A professor in the school of business of economics carried out a research for Toyota Kenya and found the overall demand for its vehicles has an elasticity of demand of 1.3. How would you interpret this co efficient?
The demand function for a certain model of Blu-ray player is given by p = 600 0.5x + 2 where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $200/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
A project requires signing buying 500 cubic yards of concrete per week for the next year from the only local provider. The currently price is $100 per yard and the provider sells 5,000 yards per week. Assuming marginal cost is constant, elasticity of demand at the current price is -1.5.The METB (marginal excess tax burden) is 0.2. a) find opportunity cost of the weekly government purchase (Opportunity Cost = Total Revenue – Economic Profit) b)find original demand and the new demand (Qd = a – b(P)) C)find the new price, and the new quantity purchased by those other than the government in the process.
Given the supply - demand function of printers in Vietnam as follows: Sx = -20000 + 250P Dx 160000-350P Knowing that Vietnam is considered a small country, the price of a printer on the world market is $120/piece. a. If the Government of Vietnam levies an import tax of 25% on this item, calculate the loss to domestic consumers. How much is the import tax revenue from the Vietnamese government's printer products in this case? b. Due to the commitment to integration, the Government of Vietnam applies an import tax rate of 12.5% for printers, calculate the change in the import tax revenue of the Government of Vietnam. c. To ensure that there are no more imports, what is the minimum tax rate that the Vietnamese government should set?

the inverse demand function for mangos is p=6-0.5q, where q is the number of crates that are sold. The inverse supply function is p=q. In the past there was no tax on mangos but now a tax of 3$ per crate has been imposed on suppliers. What are the quantities produced before and after the tax was imposed? How much tax is raised?
Example 2: In fall of 2011, the National Christmas Tree Association decided to impose a fee/tax of $0.15 per tree sold.² They claimed the tax revenue raised would fund a new marketing campaign for Christmas tree growers in response to growing plastic tree imports. The proposal quickly drew controversy: some argued that the fee/tax would be passed along in higher prices to consumers, but the National Christmas Tree Association says no. How does the answer to this question depend on the assumption about the price elasticity of demand? a. Consider two graphs of the market for Christmas trees. The supply curve in each market is assumed to be the same. In the left graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively inelastic and in the right graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic. Add labels on your diagram to identify the equilibrium price and quantity of trees before the tax. b. Now, suppose retailers are assessed a tax of amount for each tree sold.…
Consumers' Surplus The demand function for a certain brand of mattress is given by P = 300e where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a hundred) is the quantity demanded per month. (a) Find the number of mattresses demanded per month if the unit price is set at $200/mattress. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) 1352 mattresses -0.03x (b) Use the results of part (a) to find the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $200 per mattress. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) $
It is known that the quantity demanded of a certain make of portable hair dryer is x hundred units/week and the corresponding wholesale unit price is p = 289 − 5x dollars. Determine the consumers' surplus if the market price is set at $13/unit. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $
It is known that the quantity demanded of a certain make of portable hair dryer is x hundred units/week and the corresponding wholesale unit price is p = sqrt of 289 - 3x dollars. Determine the consumers' surplus if the market price is set at $14/unit. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $

Factory orders for an air conditioner are about 4000 units per week when the price is $350 and about 6000 units per week when the price is $325. The supply function is given by p = 0.0875x. Find the consumer and producer surpluses. (Assume the demand function is linear.) consumer surplus $ 0 producer surplus $ 700000
