I was given a word problem but I want to bullet point reasons or answers to the question, rather than one single answer. 1. Assume in a simple example that two changes occur simultaneously in an economy which produces “Good X”. The economic changes that occur in the market are: 1) An increase in the number of seller/producers in the economy who make “Good X”, and 2) An increase in the number of consumers who purchase “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for “Good X”?

1. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as PX & PY, respectively. Prices and income (I) are exogenous and positive. Given that U = X2 + Y2 , derive the Marshallian demand function for good Y and evaluate the type of good. 2. Assume you spend your entire income on two goods X & Y with prices given as PX & PY, respectively. Prices and income (I) are exogenous and positive. Given that U= X2Y2 , derive the Hicksian demand function for good Y.3. Suppose that initially PX = 2, PY = 8, I = 96 and the Marshallian demand function for good Y is given by Y∗ = (0.5I/ PY)+(0.5PX/PY)− 0.5. Calculate the own price & income elasticities of demand for good Y. Interpret your computed values and say something about the type of good.4. Suppose the economy has 100 units each of goods X and Y and the utility functions of the (only) 2 individuals are: UA (XA,YA) = X0.25Y0.75, UB (XB,YB) = X0.75Y 0.25Show that pareto-improvement is possible if,…
How can we apply the supply and demand analysis to a competitive market? What is a real-life example of an increase in the number of consumers in the market or an increase in the number of sellers/buyers in the market (competitive market)?
Which is the correct answer? Coffee and doughnuts are complements in consumption. Suppose the economy expands so that consumer income increases, and coffee is a normal good. What impact does this change in the coffee market have on the doughnut market under a general equilibrium analysis? A. Doughnut demand shifts leftward and doughnut price and quantity decline. B. Doughnut demand shifts leftward, doughnut price declines, and doughnut quantity increases. C. Doughnut demand shifts rightward, doughnut price increases, and doughnut quantity declines. D. Doughnut demand shifts rightward and doughnut price and quantity increase.
Choose a good that you like and work through the methodology to construct a demand curve. Note: please think about the axes being the good that you really like as a composite of all other goods. Start by stating the assumptions you need to make to determine demand, and then show, using diagrams, how the demand for your good is determined. Be sure to explain it carefully and comprehensively. Then we would like you to construct consumer demand for a Giffen good diagrammatically—that is, a diagram that reflects that when the price increases, the quantity demanded also increases.show an understanding of the major differences between the good mentioned above and the Giffen good. What goods can you suggest that might demonstrate this difference? Explain your conclusions.
Problem 2: At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was difficult to find supplies of standard household toilet paper in grocery stores. Using supply and demand analysis, speculate as to why? Problem 3: Consider an individual's demand curve for a specific good, given that person's preferences and income. That demand curve depicts how that individual's quantity demanded of a particular good (say boneless skinless chicken thighs) depends upon the price. Specifically, the individual's demand curve plots the answers to "what is the utility maximizing quantity of that specific good given the person's preferences and income for a specific price for that good, holding fixed the prices of all other goods?" A typical good is depicted on pages 21 and 24 of Notes N2. Page 21 shows how the utility- maximizing amount of beer varies with the price change by showing how the consumer maximizes their utility subject to the budget constraint (which varies with the price of beer). Page 24 summaries…
Which of the following would result in equilibrium shifting from point C to point A? A. There was an increase in income and technology advanced. B. There was a decrease in income and technology advanced. C. There was an increase in the price of a complement and an increase in wages paid by the firms. D. There was a decrease in the price of a complement and an increase in wages paid by the firms. E. There was an increase in the number of buyers but the number of firms remained unchang
“The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.” Do you agree or disagree with this view?
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 $10. Using this information, please sketch the individual demands and the market demand by aggregating the three agents/individuals. Label the graph clearly. Please make sure to sketch the individual demands first and then sketch the market demand.
01. Suppose there is only 1 product in the economy and that's Pizza, whoever wants to pay for pizza can be able to enjoy pizza. There two people Chris and Phill. Both are willing to pay 150$ for this pizza, but with this amount Chris wants to have 2 pizzas whilst Phill wants to have 3 pizzas. Being a pizza supplier by which method you can determine their demands for pizza and how can you ensure the market equilibrium. Support your answer with graph(s).
Think of a relevant example in your own life of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is correct, write TRUE on your answer sheet. If thestatement is incorrect, write FALSE. Explain why you answered TRUE or FALSE. 1. To some extent economics is about trade-offs. 2. If there is evidence that consumer income and the price of smartphones have influence onthe demand for tablet computers, the leftward shift in the demand curve of tabletcomputers is caused by a decrease in the price of tablet computers. 3. If fish and chicken are substitute goods, when the price of fish decreases with bountifulharvest, there will be a decrease in the quantity demand for chicken. 4. If organic virgin coconut oil (VCO) has been proven to enhance your immune systemagainst corona virus, the price VCO will increase because of a shift in supply and anunchanging demand curve.
B3) Suppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $8 or $10. For simplicity, assume that: these are the only two possible prices; there are no costs (e.g., there is no cost for obtaining and serving the beer), and each customer drinks exactly one pint of beer. There are two types of customers: professors and students. Professors are not price-sensitive and go to the bar closest to their department’s building. Thus, 25 professors from the Melbourne School of Engineering go to Prince Alfred, while 50 professors from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education go to the Last Jar. Meanwhile, the students, who are 200 in total, are price sensitive. They go to the bar with the lowest price –or, if both bars charge the same price, then they split evenly.Simultaneous game: Suppose that the two bars must choose what price to set simultaneously. a) Write the normal form of the game. b) What is the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of this game?
