Question: Assuming a Linear Demand Function Qx = 80 - 20Px Identify the Px and Qx tha will maximize the Total Revenue from this Demand Function.

Assuming a Linear Demand Function Qx = 80 - 20Px

Identify the Px and Qx tha will maximize the Total Revenue from this Demand Function.

Qx = 80 and Px = $20

Qx = 40 and Px = $4

Qx = 40 and Px = $2

Qx = 80 and Px = $4

The following are correct statements connected to Tax and Subsidy Incidences, EXCEPT:

The most Inelastic Sector has the Highest Tax Incidence

The most Inelastic Sector has the Highest Subsidy Incidence

The DWL from a Tax is Large if Demand is higly Elastic

The DWL from a Tax is Large if the Supply is highly Inelastic

The following are correct descriptions about the Budget Constraint (BC), as described in class, EXCEPT:

The BC graphically describes all the maximum combinations of X and Y that could be attained for any given set of (I, Px, Py)

In the model presented in lecture, the BC follows the condition:

I = Px Qx + PyQy

If both Px and Py increase in the same propotion, the BC stays the same.

The slope of the BC is the ration of prices (Px/Py)

The following is the KEY reasons why Indifference Curves are typically CONVEX to the origin:

Because X and Y are goods.

Because X and Y are ususally close substitutes.

Because the assumption of decreasing marginal benefit in consumption.

Because the consumer is always indifferent between consuming one unit of X or one unit of Y.
