The domestic demand (Qpp) for wheat in the United States is estimated to be QDD=1430-55P, where the quantity of wheat is measured in millions of bushels per year. Suppose China also demands U.S. wheat (Qpc) and that its demand is given by QDc=1920-60P. What is the total demand for U.S. wheat, assuming the only two sources of demand are domestic and Chinese? The total demand for U.S. wheat is OA. Qp =3350-115P for all P. O B. Q =3350-115P for P≤ $26 and Qp = 1920-60P for P> $26. OC. Q=1920-60P for all P. O D.

Consider the markets for cell phones and landline telephone service in France. Presume that when the average income of residents of Lyon is 27,500€ per year, the quantity demanded of landline telephone service is 6,250 and the quantity demanded of an unlimited cell phone is 14,000. When the price of unlimited mobile service increases from 50€ to 60€ per month, the quantity demanded of landline service decreases to 5,500. Furthermore, presume that when the average income increases to 30,000€, the quantity demanded of unlimited mobile service increases to 16,500. a) According to the given information, what type of good is unlimited mobile telephone service? How do you know? Briefly explain.
The major BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico substantially reduced the harvest of shrimp and other seafood in the Gulf, but had limited impact on the prices that U.S. consumers paid in 2010 (Emmeline Zhao, “Impact on Seafood Prices Is Limited,", Wall Street Journal, June 20, 2010). The reason was that the United States imports about 83% of its seafood and only 2% of domestic supplies come from the Gulf. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to illustrate what happened.
Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?
The demand for Australian-made motorcycles in Japan is given by: Japanese demand = 10000 –0.001(price of Australian motorcycles in yen). Similarly, the demand for Japanese-made motorcycles in Australia is: Australian demand = 30 000 –0.2(price of Japanese motorcycles in dollars). The domestic price of an Australian-made motorcycle is $20 000, and the domestic price of a Japanese-made motorcycle is ¥2 500 000. From the perspective of Australia, find the real exchange rate in terms of motorcycles and net exports of motorcycles to Japan, if: a) the nominal exchange rate is 100 yen per dollar b) the nominal exchange rate is 125 yen per dollar. c) How does an appreciation of the dollar affect Australian net exports of motorcycles (considering only the Japanese market)?
Suppose a decrease in the world demand for desktop computers causes the price of desktop computers to fall from $600 to $500. Before the fall in demand, Juna, a local computer dealer in Japan, used to produce 9,000 desktop computers and exported 50 percent of it to other countries every week. However, after the fall in demand, Juna reduced its production to 8,000 units and exports only 40 percent of its total output.a. What are the changes in the quantity sold to domestic consumersb. What are the changes in the consumer surplus?c. Sketch a diagram to illustrate the changes for Juna.
During the 1980s, most of the world’s supply of lysine was produced by a Japanese company named Ajinomoto. Lysine is an essential amino acid that is an important livestock feed component. At this time, the United States imported most of the world’s supply of lysine—more than 30,000 tons—to use in livestock feed at a price of $1.65 per pound. The worldwide market for lysine, however, fundamentally changed in 1991 when U.S.-based Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) began producing lysine—a move that doubled worldwide production capacity. Experts conjectured that Ajinomoto and ADM had similar cost structures and that the marginal cost of producing and distributing lysine was approximately $0.70 per pound. Despite ADM’s entry into the lysine market, suppose demand remained constant at Q = 208 − 80P (in millions of pounds). Shortly after ADM began producing lysine, the worldwide price dropped to $0.70. By 1993, however, the price of lysine shot back up to $1.65. Use the theories discussed in this…
With the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same. As a result, what can we expect in the market for rice, used by many as a staple instead of wheat? a) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will decrease b) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will increase c) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will increase d) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will decrease
In a city with a medium sized population, the equilibrium price for a city bus ticket is $1, and the number of riders each day is 9400. The short-run price elasticity of demand is -0.5, and the short-run elasticity of supply is 1. If the demand for bus tickets increased by 10% because of a rise in the world price of oil, what would be the new equilibrium price of bus tickets? (Hint: For each price, the quantity demanded is now 10% higher) New equilibrium price: __1__

PLEASE ANSWER AND EXPLAIN NUMBER 2 AND 3Suppose that the world demand and supply elasticities of crude oil are -0.906 and 0.515, respectively. The current equilibrium price is $30 per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is 16.88 billion barrels per year. Derive the linear demand and supply equations. Now suppose the world supply curve you derived above consists of competitive supply and OPEC supply. If the competitive supply equation is: SC = 7.78 + 0.29P, what must be OPEC's level of production in this equilibrium? Now suppose social and political unrest in some non-OPEC producing countries reduced the competitive supply by 30 percent, what happens to the world price of crude oil?
