Question

1. Suppose the supply curve with no quota is

Q No Quota=-10 + 0.5p

and the market supply with a quota is

Q Quota=0.5 + 0.25p.

Output (Q) is in thousands of units.

Assuming an inverse demand curve of p = 80-2Q, what will be the effect of a binding quota on equilibrium price and quantity?

A. Price rises by $2.67 and output falls by 1.33 thousand.

B. Price falls by $5 and output falls by 2 thousand.

C. Price falls by $1.33 and output rises by 2.67 thousand.

D. Price rises by $5 and output falls by 2 thousand.

E. Price falls by $3 and output rises by 1.25 thousand.

F. Price rises by $5 and output rises by 2 thousand.

2.

A. The elasticity of supply varies only along the upward-sloping linear supply curves.

B. The elasticity of supply varies along most supply curves.

C. The elasticity of supply is constant along most supply curves.

D. None of the above.

3.

A. When I> 1, supply is considered elastic.

B. When 0<I< 1, supply is considered inelastic.

C. When I = 1, supply is considered unit elastic.

D. All of the above.

E. None of the above.
