    Equilibrium Price and Quantity: Supply and Demand

    For the following sets of supply and demand curves, calculate equilibrium price and quantity. QD = 500 - P QS = 50 + P *Price = 225 *Quantity = 275 *Price = 220 *Quantity = 500 *Price = 20 *Quantity = 1000 *Price = 275 *Quantity = 225

    Labor/ Wage Equilibrium

    Acme is the sole supplier of security systems in the product market and sole employer of locksmiths in the labor market. The demand curve for security systems is given by P = 100 - Q. The short run production function is given by Q = 4L and the supply curve for locksmiths is given by W = 40 + 2L. I am having trouble finding how

    Change in the Equilibrium Price

    In the short run, a change in the equilibrium price will always lead to inflation cause a shift in the demand curve cause a shift in the supply curve cause a change in the quantity demanded or supplied.

    Commodity Subsidy effect on Consumer/Producer Surplus

    The inverse market demand curve is P=140-Q, and the inverse supply curve is P=20+Q. Now suppose a commodity subsidy of $20 is given for each unit of production. In this new distorted market equilibrium, compute the following: 1. equilibrium demand price 2. equilibrium supply price 3. equilibrium quantity 4. the additional

    Consumer Surplus vs Producer Surplus

    The inverse market demand curve is P=140-Q, and the inverse supply curve is P=20+Q. Assuming the market is competitive, compute the following: 1. Equilibrium price 2. Equilibrium quantity 3.

    Term Equilibrium Output Level

    All firms in a competitive industry have long-run total cost curves given by LTC = Q^3 - 10Q^2 + 36q, and LTC = q^2 + 4q where Q is the firm's level of output. I am having trouble finding the industry's long term equilibrium price as well as the long term equilibrium output level for each LTC.

    Compute new equilibrium and explain results ISLM

    Y = 1550 - 2400i = 600 + 3000i 950 = 5400i i = 0.176 substitute into IS: Y= 1550 - 2400*0.176 = 1127 Then substitute Y and i into C and I: C= 300+.3(Y-T) = 300 + 0.3 * (1127 - 250) = 563.1 I= 250+.2Y-1200i = 250 + 0.2* 1127 - 1200 * 0.176 = 264.2 3. Then assume M/P rises to 1890 and solve for the new Y and i. h

    Equilibrium real output

    C= 300+.3Yd I= 250+.2Y-1200i G=300 T=250 (M/P)=3Y-9000i;M/P=1800 Using the above derive the IS and LM relations and solve for the equilibrium real output. Solve for the equilibrium interest rate and the equilibrium values of C and I. Then assume M/P rises to 1890 and solve for the new Y and i.

    Profit - Equilibrium in Monopoly

    In monopoly with Marginal Cost of $8 per unit, zero fixed cost, inverse demand function of P=38-Q what would be the profits in equilibrium: $345, $225, or $120. Please show how this was solved.

    The solution to equilibrium price and quantity

    19. For each of the following sets of supply and demand curves, calculate equilibrium price and quantity. a. QD = 2000 - 2P QS = 2P b. QD = 500 - P QS = 50 + P c. QD = 5000 - 10P QS = -1000 + 5P
