i only need help with 42-50 I know the rest, but figured some some questions need other info to answer.

Demand_and_Supply_(Coke_and_Pepsi)

The following 15 questions refer to the following scenario:

The quantity demanded function for Coca-Cola (Coke), which is a normal good, is

QD=3 _(a.)_ 0.5PCoke_(b.)_ 4PPepsi_(c.)_ 10PStraws_(d.)_ 0.01Y

where

QD= Quantity demanded for Coca-Cola

PCoke= Price of Coca-Cola

PPepsi= Price of Pepsi (a substitute)

PStraws= Price of straws (a complement)

Y = Income

The quantity supplied function of Coca-Cola is

QS=3 _(e.)_ 1PCoke_(f.)_ 3PWater_(g.)_ 0.5T

where

QS= Quantity supplied of Coca-Cola

PCoke= Price of Coca-Cola

PWater= Price of water (an input factor)

T= Taxes on the supply of Coca-Cola

The letters is brackets refer to questions one to seven and are placeholders for mathematical signs.
