A supply curve for tomato production is given by Q = 35P - 5. Something causes the supply curve to change to Q = 35P -10. This is most consistent with: Increase in imports of tomatoes from Italy Decrease in the opportunity cost of growing zucchini Better production technology to grow tomatoes A government policy that prohibits new tomato farms Reductions in wages of tomato harvesters

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
Which of the following will not shift the supply curve to the left? a) an increase in wages paid to workers b) a decrease in the number of sellers C) an increase in the cost of production d) a decrease in cost of production
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.
Assume your theater will not sell a ticket for less than 80% of regular price $$$ (my assigned price is 145), but will sell one ticket for one performance at 80% of regular price plus $5 and two performances for 80% of regular price plus $10 for each ticket, for small numbers of movies, x, the theater’s supply curve is modeled by p=S(x). Write down your supply function. Find the equilibrium point. (make sure to provide both x and y coordinates and label it on the graph)
Market for ABC company’s clothing ABC clothing company produces clothing that is sold online and in catalogs, which is catered to a lower income consumer. Suppose the company’s demand curve for 2019 was the following: Qd = 2000 – 150P +1.1A + 15PDEF And the company’s supply curve was Qs = 250 + 5P, where Qd is the quantity of product demanded for ABC company clothing P = the average price of goods produced by ABC company A = Advertising expenditures in dollars PDEF = the average price of DEF clothing, a competitor’s clothing, in dollars Qs is the quantity of product supplied for ABC company’s clothing Calculate the price elasticity of demand for good ABD. Based on your answer, if the company increases prices, what will happen to total revenue?
Suppose the demand function for avocados is Q=104-40p + 20p₁ +0.01Y, where p is the price of avocados, p, is the price of tomatoes, and Y is average income, and the supply function for avocados is where p, is the price of fertilizer. Suppose p = $0.80, Y = $4,000, and p = $0.40. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of avocados? The equilibrium price of avocados is and the equilibrium quantity is Q=58+15p -20pf, and the equilibrium quantity is p=$2 Q = 80 units. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government charges a $2.20 specific tax per avocado to be paid by consumers. With the tax, the equilibrium price of avocados is p=$ Q= units.
Dominos Pizza is trying to attract pizza delivery drivers away from Pizza Hut by offering them hourly wages above the current market wage (assumed to be $8 per hour). If the correct supply price elasticity for delivery drivers is 3.0 and Dominos wants to increase its delivery personnel by 15 percent, then they must increase their hourly wage from $8/hour to: $8.40/hour $8.80/hour $9.00/hour $9.40/hour
The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for a group of recent graduates looking to sell used air fryers. Each seller has only a single used air fryer available for sale. Think of each rectangular area beneath the supply curve as the "cost," or minimum price that each seller is willing to accept. Assume that anyone who has a cost that equals the market price is willing to sell their used air fryer. 180 150 PRICE (Dollars per used air fryer) 60 60 90 90 120 30 0 0 ㅁ Raphael Y X ☐ Susan ☐ Clancy ☐ Becky Alex ㅁㅁ Eileen +> 1 2 3 4 5 6 QUANTITY (Used air fryers) Region X (the purple shaded area) represents total producer surplus when the market price is equal to $ area) represents when the market price , while Region Y (the grey shaded In the following table, indicate which statements are true or false based on the information provided on the previous graph.

Suppose the demand curve for cars in former Czechoslovakia was characterized by the equation QD = 2000 − 40P , and the supply curve QS = 20P − 400.
Suppose the supply of apple pickers in Southwest Michigan can be expressed by the equation Qs=2/15(W-10) . An apple farmer advertises a wage of $100 per day to pick apples; however, when the day of the harvest arrives the farmer tells those assembled at the orchard that only 10 pickers are needed, and, as more than 10 pickers showed up looking for work, the wage will fall to the equilibrium. How many pickers showed up to work the apple harvest? What is the equilibrium wage offered by the farmer? Graph the supply of and demand for labor at the orchard, indicating the equilibrium price. Calculate the pickers’ total producer surplus, including the surplus lost by the pickers who were available to work but were not hired.
When economists say that the supply for a product has decreased, they mean that the OA) supply curve has shifted to the right. OB) product has become more expensive and thus consumers are buying less of it. C) product has become particularly abundant for some reason. D) supply curve has shifted to the left.
