1. Suppose we have two consumers in the market. Joe has the following demand curve: P=10-Q1. Lucy has the following demand curve: P=10-3Q2. Find (algebraically) the formula for the market (or aggregate) demand curve. Draw all 3 curves on 3 separate graphs that should be drawn next to each other (so I can see the horizontal summation of quantities).

Please give rating it will e appreciable, thank you

Consumer 1 Demand

P=10-Q1

Q1 = 10 - P

Consumer 2 Demand

P= 10- 3Q2

3Q2 = 10 - P

Q2 = 10/3 - P/3

Market Demand = Q1 + Q2

Q1 + Q2 = 10 - P + 10/3 - P/3

Q1 + Q2 = 10 + 3.3333 - P - 0.3333P

Q1 + Q2 = 13.3333 - 1.3333P

P = (13.3333 - Q1 - Q2)/ 1.3333

P = 10 - 0.75Q1 - 0.75Q2

Price	Consumer 1	Consumer 2	Market
0	10	3.3333333	13.33333
1	9	3	12
2	8	2.6666667	10.66667
3	7	2.3333333	9.333333
4	6	2	8
5	5	1.6666667	6.666667
6	4	1.3333333	5.333333
7	3	1	4
8	2	0.6666667	2.666667
9	1	0.3333333	1.333333

Suppose you have a demand curve of P = 10 - Q and a supply curve...

Suppose you have a demand curve of P = 10 - Q and a supply curve of P = 2 + Q. If the government imposes a tax of $8 per unit of quantity sold on the sellers in this market, then what is the market quantity traded as a result of the tax? Then, what are the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss (after the $8 tax)?

Suppose there is a competitive market with 30 consumers, each of which has a demand curve...

Suppose there is a competitive market with 30 consumers, each of which has a demand curve given by P = 20 – 10Q, and 30 suppliers, each of which has a supply curve given by P=10Q. a. Derive equations for the aggregate demand and supply curves. b. Find the market equilibrium price and quantity using your answer to part (a). c. What are the net benefits (consumer plus producer surplus) of the market allocation in part (b)? d. What would...

Suppose that the market demand curve is given by q=10-p and that production costs are zero for each of four oligopolists. (a) Determine the level of output for each of the four oligopolists according to the Cournot model. (b) What general rule can you deduce from your answer to part (a)?

Suppose one market has a demand curve ?(?) = 100 − ?? （1）If this market has many firms supplying the identical products to the consumers, and the industry has a cost function ?(?) = 2? ^2. What are the market equilibrium price and quantity? （2）What is the price elasticity of demand at the market equilibrium in (1)? （3）If this market has only one firm supplying the products, with cost function ?(?) = 2?^2. What are the market equilibrium price and...

The market demand curve for mineral water is P=15-Q. Suppose that there are two firms that produce mineral water, each with a constant marginal cost of 3 dollars per unit. Suppose that both firms make their production decisions simultaneously. How much each firm should produce to maximize its profit? Calculate the market price. The quantity produced by firm 1 is denoted by Q1 The quantity produced by firm 2 is denoted by Q2. The total quantity produced in the market...

There are two groups of customers in the market. Demand of group number 1 is Q1(p) = 3−0.5p, and demand of group number 2 is Q2(p) = 5−2p. The market is served by a monopolist with MC = 1. (a) Write down the market demand function (remember that demand function should be welldefined for all possible prices). Plot it. (b) Derive the MR(Q) for the market demand and plot it on the graph from above. (c) What price will the...

Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is D ( p ) = 120 − 10...

Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is D ( p ) = 120 − 10 p , and the supply curve is S ( p ) = 10 p . The government imposes a price floor of $8 per unit. 1. Draw a clearly marked graph to illustrate the demand, supply, competitive equilibrium point (without government intervention), and the price floor. 2. Compute the equilibrium price and quantity after the price floor and interpret the results. 3. Explain who...

Two firms face the following demand curve: P = 50 – 5Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2. The firms cost functions are C1 (Q1) = 20 + 10Q1 for firm 1 and C2 (Q2)= 10 + 12Q2 for firm 2. Suppose both firms have entered the industry. What is the joint profit maximizing level of output? [5Marks] What is each firms equilibrium output and profit if they behave non-cooperatively? Use the Cournot model. [5Marks] c. How much should Firm...

Suppose that the retail market for widgets has inverse demand curve P = 100 – Q....

Suppose that the retail market for widgets has inverse demand curve P = 100 – Q. Widget retailing is controlled by a monopoly retailer, R Inc., which obtains its widgets from the monopoly wholesaler W Inc. at a wholesale price of w per widget. In addition R Inc. incurs a cost of $2 per widget to promote the product and sell to consumers. Wholesaler W Inc. obtains the widgets in from monopoly manufacturer M Ltd. at a manufacturing price of...
