Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows: U.S. Quantity Demanded U.S. Quantity Supplied 26 14 24 16 22 18 20 20 18 22 Price ($ per Barrel) 55 60 65 70 75 Now suppose that the United States allows no oil imports. The equilibrium price in the United states is $ per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is million barrels. If the United States imposed a price ceiling of $55 per barrel on the oil market and prohibited imports, there would be an If the price ceiling is below $70, quantity supplied and quantity demanded differ. will determine how much oil is purchased. of million barrels of oil.
Other things constant, an improvement in overall technology that allows more output to be produced with the same level of inputs causes a movement up and along the supply curve, resulting in both a higher equilibrium price and quantity. a leftward shift of the supply curve but a fall in price and an increase in the quantity supplied. no movement of the supply curve but a fall in price and an increase in the quantity supplied. 3 a rightward shift of the supply curve so that more is offered for sale at every price.

At this price, both the domestic quantity demanded and the Suppose that trade between the United States and China is open and that the United States initially imposes no tariffs or quotas on towels imported from China. Assume that China has a comparative advantage in producing towels and charges the world price of $12 per towel. (Note: Throughout the problem, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of towels.) On the previous graph, use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the world price of towels. million towels, the quantity of towels supplied by At the world price of $12 per towel, the quantity of towels demanded by U.S. buyers is U.S.…

In this market, the equilibrium price is per box, and the equilibrium quantity of blueberries is million boxes. For each of the prices listed in the following table, determine the quantity of blueberries demanded, the quantity of blueberries supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied Pressure on Prices (Dollars per box) (Millions of boxes) (Millions of boxes) 15 35 True or False: A price ceiling below $25 per box is not a binding price ceiling in this market. True False Because it takes six to eight years before newly planted blueberry plants reach full production, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant blueberries on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of blueberries…
