Infоrmаtiоn fоr questions 1-5 In а given mаrket, inverse supply is given by pS = 10 + 2 qS, and inverse demand is given by pD = 100 - 2 qD. For the first four questions, there is no government intervention of any kind, and this market is in a perfectly competitive equilibrium. It will be useful to draw a graph that allows you to keep track of all the numbers and areas. On that graph, place the supply and demand curves (hint: they are just straight lines, and you just need two points to know the entire line), and then all areas, quantities, or prices, that you may want to calculate. You may want to draw your graph roughly on scale, although strictly speaking that’s not necessary, since you won’t use the graph to get your answers. Only the exact answers are accepted, so make sure to double- and triple-check your reasoning and calculations. Suppose that the government imposes a tax of $9 in this market. Calculate the quantity produced and sold in this market, in equilibrium. Hint: you will recall that, graphically, you just insert a wedge of $9 between the supply and the demand. Mathematically, that is the same as finding the unique quantity qS = qD = q that makes the demand price be $9 above the supply price, that is, that makes pD = pS + 9. Thus, consider the equation pD = pS + 9, and solve it for q (not qS or qD).
Infоrmаtiоn fоr questions 26-32 Bubbа аnd Gump are two firms that catch and sell shrimp. Their marginal cost is (a constant) $120 per ton of shrimp. Their fixed cost is 0. The inverse demand for shrimp is P = 500 - 2 Q. Here, Q is the total quantity of shrimp, and so it may also be written as Q = QB + QG, where QB is quantity of shrimp supplied by Bubba, and QG is quantity supplied by Gump. Only exact answers are accepted, please make sure of your reasoning and your work before submitting your answer. Just as in the previous question, suppose the answers to questions 26 and 27 were Q=60 and P=380, respectively. In order to assess whether Bubba has an incentive to deviate from the collusion agreement, we need to assess whether Bubba gains by producing one additional unit of shrimp. Suppose that it does produce one additional unit, so that QB = 31 units, and QG =30 units. Calculate Bubba’s profit. (Hint: since total production goes up from Q = 60 to Q = 61, the price won’t remain at P = 380.)
