Economics Assignment



Question 1:
i)                    Answer:
Q =?
Price per minute = $2.00
Yearly demand is: P = 11 - 0.1Q
    2 = 11 - 0.1Q
    2 – 11 = -0.1Q
   -9 = -0.1Q
    9/0.1 = Q
    90 = Q
Hence, 90 minutes of calls would he or she make under plan.
ii)           Answer:
i)             Consumer surplus calculation for Price (P=$2 per minute)
Y intercept where quantity equals to zero
Q = 0
P = 11 – 0.1(0)
P=11    à Y Intercept
Maximum price consumer will pay = Q x $2
=90 x $2 = $180
Hence consumer surplus would be = 1/2 x height x base



 













                                                                    




= ½ x 11 x 180 = 990
ii)           Consumer surplus calculation for Price (P=$129 flat charge per year)
                Y intercept where quantity equals to zero
Q = 0
P = 11 – 0.1(0)
P=11    à Y Intercept
Maximum price consumer will pay = $129
Hence consumer surplus would be = 1/2 x height x base



 













                                                                    




= ½ x 11 x 129 = 709.5


Question 1b:
Data:
Qd = 700 - 2P          
Qs = 100 + 4P
100 + 4P = 700 – 2P
4P + 2P = 700 – 100
6P = 600 or P = 100
Q = 700 – 2(100) = 500
By adding government imposed price ceiling $50, new price should be: P= 100 + $50 = $150
Qd = 700 – 2(150) = 700 – 300 = 400
Change in Qd = 500 – 400 = 100



 














                                                                    



Deadweight loss = area of triangle S=ah/2 by calculus (integration) = 100*50/2 = 2500
The magnitude of the deadweight loss depends on how much the quantity supplied and quantity demanded respond to changes in the price.
Suppose a price floor of $300
Qs = Qd + 900
100 + 4P = 700 – 2P + 300
100 -700 - 300 = -4P -2P
- 900 = -6P or 150 = P
Hence price floor of $300 will result in same magnitude of deadweight loss with P = $150 and Change in Qd = 100.
Question 2: Answer
For the examination, we expect the most elevated conceivable levy edge and that the duty is completely gone through to import costs. Given that Vietnam represents over a large portion of U.S. catfish imports, import costs would increment by around 35 percent if all imports from Vietnam were evaluated a tax of 63.88 percent. The impact of the real levies on import costs is likely much littler; nonetheless, as the outcomes will show, even with the most elevated conceivable edge and biggest import cost build, the advantage to the U.S. catfish industry is still moderately humble.
Given the levy or inconvenience of antidumping obligations of somewhere around 34% and 64% in 2003, imports of pangasius dropped from 46 million pounds in 2002 to 37.5 million pounds in 2005. By 2008, nonetheless, imports of "catfish" (from Vietnam and different nations) had come to 110 million pounds. U.S. generation, then, has kept on sliding, from a crest of 660 million pounds in 2003 to 480 million pounds in 2009.Following are the conceivable approach impacts on U.S cost of catfish:
A.      Changes in Catfish food costs
B.      Effects of TCI promoting consumptions
C.      Effects of different hostile to dumping tax levels
D.     Effect of COOL (Country of Origin Labeling)
E.      Changes in U.S. every capita pay
F.       Changes in return rates with U.S. $
The conceivable impacts of catfish evaluating on U.S economy will be as taking after:
·         COOL will advantage U.S. homestead raised catfish possibly, however hurt channel catfish imports essentially and bring about an increment in U.S. customers and ranchers' excess; nonetheless, U.S. processors' surplus will decay insignificantly as indicated in figure underneath:

·         Increment in U.S. every capita salary would have a positive effect on the catfish business in general, with a more noteworthy positive effect on imported channel catfish and imported basa/tra.
·         Expanded Exchange Rate Vietnam versus U.S (VND/USD) will come about as taking after:
Ø  Increase basa/tra imports.
Ø  Decrease channel catfish import.
Ø  Marginally extend U.S. farm raised market of catfish.
