Determine the price in period 1 (the future) if 30 units of oil are consumed in period 0 (the present).

Answer 1

Answer:

$16.50

Explanation:

Note: The complete question is attached as picture below

We know that there is a total of 90 units of oil and 30 units is consumed in period 0.

So, in period 1, the consumption amount will be = 90-30=60 units.

So, Q1 = 192 - 8P

For 60 units, the price will be 60 = 192 - 8P

8P = 192 - 60

8P = 132

P = 132 / 8

P = 16.5

So, the price in period 1 is $16.50
