1. The monthly demand curve for Leather Jackets is: QD = 7,500 – 5P QD = demand for Leather Jackets per month P = price of Leather Jackets per month One firms supply curve is: qS = 5 + 0.25P (all firms have the same supply function)
1a. What is the price of Leather Jackets per month if the total supply from all firms is 7,000 Leather Jackets per month?
1b. How many Leather Jackets will each firm supply and how many firms are there?
1c. If all the firms were forced to close down due to Covid-19 what would the price be when firms are allowed to open and produce again. Explain your answer.
1d. If 10 firms exit the market, calculate the new market equilibrium price and quantity.
1e. If there is a change in demand so that demand drops by 50, calculate the market equilibrium quantity and price after the firms exit the market.

The world has been hit by the outbreak of a viral
disease in the latter part of 2019 named “novel Coronavirus
disease 2019” (COVID-19). A lot of people in many countries have
been infected leading to loss of many lives
and hence necessitating a lockdown by many countries. This has also
stalled economic activities globally. This
viral outbreak has also been declared as a global pandemic by the
World Health Organisation (WHO). Ghana
however recorded its first case of the COVID-19 on March 12, 2020
and the number of confirmed cases keep
increasing with few deaths. The president therefore thought it wise
to declare a lockdown of some major parts
of the country on March 30, 2020 with its attendant effects and he
reopened it three weeks later.
Required:
a. What are the potential trickle down economic effects on the
Ghanaian economy of the global impact
caused by the deadly COVID-19 since no country is an island by
itself?
b. Discuss the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 on the
economy of Ghana with reference to
the following thematic areas: Gross Domestic Product; Inflation;
Government Revenue; Budget Deficit;
Debt level.
c. What is your assessment of the feasibility and practicability of
the fiscal and monetary measures that
have been put in place by the government so far?
d. By looking at the bright side, identify any three economic
opportunities that COVID-19 presents to the
Ghanaian economy.
