Consider the following economy

a. Find the equilibrium income and interest rate. 

b. What is the value of the multiplier? 

c. How much does a unit change in G change the equilibrium income and interest rate?

d. How much does a unit change in M/P change theequilibrium Income and interest rate?

You are the manager of a firm that receive revenue of Rs.30,000 per year from product X and Rs. 70,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 and the cross price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is 1.1. How much will you firm’s total revenue (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 present?

Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is 2, its income elasticity is 3, its advertising elasticity is 4, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y

is 6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: (a) The price of good X increased by 5 percent, (b) the price of good Y increase by 10 percent, (c) Advertising decreases by 2 present, (d) income falls by 3 percent.

You are a member of Board who chairs an ad committee of reforming taxes on telecommunication services. The local telecom tax es can amount to as much as 25 percent of a consumer’s phone bill. The high rates on telecom services have become quite controversial, due to the fact that the deregulation of the telecom industry has led to a highly competitive market. Your best estimates indicate that, based on current tax rates, the monthly market demand for telecommunication services is given by Q=250-5P and the market supply (including taxes) is Q=4P+110 (both in million). The Board of management is considering tax reform that would dramatically cut tax rates, leading to the supply function under the new tax policy of Q=4.171P+110. How much money would typical consumer save each month as a result of proposed legislation?
