical terms what your answer means about how this kangaroo feeds. iii. There is a minimal vegetation biomass level below which the western grey kangaroo will eat nothing. Another way of expressing this is to say that the animal cannot reduce the food biomass below this level. Find this minimal level. iv. Find the satiation level for the western grey kangaroo. b. For the red kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is R=1.91.9e0.033V, Where R is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Add the graph of R against V to the graph of G you drew in part a. ii. A simple measure of the grazing efficiency of an animal involves the minimal vegetation biomass level described above: The lower the minimal level for an animal, the more efficient it is at grazing. Which is more efficient at grazing, the western grey kangaroo or the red kangaroo?
Demand A company has found that the daily demand x for its boxes of chocolates is inversely proportional to the price p. When the price is $5, the demand is 800 boxes. Approximate the demand when the price is increased to $6.
