Suppose demand and supply are given by QXd = 14 - (1/2)PX and QXs = (1/4)PX - 1 Instructions: Roun

Answer from: kernlife

a. price is $60, quantity is 14.

b. price is $36; quantity is 8

c. $96

Explanation:

A) Equilibrium is when demand is equal to supply

Demand: QXd = 14 - (1/2)PX must be equal to Supply: QXs = (1/4)PX – 1

14 - (1/2)PX = (1/4)PX – 1

- (1/2)PX – (1/4)PX = 1-14

- (1/4)PX = -15

Dividing both sides of the equation with - 1/4, we get

PX = 60.

Price at equilibrium is 60.

Substituting PX=60, into the Supply equation to get the Quantity at equilibrium:

QXs = (1/4)PX – 1

QXs = (1/4)(60) – 1

= 15 – 1

= 14

Quantity at equilibrium is 14.

(please see attachment for graph) EQUILIBRIUM A

B) A $12 excise tax will result in a decrease in demand and supply will remain the same.

QXd = 14 - (1/2)PX + 12

=26 – (1/2)PX

The new equilibrium price and quantity will therefore be:

26 - (1/2) PX = (1/4)PX – 1

(-1/2 -1/4) PX = -26 – 1

-3/4 PX = -27

Dividing both sides by -3/4, we get:

PX = 36

Substituting the new equilibrium price, into the supply equation

(1/4)PX – 1

1/4) (36) – 1 = 8

New equilibrium quantity is 8.

(Please see attached for graph) (EQUILIBRIUM B)

C) Since an excise tax is collected on each unit sold, the amount of revenue received by the government is the amount of the tax multiplied by the quantity sold. Revenue earned by the government from a $12 tax is $12 * 8 = $96.

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
