Suppose a coalition of students from Lincoln High School succeeds in persuading the local government to impose a price ceiling o

f $11.00 on used DVDs, on the grounds that local suppliers are taking advantage of teenagers by charging exorbitant prices. a. Calculate the weekly shortage of used DVDs that will result from this policy. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. used DVDs. b. Calculate the new consumer surplus, the new producer surplus, and the total economic surplus lost every week as a result of the price ceiling.

Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details

answer :

A) 16 used DVDs

B) i) $18

   ii) $6

   iii) $8

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11</u>

shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )

at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4

                = 20 - 4  = 16 used DVDs

B) i) <em>New consumer surplus = ADLK </em>

ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD

          = 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18

<em>ii) New producer surplus = DLE </em>

DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )

       = $6

<em> iii) Total economic surplus lost </em>

ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )

         = $8

Data Analysis:

1. Motor Van £8,000 Motor running expense £8,000

Depreciation expense  £1,600 Accumulated depreciation £1,600 ( £8,000 x 20%)

2. Cost of goods sold £3,000 Inventory £3,000

3. Drawings  £4,000 Inventory  £4,000

4. Loan  £2,200 Cash  £2,200

<u>Adjustment of Profit</u>

Profit before the errors  £112,000

Adjustments:

Motor running expense   £8,000

Depreciation expense    (£1,600)

Cost of goods sold         (£3,000)

Adjusted profit            £115,400

Thus, the adjusted profit is now £115,400.

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is  less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

<u>(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]  </u>

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>1.21 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>0.77 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.

Lino is a linebacker on his college football team. He is concerned about achieving adequate hydration during intense, hot summer
dybincka [34]

Answer:

C) 14 cups of water

Explanation:

Athletes should consume between 2 to 3 cups of water or other fluids (like Gatorade) for every pound lost in order to prevent dehydration.

If Lino losses 5 pounds during practice, he should drink between 10 to 15 cups of water. Option C, with 14 cups of water is the only option that falls in that range.
