Q4. The market demand for bread is given by Q D = 36 - 4p and the market supply of bread is given by Qs = Ep where p is a price of bread and Q is the quantity in millions. (a) Suppose Ann spends $24 on bread and milk a week and her utility from the consumption of bread and milk measured in dollars are given below. Note: Ann is a price taker. If the market price of milk is $4 per bottle, what is Ann's optimal consumption bundle. Illustrate it in an appropriate diagram. [7] Bread Utility Milk Utility 32 20 60 2 39 84 57 104 73 20 88 132 102 114 125 135 10 143 (b) Suppose Ann's income goes up to $40 a week. Show a new optimal consumption bundle on the diagram. Are they normal goods? Calculate the income elasticity of demand for bread and milk. [7] (c) Assume the market for bread is perfectly competitive, constant-cost industry and is in its long-run equilibrium. Then, the government imposes a unit-tax of $0.5 per bread for producers. Illustrate the impact of tax in a market diagram and do a welfare analysis. How could this affect Ann's consumption choice? [12]
