Question

The market for Super Duper Skis has supply and demand curves given by

            P=4Qs – 2CL and P=12-2Qd +5I respectively.  I=Income =$200, and CL=cost of labor = $10/hr.  What quantity of Super Duper Skis at what price will be sold in equilibrium?

A. P=668, Q=172.

B. P=672, Q=172.

C. P=1032, Q=668.

Refer to Question 13. What is the own price elasticity of demand, at equilibrium?

A. 3.88

B. 1.94

C. 0.13

D. 7.77

A. P=668, Q=172.

B. P=672, Q=172.

C. P=1032, Q=668.

Refer to Question 13. What is the own price elasticity of demand, at equilibrium?

A. 3.88

B. 1.94

C. 0.13

D. 7.77

Explanation / Answer

equlibirum level is where

4Qs – 2CL = 12-2Qd +5I

4Q - 20 = 12- 2Q + 1000

6Q = 1032

Q= 172

PUT IT IN   P=4Qs – 2CL = 4*172 -20 = $668

A. P=668, Q=172.

13.

Ed= 300-18/100-15*100+15/2 / 300+18/2 = 282/85*57.5/159=16215/13515=1.94
therefore the Demand is Elastic !
