Shifters. Suppose the demand function for a good is ???? = 50??−0.75. Explain how demand changes under each of the following scenarios and provide an example of a new demand function that reflects this change: a) A popular celebrity endorses and promotes a product b) The number of consumers in the market falls c) A recession hits and consumer income falls (assuming ???? is an inferior good)

Solutions

Expert Solution

a) When a popular celebrity endorses and promotes a product , it will increase the demand for a good at each price level , so we can conlcude that the demand for a good will be double at each price level .QQdd = 2( 50pp - 0.75)

QQdd = 100pp - 1.5

b) When the number of consumers in the market falls, the demand for a good decreases at each price level .

c) A recession hits and consumer income falls, then the quantity demand increase since QQdd is an inferior good and for inferior good, the quantity demand increase when the income decrease or economic terms we can say that the income effect is negative for inferior goods. or negative relation with income. The demand curve get double.

Suppose that the world price for a good is 50, and the domestic demand and supply curves are given by the following equations: DX: PD=100-4QD SX: PS=10+6QS How much is consumed? How much is produced domestically? What are the values of producer and consumer surplus? If a 5% import tariff is imposed, by how much do consumption and domestic production change? What is the change in consumer and producer surplus? How much revenue does the government earn from the tariff?...
Income Elasticity of Demand characterizes how the demand for a good changes when consumer or customer income changes.
Income Elasticity of Demand characterizes how the demand for a good changes when consumer or customer income changes. This responsiveness to income also tells you whether the good in question is considered to be a normal good, or an inferior good.Firstly, define what exactly we mean in economics by a normal good and an inferior good?In two different articles in the 90’s some economists estimated the following income elasticities of demand for three goods. Based on the estimates below, which goods...

Suppose that the demand function for a good for two group of consumers( A and B) are given by Qa= 12 - 2P and Qb=8- P, respectively, where Q is the per unit quantity demanded. The marginal cost to provide the good is constant at 6.50 per unit. There are no externalities in the market A. Derive the aggregate demand function and find the socially efficient quantity if the good is a public good . Present the equilibrium graphically. B....
