    In the Insomnia Coffee Shop the inverse demand function for chocolate muffins is P = 20 – 2Q. To produce muffins the Coffee Shop has a fixed cost of €30 and a variable cost of €4 per unit produced. The firm breaks even earning zero profit at the output level(s):
    Answer
    A.
    Q = 10 and Q = 4
    B.
    Q = 3 and Q = 5
    C.
    Q = 0
    D.
    Q = 30
    E.
    None of these



    Question 2

    In a market, the demand function is given by Q = 50 – P and the supply function is given by Q = 20 + 2P.
    The government now imposes a tax on suppliers of t per unit sold.
    In the new market equilibrium with the tax imposed, what share of the tax is paid by the consumer?
    Answer
    A.
    Half of the tax is paid by the consumer
    B.
    None of these
    C.
    Quarter of the tax is paid by the consumer
    D.
    None of the tax is paid by the consumer
    E.
    All the tax is paid by the consumer

    Question 3

    The demand function for a good is given by QD = 150 – 5P + ½ Y , where P is price and Y is income. The Supply function is given by QS = 5P. The market equilibrium price and quantity is then,
    Answer
    A.
    P = 15 + 1/20 Y and Q = 75 + ¼ Y
    .
    B.
    P = 15 + ½ Y and Q = 75 + 5/2 Y
    .
    C.
    There is no equilibrium in this market
    .
    D.
    None of these
    .
    E.
    P = 15 – 1/20 Y and Q = 75 – ¼ Y
    .

    Question 4

    The demand and supply functions for a good are given as Q = 200 – 2P and Q = –20 + 2P, respectively.
    The government now imposes a tax on suppliers of 10 per unit sold.
    Which of the following statements is TRUE in the new market equilibrium?
    Answer
    A.
    The price that consumers pay will be the same as the price that suppliers receive
    B.
    Consumers will pay a price of 60
    C.
    Suppliers will receive a price of 60
    D.
    None of these statements are true
    E.
    The tax will be paid entirely by the Suppliers

    Question 5

    The equilibrium Price and Quantity levels in a market with a supply function Q = 10 + ½ P and an inverse demand function P = 200 – 2Q are:
    Answer
    A.
    P = 200 and Q = 10
    B.
    P = 90 and Q = 55
    C.
    P = 76 and Q = 48
    D.
    There is no equilibrium in this market
    E.
    None of these

    It's Sunday night, you had a full week to do it

    The lecturer did some examples of them in class that are pretty much step by step how to do it.
    Use those

    I've never seen that crap before and I have no idea how you can't solve it. It's basic math.

    Either

    1) Get out of economics before you destroy a country.

    2) Join Fianna Fail. You may actually bring up the intelligence of the party


  • Registered Users Posts: 162 ✭✭Durz0 Blint


    wtf I feel for ppl who like myself have to work and go to college so i'll give some tips.

    Do you have the quants book, it has several examples of step by step how to do these exact problems. Flick through the chapters about this stuff and you will get these done in no time if you follow the examples.

    You just need to grow a pair and go for it, to stand on the side lines, is to see the game happening but you are not involved, the worst thing you will hear is no, be strong, win.
