Let's say that the demand side of the market for Blue Soda is comprised of 3 leading agents/individuals: Anthony, Brad, and Claire. Let P be the price of 1 liter of Blue Soda, and Qd be the quantity demanded of Blue Soda in liters. Here are the key points to the problem: - Anthony buys only one liter of Blue Soda if the price of it falls below his choke price of $10. - Brad's demand for Blue Soda is defined by QdB = 5 - P/2 - Claire buys 2 liters if the price is below $5, 1 liter if the price is between $5 and $10, and nothing if the price is above $10. Using this information, please sketch the individual demands and the market demand by aggregating the three agents/individuals. Label the graph clearly. Please make sure to sketch the individual demands first and then sketch the market demand.

Consider the market for CD players, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose there are network externalities in this market such that the quantity of a good demanded grows in response to the growth of purchases by other individuals (as indicated by the demand curve "Demand" in the figure). Suppose that the price is initially $110 where the quantity demanded is 90 (thousand CD players per month). If the price of CD players falls to $50, demand will increase to thousand CD players per month. (Enter your response using an integer.) of this increase, thousand units of the 90 thousand-unit increase is the pure price effect and thousand units of the increase is the bandwagon effect. The bandwagon effect causes the demand for CD players to be more otherwise be the case (without network externalities). ▼than would 200- 180 160 Demand 140 120- 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 0 Deo 20 D150 D80 P120 P180 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 CD Players (thousands per month) Q Next

4) Neville's passion is fine wine. When the prices of all other goods are fixed at current levels, Neville's demand function for high-quality claret is q = .02m-2p, where m is his income, p is the price of claret (in British pounds), and q is the number of bottles of claret that he demands. Neville's income is 7,500 pounds, and the price of a bottle of suitable claret is 30 pounds. a) How many bottles of claret will Neville buy? b) If the price of claret rose to 40 pounds, how much income would Neville have to have in order to be exactly able to afford the amount of claret and the amount of other goods that he bought before the price change? At this income, and a price of 40 pounds, how many bottles would Neville buy? c) At his original income of 7,500 and a price of 40, how much claret would Neville demand? d) When the price of claret rose from 30 to 40, the number of bottles that Neville demanded decreased by: The substitution effect (increased, reduced) his demand by:bottles and the…
Consider the following demand function for airline tickets (quantities are in thousands): Q = 10-0.1p, + 0.4py + 0.25p, + 0.005Y, where P, = price of an airline ticket Py = price of a bus ticket Q = quantity demanded P, = price of gasoline Y = consumer income %3D According to the above equation, airline tickets and bus tickets are V goods. If, in equilibrium, the cross-price elasticity between airline tickets and gasoline is 1.1; when the price of the gasoline increases by 4%, the quantity demanded of airline tickets increases by % (enter your response rounded to two decimal places).

Suppose that the government tends to maximize the tax revenue. How would the cannabis price drop affect the government tax revenue if cannabis was taxed by price? Did the government anticipate the cannabis price drop when designing the tax scheme. You may come up with an artificial numerical example to support your findings. are alcohol and cigarettes substitutes or complements of cannabis? How would the change in the price of cannabis possibly affect the market demand curve for alcohol/cigarettes?

Draw the demand curve for an environmental service, for example carbon sequestration (process of capture and long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide) from tree planting, and discuss what its slope means as a measure of willingness to pay for the service(explain the direction of slope). Label the axes on your graphs clearly. Draw the supply curve for the service and discuss its slope and how it measures the marginal costs of providing increasing levels of the service (explain the direction of the slope). Identify the price, P*, and quantity, Q*, that would satisfy the static efficiency/equilibrium condition. Label the area of net benefit to society, i.e., consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS).
