● . Assume in a simple example that two changes occur simultaneously in an economy which produces "Good X". The economic changes that occurs in the market are: 1) An increase in the cost to produce "Good X", and 2) An increase in income for consumers who purchase "Good X". Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for "Good X"? Finally real life
Provide a definition of each of the following, and the required example, explanation, or graph. A Production Possibility Curve, a definition and a graph showingan increasing opportunity cost of producing Product A as a company produces more of Product B. Changes in quantity demanded vs. changes in market demand (the definition of each and a single graph showing each change). A shift in the market supply curve (definition and graph).

Suppose that price of steel, a major input for making cars, increased. Using two separate competitive supply/demand diagrams for cars market, and gas market, illustrate and briefly explain the probable effects of the increase in the price of steel on: equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantities, in the cars and gas markets. What happen to the revenues of car, and gas producers/sellers? [Hint: Car and gas are complements. First show how an increase in price of steel will affect the car market. Then based on what happens to car prices, determine what will happen to the gas market] U X2 x2 E E A- I X 山T國 étv MacBook Pro
Illustrate the following with supply and demand curves: In March 2015, hogs in the United States were selling for 81 cents per pound, up from 58 cents per pound a year before. This was due primarily to the fact that supply had decreased during the period. Show this change in the figure on the right. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the equilibrium point for 2015 in the U.S. hog market. Label your point 'E'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the change in the U.S. hog market between 2014 and 2015. Properly label your line 'S2015' (Hint: Perform the steps in the order given.) Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects.

Qustion 15: Suppose that we are considering the market for a good that is a Giffen Good. We are thinking about a world of Supply and Demand. Very importantly, the demand curve is more inelastic than the supply curve. Suppose that the price of capital increases, and production of the good gets more expensive. What would we expect to happen to the market price and quantity (p* and Q*)? [Hint: this is a supply and demand question, not a question about the cost curves. I would suggest drawing it out.] A. Price will increase. Quantity will increase. B. Price will increase. Quantity will decrease. C. Price will decrease. Quantity will increase. D. Price will decrease. Quantity will decrease.

Suppose the Canadian government has decided to place an excise tax of $20 per tire on producers of automobile tires. Excise taxes are also called sales or commodity taxes. Previously, there was no excise tax on automobile tires. As a result of the excise tax, producers of tires, such as Bridgestone and Michelin, are going to alter their tire prices. The graph illustrates the demand and supply curves for automobile tires before the excise tax. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to demonstrate the impact of the new tax. 150 140 130 120 Price 888 110 100 90 Supply 80 00 60 50 ° 1 2 3 4 5 Quantity What is the price consumers pay for a tire post tax?
