The following equations describe the supply and demand for crude oil in the United States in the mid-1980s: (Quantity supplied =

"S") (Quantity demanded = "D") S = -2 + (1/2)P S = 15 - (1/4)P Where price (P) is given in dollars and quantity in millions of barrels per day. The domestic equilibrium price is $22.67 per barrel with 9.3 million barrels traded per day. If the world price is below this equilibrium price, a domestic shortage will develop. We can deal with this shortage by purchasing crude oil from foreign suppliers. Determine the quantity of imports when the world price is $11.00 per barrel.

Answer: The equilibrium price is $68, Quantity 32 million barrel, The quantity to import is 53 million barrel

Explanation:

Given that D = -2 + (1/2)P, S = 15 - (1/4)P

At equilibrium Qd = Qs

-2 + (1/2)P = 15 - (1/4)P

Change 1/2 P and 1/4 P to decimal we have 0.5, and 0.25 respectively

Collect like terms

-2 -15 = 0.25P - 0.5P

17 = 0.25P

Divide both sides by P

17/0.25 = 0.25P /0.25

68 = P

P = 68

Substitute the value of P into equation 1 and 2 determine the value of Q

-2 + 0.5 (68)

-2 + 34

= 32

15 - 0.25 (68)

15 + 17

= 32

To determine the quantity to import when world price is $11.00 per barrel ,substitute the value into equation 1

-2 + 0.5 (11)

-2 + 55

= 53

Therefore quantity to import is 53 millions barrel

David paid $975,000 for two beachfront lots in coastal South Carolina, with the intention of building residential homes on each.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Yes South Carolina would be compensating David as his property is now economically valueless.  

Explanation:  

Under the taking clause, 'The Beachfront Management Act was properly and validly designed to preserve South Carolina's beaches', which means that no one will be allowed to do any development project near beaches in order to save the beaches.  

Though it is already written in the Act, The Beachfront Management Act barred any further development on the coasts of Carolina, which makes the purchased property of David as economically valuless, so South Carolina would be compensating him as the law has passed and they won't allow further development but they need to compensate the people who purchased the property on the beaches for the purpose of future business.
