Domestic demand for fidget spinners in the domestic economy
Domestic demand for fidget spinners in the domestic economy is characterized by the equation P=100?2Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation Q=P?10, and the world price is equal to 30. Then the production subsidy of 5 per unit will:
| a) change nothing |
Solution
Initial supply equation is as follows -
Q = P - 10
At world price of 30, domestic production was,
Q = P - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20
Now, a production subsidy of 5 is being provided.
New supply equation is as follows -
Q = P - 10 + 5
Q = P - 5
Domestic production now at world price,
Q = 30 - 5 = 25
So, production subsidy results in domestic production of 25.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).
