(a) The daily demand for hotel rooms in Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is given by the equation: QD = 230–35P. The daily supply of hotel rooms GTA is given by the equation: QS = 13+19P. What are the equilibrium price and the quantity of hotel rooms? 6 marks
(b) Suppose the demand for a bushel of Corn in 2000 was given by the equation QD = 2550–166P. At a price of $4.46 per bushel, what is the price elasticity of demand? If the price of Corn falls to $4.27 per bushel, what happens to the revenue generated from the sale of Corn?

Suppose that the government enacts a tax on retail sales of road
salt, which homeowners and businesses put on walkways and
driveways. Assume that the supply of salt is perfectly elastic, due
to the ease with which suppliers can stockpile the product.
Before the tax, 1000 fifty-pound bags of road salt are sold at an
equilibrium price of $6.5 per bag. After the tax, 775 bags are sold
at $8 per bag. How much revenue does the tax generate for the
government?
What is the amount of the tax? $ per bag

20x2 began with a $ 24,000 balance in the firm's deferred tax liability. This was based on the 12/31/x1 prepaid insurance balance of $120,000. The tax rate is 20%. The $120,000 prepaid insurance balance coverage for 20x2 and 20x3 equally. In late December 20x2, the firm performed accounting services for a client and billed the client $20,000 for the work. The client is expected to remit payment in February 20x3. Common revenue less expenses for 20x2 netted to $200,000(this amount is the same for both books and tax). Determine 20x2 income tax expense?

Use a graph to demonstrate the circumstances that would prevail in a competitive market where firms are earning economic profits. At its current level of production a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market receives $12.50 for each unit it produces, and faces an average total cost of $10. At the market price of $12.50 per unit, the firm's marginal cost curve crosses the marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1000 units. What is the firm's current profit? Can this profit be maintained in the long run? Carefully explain your answer.
