The Health Ministry is evaluating the data of the soft beverages market. Demand function: QD=320−5P Supply function: QS=−40+5P (a) Find the Total Surplus. The authority is concerned about the increasing obesity rate in the country. Hence, they have decided to impose a tax of TK 5 per unit on soft drinks. Submit answers in two decimal places if you get answers in decimals/fractions (b) What is the total of new consumer surplus and producer surplus after government intervention?

You are an economist. Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.86, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 55% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk20 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk28 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 12 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August.
Tutorial Exercise Worldwide annual sales of smartphones in over a 5 year period were projected to be approximately q = −10p + 4,540 million phones at a selling price of $p per phone. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand E. (b) In one particular year the actual selling price was $277 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? Interpret your answer. (c) Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would have resulted in the largest annual revenue. What, to the nearest $10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue? Step 1 (a)Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand E. Recall that the price elasticity of demand E is the percentage rate of decrease of demand divided by the percentage increase of price, given by the formula. E = − dq dp · p q We are already given the formula q = −10p + 4,540 for the demand of smartphones (in millions). First, we find the derivative…

You are an economist. Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.26, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 30% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - Insert one word answer (increase/decrease/unchanged) (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk15 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk26 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 9 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August. Do not convert into percentage. Give your answer in 2 decimal places. Eg. If you get PED = -0.253 then submit 0.25

According to the reading "Gasoline Consumption in the US and Norway", the estimate for the long- run price elasticity of demand was Ed=1.44. We also know that there is better access to public transportation in Norway than in the US. So, this estimate likely the true long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline. In other words, if the public transit system in Norway was the same as in the US, a 1% increase in the price of gas would reduce the quantity demanded in the long-run by. than 1.44%.
