7. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand Suppose that the turkey industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 300 million pounds per year. Suppose hat the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announces that a chemical found in turkey is causing bacterial infections to spread around the world. The CDC's announcement will cause consumers to demand turkey at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the CDC's announcement. 10 Supply Demand 7 Supply 4 Demand 60 120 180 240 300 360 420 480 540 600 QUANTITY (Millions of pounds) PRICE (Dollars per pound)

3. Demand and supply of cigarettes in California are: Supply: Qs = 2Ps + 20 Demand: QD = 200 – PD Calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity, assuming perfect competition. a. b. California decides to tax on cigarettes to fund preschool. It recognizes that a secondary benefit of the tax would be to reduce teen smoking. Suppose taxes of $15 per carton are placed on the consumption of cigarettes. By how much will the tax increase the price consumers pay? By how much will it decrease the price producers receive?
Question 1: Hotelling’s Rule in a rapidly changing market Let’s assume that oil was not discovered until the year 1999. The New York Times writes that“a source of energy with potential disruptive effects on the world economy” is now ready forproduction, and “other countries are watching the developments closely”.Along with many other producers, you own a small oil well. The market is very competitive. Themarginal extraction cost is $10 per barrel. The interest rate is 5%. The annual demand for oil isQ = 90,000 – 2,000P where Q is in barrels per year and P is in dollars per barrel.Use your knowledge about Hotelling’s Rule to answer the following questions: Oil is trading for $25/bbl on Jan 1st, 1999. What do you expect the path of oil pricesand extraction quantities to be from 1999-2010 (assuming no shocks to the market)?A day later, on Jan 2nd, 1999, the Wall Street Journal opens with a story that there is now amore reliable reserves estimate. Total reserves are estimated at 760,000…

1. The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = -0.01x² - 0.2x + 10 where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. The supply function is given by p = 0.01x² + 0.2x + 4 where p is the unit price in dollars and x stands for the quantity that will be made available in the market by the supplier, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the producers' surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
