Part 1: Suppose that the tin mining market is perfectly competitive. The market demand curve is given by D(P) = 300 – P‚ where D is measured in units per year‚ and P is measured in $ per units. There are many potential entrants into this market‚ all of whom have identical cost curves. These cost curves are summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1 Cost Curve Formula Maginal cost (in $ per unit) MC = 30. Fixed cost per year FC = 100. (Annualized) Capital charge CC = 100. Capacity (in units per year)

some of his indifference curves. The consumer will choose the “best” indifference curve that he can reach given his budget. But when you try to do this‚ you have to ask yourself‚ “How do I find the most desirable indifference curve that the consumer can reach?” The answer to this question is “look in the likely places.” Where are the likely places? As your textbook tells you‚ there are three kinds of likely places. These are: (i) a tangency between an indifference curve and the budget line; (ii)

Explain the various objective of pricing policy. Ans. Pricing Policies A detailed study of the market structure gives us information about the way in which prices are determined under different market conditions. However‚ in reality‚ a firm adopts different policies

curved. 2 to 3 % of Americans at age 16 have scoliosis. Girls are more likely to be affected than boys. About 3 out of every 100 people have some form of scoliosis‚ though for many people it’s not much of a problem. For a small number of people‚ the curve gets worse as they grow and they may need a brace or an operation to correct it. No one knows what causes the most common type of scoliosis called Idiopathic; Idiopathic is a fancy word for unknown cause. Doctors do know that scoliosis can run in families

Does asymptotic mean that the normal curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but never actually touches it? Yes‚ asymptotic means that the curve of a line will approach 0 (the x-axis)‚ but it will not touch 0 and instead will extend to infinity. In this class‚ this applies to the normal continuous distribution and is one of the 4 key characteristics of a normal continuous distribution that our text book discusses. This means that the curve of the line will extend infinitely in both the negative

the cost curves of the last lecture; the prices of factors of production‚ also taken into account by the cost curves; and the demand for its product. Demand Curve Facing the Firm The firm’s demand curve tells how much consumers will buy at each price from a particular firm. (This is distinguished from other kinds of demand curve‚ such as the market demand curve‚ which shows how much consumers will buy at each price from all firms put together.) The shape of the firm’s demand curve is related

gross complements shift demand. Describe how input costs or production costs shift supply. Aggregate individual demand into market demand. Describe how effective price ceilings cause shortages. Compute some special demand curves and some special supply curves from verbal descriptions. Question: A survey indicated that chocolate is Americans’ favorite ice cream flavor. For each of the following‚ indicate the possible effects on demand‚ supply‚ or both as well as equilibrium price and quantity

another. Ex: tacos and salsa need to eat together. 4. Explain why an increase in quantity supplied is not the same as an increase in supply. Which of these would be associated with a rightward shift in the supply curve? What non-price determinants could lead to a shift in the supply curve? Which would be associated with a movement up
Premium Consumer theory Supply and demand
the ability or the willingness to buy a particular commodity at a given point of time. A‚ B and C are points on the demand curve. Each point on the curve reflects a direct correlation between quantities of Acer Laptops demanded (Q) and corresponding price (P). So‚ at point A‚ the quantity demanded will be Q1 and the price will be P1‚ and so on. The demand relationship curve illustrates the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The higher the price of a good the lower the quantity

simulation is to apply the supply and demand concepts to provide a better understanding on how to use the curves in order to figure out the equilibrium in the market for leasing two bedroom apartments. The simulation will help determine the difference between the movement along and shift of the demand and supply curves. Furthermore‚ how equilibrium can be established after one or both curves shift will be provided. Microeconomics and Macroeconomics Concepts Microeconomics focuses more on the individual
