(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
Suppose both of these events took place at the same time. Combine your analyses of the impacts of the iPod and the tariff Induction to determine the likely impact on the equilibrium price and quantity of Sony Walkman-type products. Shaw your answer graphically.
Suppose that the market for bottled water can be represented by the following equations: Demand: P = 10 - 2QDSupply: P = 1 + 0.5QSwhere P is the price per gallon, and Q represents quantity of purified water, represented inmillions of gallons of water consumed.a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of bottled water.b) Concerned over high water prices after the winter storm, the government sets a priceceiling of $2.25 per gallon of water. What is the new quantity of water sold in themarket? Use supply and demand curves to illustrate your answer, showing both theoriginal equilibrium from part a) and the new quantity sold with the price ceiling.c) Calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus at the initial equilibrium priceand quantity from part a).d) Calculate the new producer surplus and consumer surplus with the price ceiling frompart b).e) How does the total consumer and producer surplus in part c) compare to the totalconsumer and producer surplus in part d)?

answer please the last 2 sub questions The estimated demand for Canadian Processed Pork is given byQD = 171 − 20p + 20pB + 3pC + 2Ywhere QD is the quantity of pork demanded (millions of kg), p is the dollarprice per kg, pB is the price of beef per kg, pC is the price of chicken perkg, and Y is average consumer income in thousands of dollars. The supplyfor this market is given byQS = 178 + 40p − 60pB(a) According to the equations, what is the effect of an increase of pCon the market for pork? Specifically, which curve will shift, in whatdirection does the curve shift, and how will the equilibrium priceand quantity change (increase/decrease). On a corresponding graphof the supply and demand, draw the shifting curve and change inequilibrium. Note that no specific numbers are required here. Justthe direction of change.(b) Use the equations to solve for the equilibrium price of pork and quantity of pork as functions of the exogenous variables pB, pC , and Y .These will be linear…
