Answer:
400
Explanation:
Qd = 45 - 2P
Qd = -15 + P
45 - 2P = P - 15
60 = 3P
60/3 = P = 20
Q = 45 - 2*20 = 5
Q = -15+20 = 5
The quantity will be 5 and price 20
<u>Now we will caclulate the consumer surplus:</u>
Which the area of the demand curve above the equilibrium.
We calculate he area of a triangle:
base x high / 2
consumer surplus = 400
Answer:
$22,000
Explanation:
Given that
1st house rented = 10,000
2nd house estimated rent = 12,000
Therefore,
The two houses would contribute
= 10,000 + 12000
= $22,000
Note: Rent is considered as consumption and as a result, rent is added into the GDP. Also, in GDP estimation, imputed rent which is the amount a house owner is willing to rent a house away for if he decides to is calculated as part of the GDP.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
