1. Using the data in the table below, plot the points to construct the demand curve for ice-cream. Quantity |(Qd) 10 Price 100 200 300 8 400 500 4 (a) Describe the shape of the curve giving reason for your answer. (b) Using a separate curve, illustrate and explain what happened to the demand for ice- cream when prices decrease from $300 to $100. (c) Using a separate curve, illustrate and explain what happened to the demand for ice- cream when price increased from $200 to $500.

Explain the general determinants in one paragraph. GENERAL DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND• Good’s own price (P) is the key determinant of demand• Other determinants of demand:1. Level of income (Y) of the potential purchasers of the good or service.a. Normal good – a good in which an increase in income raises its sales.b. Inferior good – a good in which an increase in income causes a reduction in spending.2. Prices of related goodsa. Substitute good – a good in which can substitute for another good (competitor’sgood). An increase in the price of the substitute good or service causes an increase indemand for the another good.b. Complementary good – a good that complements with another good. That is, anincrease in demand for one causes an increase in demand for the other. An increase inthe price of a complementary good reduces demand for the another good.3. Population (number of consumers that consume goods/services)4. Tastes and preferences5. Consumer’s expectation towards future market…
Question 4 (Figure: Demand for Tuna Sandwiches) The graph shows Beatriz's weekly demand for tuna sandwiches. Tuna Sandwiches Price per sandwich $165 $12 $8 $4 0 Beatriz's individual demand curve Quantity of sandwiches (per week) If she orders three tuna sandwiches per week, what can we infer? The price of a tuna sandwich is no higher than $4. Beatriz's demand for tuna has shifted. O For Beatriz, tuna sandwiches are a normal good. O For Beatriz, tuna sandwiches are an inferior good.
Suppose both the demand for olives and the supply of olives decline by equal amounts over some time period. Use graphical analysis to show the effect on equilibrium price and quantity. Instructions: On the graph below, use your mouse to click and drag the supply and demand curves as necessary. D1 Quantity of olives Price of olives
TOPIC: Supply and demandIn the market for widgets, the supply and demand curve are “normal” 45° lines. The equilibrium price is £5 and the equilibrium quantity is 10 widgets. Show in a new graph how your answers would change if the supply curve was infinitely inelastic.
10. If supply changes from S2 to S1 and demand changes from D1 to D2 (a) equilibrium price falls to $ 14. (b) equilibrium quantity increases to 16. (c) equilibrium price increases to $19. (d) supply has increased. 11. if demand changed from D1 to D2 as a result of an increase in buyers' income this product is (a) a normal good. (b) a free good. (c) an inferior good. (d) a complementary good. 12. If demand for this product changed from D2 to D1 as a result of a increase in price of a related product, then these two products are (a) complements. (b) inferior goods. (c) economic goods. (d) substitutes. (e) public goods.

Think Critically a. Use the data below to construct a demand curve for pizza. Price Quantity 14 100 12 200 10 300 8 400 6 500 b. Explain two (2) reasons why the demand curve has a negative slope. c. For each of the following situations relating to the demand for pizza. identify the factor affecting demand demonstrate on the axes provided, and explain, the effects of the change. (I)an increase in the price of hamburgers Factor: ___________________________________ Explanation: ______________________________ (II) a media report announces that eating pizza increases the risk of heart disease Factor: ___________________________________ Explanation: ______________________________ d. What role does price play in the market and how does the type of market impact on the determination of price?
1. Answer both parts of this question. (a) Define the price elasticity of demand and briefly discuss its economic meaning. (b) For demand function x = Ap, show that price elasticity is equal to -7.
Quantity Demanded 45,000 37,000 Price of Strawberries (p) 5 10 20 26,000 30 20,000 40 15,000 50 10,000 1. Using the table above plot the information and draw the demand curve for strawberries 2. Use the graph to estimate the demand for strawberries if the price was: a) 15 b) 35 c) 60 3. If the producers were interesting in selling a set amount of produce rather than looking to revenue maximise, what should they charge to sell a) 23,000 b) 40,000 4. If the producers wanted to revenue maximise how many strawberries should they produce and at what price should they sell 5. Explain why the demand curve for strawberries slopes downwards?
5. Assume a product's demand is Price = -(3/4) * Quantity + 12 [or P = -(3/4)*Q+12]. Fill in the demand schedule (i.e., pick quantities [0, 4, 8, 12 etc.] and find the associated prices) and plot demand on the graph (also label graph axes with the traditional measures for demand graphs) Page 3 Quantity Price 13 12 11 10 9- 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22
