Assume equations 1 and 2 below were estimated from the data gathered that will represent the demand and supply functions respectively of an individual buyer and seller respectively for product X. Eq. 1 Eq. 2 Qdx = 65,000 – 11.25Px + 15P, – 3.751 + 7.5A Q5x = 7,500 + 14.25Px – 15P, – 3.75C where Px - price of product X; Py – price of product Y; I – average consumer's income; A advertising expenditure; Pz – price of product Z; and C – cost of production. Use the following additional information: the price of a related product, Y, is P41.25; the average consumer's income is P12,000; advertising expenditure is P2,500; the price of product Z is P90; and the cost of production is P1,200. There are 30 identical buyers and 50 identical sellers in the market for product X.


Extracted text: A. Is product X a normal or an inferior product? Justify. B. How are product X and product Y related for the buyer? Explain. C. On the part of the seller, what kind product Z is? D. Using the market demand function, what is Px that will make all the buyers stop purchasing this product? Round-up to two decimals. E. What is the interpretation of the parameter a of the market demand function? F. What is the interpretation of the parameter b of the market demand function? G. What is the interpretation of the parameter d of the market supply function? H. What is the market price of product X? Round-up to two decimals. I. What is the equilibrium quantity in this market? J. What is the price range that will result to a surplus in the market? K. What is the price range that will result to a shortage in the market? If the government will intervene in this market and imposes that the minimum price will be 20% more than the market price, L. How much would be the quantity demanded? Round-up to two decimals. M. How much would be the quantity supplied? Round-up to two decimals. N. From L and M, what is the condition in the market? Explain concisely. If the new supply equation will be Qs'x = 26,250 + 712.50P'x, o. What would be the new equilibrium price (round-up to two decimals)? P. How many of this product will be bought and sold at this new market price? Round-up to two decimals. Q. What is the specific reason for this change in supply?
