Table 3.8 shows information on the demand and supply for bicycles, where the quantities of bicycles are measured in thousands. What is the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at a price of 210? At what price is the quantity supplied equal to 48,000? Graph the demand and supply curve for bicycles. How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from the graph? How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from line table? What HIE die equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? If the price was 120, what would the quantities demanded and supplied he? Would a shortage or surplus exist? If so, how large would the shortage or surplus he?
If the price is above line equilibrium level, would you predict a surplus or a shortage? If line price is below the equilibrium level, would you predict a surplus or a shortage? Why?

1. Create a price ceiling that makes it against the law for landlords to charge more than $1000 per month. 2. Give low-income renters a voucher of $300 that can be used to help pay for housing costs each month. Organize the items according to which idea they are associated with. Associated with the price ceiling Associated with the voucher Answer Bank pushes down housing costs for people who are well-off and рor alike increase the amount of available housing relies upon funding from the government reduce landlords' incentive to spend money on maintenance can be targeted to help specific subsets of the population results in firms having a reduced incentive to build new housing
5. Suppose a technological advance reduces the cost of making computers. (a) Use a supply and demand diagram to show what happens to price, quantity, consumer surplus and pro- ducer surplus in the market for computers. (b) Computers and adding machines are substitutes Use a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happens to price, quantity, consumer surplus and producer surplus in the market for adding machines. Should adding machine producers be happy or sad about the technological advance in computers? (c) Computers and software are complements. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happens to price, quantity, consumer surplus and producer surplus in the mar- ket for software. Should software producers be happy or sad about the technological advance in computers?(d) Does this analysis help explain why software producer Bill Gates is one of the workd's richest men?
4. The market for plastic has been estimated to have these supply and demand relationships: Supply Q = 100P - 1000 Demand Q = 10000 - 100P where P represents price per unit in dollars, and Q represents sales per week in tons. a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantities. b. Determine the amount of shortage or surplus that would develop at P=$40.
