a. Use the figure to fill in the quantity supplied given supply curve S, for each price in the following table (second column, gray-shaded cells). Instructions: If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. S1 Quantity Supplied S2 Quantity Supplied |Change in Quantity Supplied Price 3 4 2 b. If production costs were to increase, the quantities supplied at each price would be as shown by the third column of the table ("S, Quantity Supplied"). Use those data to draw supply curve S, using the graph below. Instructions: On the graph below, use your mouse to click and drag supply curve S, as necessary, or you may move the individual points. 5 4 s, 2 1 10 15 20 Quantity supplied c. In the fourth column (gray-shaded cells) of the table in part a, enter the amount by which the quantity supplied at each price changes due to the increase in product costs. (Use positive numbers for increases and negative numbers for decreases.) d. Did the increase in production costs cause a "decrease in supply" or a "decrease in quantity supplied"?

What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.
Name some factors that can cause a shift in line demand curve in markets for goods and services.
Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.
Explain why the following statement is false: In the goods market, no seller would be willing to sell for less than the equilibrium price.
Suppose you could buy shoes one at a time, miter than in pain. What do you predict the cross-price elasticity for left shoes and right shoes would be?
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
In an analysis of the market for paint, an economist discovers the facts listed below. State whether each of these changes will affect supply or demand, and in what direction. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint. Paint is lasting longer so that property owners need not repaint as often. Because of severe hailstorms, many people need to repaint now. The hailstorms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months.
The accompanying table shows the price and monthly demand for barrels of gosum berries in Gondwanaland. Price of gosum berries per barrel Native demand for gosum berries per month $100 0 $90 100 $80 200 $70 300 $60 400 $50 500 $40 600 $30 700 $20 800 $10 900 $0 1,000 A) Using the midpoint method (show your work), calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a barrel of gosum berries rises from $10 to $20. What kind of elasticity is this value that you computed for the price elasticity of demand, and what does it mean for how demand will change based on a change in price within this price range? (Enter your response here.) B) Using the midpoint method (show your work), calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a barrel of gosum berries rises from $70 to $80. What kind of elasticity is this value that you computed for the price elasticity of demand, and what does it…
