1a) Suppose your company is faced with the following demand curve: Q^D = 600 – 100 P. The price elasticity of demand, E^D , at a price of $5 equals _____, and the price elasticity of demand, E^D, at a price of $1 equals _____

1b) Assume that the demand equation for exercise watches, such as the Fitbit, is Q^D = 2,200 – 15 P and the supply equation is Q^S = 15 P – 800. After a favorable study shows that using exercise watches significantly reduces users' weights, quantity demanded increases by 300 at every price. The new equilibrium price will be _____ and the new equilibrium quantity will be ____

1c)In the market for oranges, we observe that the equilibrium price increased and the equilibrium quantity increased. What could have caused this change?

1d)The demand curve for a good is Q = 80 – 0.20 P, where Q is the quantity demanded and P is the price per unit. This good's inverse demand curve is:

In 2018 the United States and China entered into a trade dispute that led both countries to impose tariffs on each other’s goods. Economists concluded that the tariffs contributed to slower growth in real GDP for both countries, though the effects were greater in China. Using aggregate demand and supply analysis explain and graph how a trade surplus can lead to a slowing real GDP in both countries.
