9. Market erriciency and market failure Suppose that the following graph shows a free market equilibrium, with QE as the equilibrium quantity. PRICE * QUANTITY For an output level above Qg, the value of a unit to a buyer is Supply Demand ? the cost of a unit to a seller. Suppose a firm that produces for this market is able to dump toxic chemicals into a river next to its factory, which poisons wildlife and harms the health of nearby residents, who have no business with the company. This scenario is characterized by which is an example of 7

Suppose goods X and Y are complimentary products. Which of the following are correct with respect to the competitive market model of supply and demand? (check all that apply) an increase in the price of good Y will cause an increase in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y an increase in the price of good Y will cause a decrease in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause a decrease in demand for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause an increase in demand for good Y
Suppose production is reduced by 60 percent for each of the suppliers in this industry. Draw a new market curve and answer the following questions based on your new supply curve and the original demand curve. In Table 3.1, the equilibrium market quantity would be Table 3,3 Individual Demand and Supply Schedules.

Suppose you discover a stream in northern Minnesota whose water has amazing powers for healing. You decide to sell bottles of the water. The market demand curve is linear and is given as follows: P = 30 - Q The marginal cost to produce this amazing water is $3 per bottle. a. In a competitive market, what price would this water sell for and how much would you sell? Show your calculations. P = _____, Q = ______ b. After taking this class, you realize that you have monopoly power in this market. To maximize your profits, what quantity would you sell and what would the price per bottle be? (Hint: what is marginal revenue for a monopolist?) Show your calculations. Pm = ____, Qm = ____ c. Now draw a graph to the right with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis and show the competitive market solution and the monopoly output and prices.
Suppose that the cost of crude oil decreases from $25 to $20 for each barrel of heating oil produced. Assuming that the rest of the determinants of supply and demand for heating oil remain equal to their initial values, the market will eventually reach a new equilibrium price of per barrel.

14. Over the past few year’s consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called ‘pickle ball’ have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand – and higher pay – for professional pickle ball players. All of the above. B and D only

The following table shows their monthly supply schedules: Price (Dollars per cone) PRICE (Dollars per cone) 6 5 2 0 1 0 2 3 4 5 Paolo's Quantity Supplied (Cones) 0 On the following graph, plot Paolo's supply of ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon's supply of ice cream using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of ice cream cones using the orange points (square symbol).

As a result, there will be a the market supply curve because there will be a change in quantity supplied
1. Consider two companies involved in the supply chain: a retailer who faces customer demand and a manufacturer who produces and sells ski jackets to the retailer. It costs the manufacturer $30 to manufacture and ship each ski jacket. The retailer plans to sell the ski jacket for $300. At this price, demand for the ski jackets is estimated to be 10000 units with a 20 percent chance of happening, 9000 units with a 40 percent chance of happening, and 8000 units with a 40 percent chance of happening. Any ski jacket not sold during the ski season is sold to a discount store for $20. We refer to this value as the salvage value. Both the manufacturer and the retailer can sell the ski jackets they still have on hand after season for this salvage value. (a) Suppose the manufacturer sells to the retailer at $80/unit. How many ski jackets should the retailer order? How much profit does the retailer expect to make as a result? How much profit will the manufacturer make as a result? (b)What is the…
