Q1. A sole producer has a marginal revenue function given by:

Is demand elastic or inelastic if they produce 5 units? 经济学数学代考

Q2. The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1 and is used for measuring inequality. A number closer to 1 indicates higher inequality. Graphically, the Gini coefficient is given by the area between a diagonal straight line with slope equal to 1 and the Lorenz curve and this figure divided by the area below the diagonal. If The Lorenz curve is given by , estimate the inequality (up to 4 decimals). Compute the Gini coefficient. Is this an equal or unequal society? Figure 1 represents the diagonal straight line in red and the Lorenz curve in gray.

Q3. Demand is given by (P + 10)(Q + 20) = 1000 and supply by Q − 4P + 10 = 0. Determine the equilibrium, show it graphically as accurately as possible and determine the consumer surplus (round up to the nearest integer). How will this surplus be affected if price increases by 2 and the equilibrium is not realized?

Q4. A firm produces three goods (G1, G2, G3) and sells them in a perfectly competitive market. Table 1 shows the number of units (in thousands) sold of each good along with the total revenue (in 1,000$) the firm raised by these sales in each calendar month of 2019. Find the equilibrium prices of these goods using matrices.

Q5. The demand functions for product A and B are each a function of the prices of A and B and are given by:  经济学数学代考

Determine whether A and B are competitive products, complementary products, or neither.

Q6. Suppose A and B are the only two firms in the market selling the same product. The industry demand for the product is p = 92 − qA − qB Where qA and qB denote the output produced and sold by A and  . Suppose the firms decide to enter into an agreement on output and price control by jointly acting as a monopoly. In this case, we say they enter into collusion. Show that the profit function for the monopoly is given by Π = pqA − cA + pqB − cB Express Π as a function of qA and qB, and determine how output should be allocated so as to maximise the profit of the monopoly

Q7. Pankaj is a junior web developer working for a major company. He divides his income between the consumption of goods x1, x2, and x3 and paying his rent. He can afford to buy one unit of x1 by working for one hour, 1 unit of x2 by working for two hours, and one unit of x3 by working for three hours. His rent costs him
40% of his income.

His utility function is given by:  经济学数学代考

Assuming that Pankaj works for 40 hours a week:

i. Write down Pankaj’s weekly budget constraint and briefly describe his maximisation problem;
ii. Set up the Lagrangian and find how many of x1, x2, and x3 he would consume per week to maximise his well-being;
iii. What is the interpretation of the Lagrange multiplier? What does it tell us in this particular example?

iv. Imagine that the government raises a per-unit tax on good 2, which equals to 50% of its initial price. Discuss how this would change his optimal consumption levels of these three goods.
v. Imagine that Pankaj gets a promotion and becomes as senior web developer, which increases his hourly wage by 50%. Discuss how this would change his optimal consumption levels of these three goods.

Q8. [Video] Please answer to the question below in a short video about 5 minutes. You will need to submit the link to your video via the appropriate submission link on the KEATS page. Explain clearly and in detail, the steps you take to reach the solution. In particular, explain how you set up the question, why you do what you do in each step.

For example, “In this question, we find the optimal levels of consumption of good 1 and good 2 that will maximise the utility of X, which is given
by the function, subject to the following budget constraint. In order to solve this optimisation question, we start by writing the Lagrangian function by doing x and y. Then, we check the firstorder conditions... etc”. The goal here is for you to describe what you are doing and why. You could skip the steps involving manipulation of equations to reach parts of the solution. State clearly your key findings. For example, “By using equation (1) and (2) we can find that the optimal consumption level of good 1 is a and that of good 2 is b”.

Question: There are two goods, A and B, sold in an economy. The supply and demand equations of good A is given by:

PA = QA,S + 20
PA = −2QA,D + 50

The supply and demand equations of good B are given by:
PB = QB,S + 20
PB = −QB,D + 40

The government decides to impose a tax per unit on each good, denoted τA and τB, respectively. The tax is levied on consumers. i. Write down the total government revenue function and find the tax rates τA and τB, imposed on goods A and B respectively, that the government should charge to maximise its revenue? Show that these tax rates indeed maximise the government revenue. ii. Does the government charge the same per-unit tax rate on both goods? If there is a discrepancy, explain why it charges more in a given market than the other, linking your answer to the demand elasticities of the goods.
