Suppose that President Clinton has recently recommended that the U.S. should use some of the strategic oil reserves (oil stored underground and owned by the United States government) in order to solve the U.S. oil supply problem. Assume that quantity demanded in the short-run is inelastic at 1 million barrels per day. The quantity supplied (per day) is equal to 700,000 + 10,000P (where P is the price for a barrel of oil). a. What would be the current price for a barrel of oil? N b. If Clinton releases 100,000 barrels per day, what is the new equilibrium price and quantity? N c. Presidential candidate George W. Bush proposed that all states lower their gasoline tax. Assume that the gasoline tax reduction leads to a $10 decrease in the tax on a barrel of oil (i.e., supply side). What is the new price and quantity? N How much of the tax savings will be passed on to consumer through lower prices? Assume that the changes in part b. have not occurred. d. What impact do each of these two…
Remembering the learning activity in Unit 3, the Gondwanaland chairman of production reported that the gosum berry growers could meet a demand of 700 barrels of gosum berries per month at a price of $70 per barrel. Then the growers were plagued with a gosum berry bug infestation that reduced output, causing production to fall to only 600 barrels. This resulted in a price increase to $84 per barrel. The following table shows the chairman’s report: Month Monthly barrels of gosum berries demanded Price per barrel June 700 $70 July 600 $84 Using the midpoint method, show your work and calculate the price elasticity of demand for Gondwanaland gosum berries. Explain what this price elasticity of demand means? Complete the table below by calculating what the monthly total revenue is for June, what the monthly total revenue is for July, and the change in total monthly revenue for these two months. How have these numbers changed? (Enter your response…
There is a debate about whether sterile hypodermic needles should be passed out free of charge in cities with high illegal drug use. Proponents argue that doing so will reduce the incidence of diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, that are often spread by needle sharing among drug users. Opponents believe that doing so will encourage more drug use by reducing the risks of this behavior. As an economist asked to assess the policy, you must know the following: (i) how responsive the spread of diseases like HIV/AIDS is to the price of sterile needles and (ii) how responsive drug use is to the price of sterile needles. Assuming that you know these two things, use the concepts of price elasticity of demand for sterile needles and the cross-price elasticity between drugs and sterile needles to answer the following questions. Which of the following would have to be true for this policy to be beneficial to cities? 0 The price elasticity of demand for sterile needles is relatively elastic. The…
The Wall Street Journal reported the following news: "Higher prices for natural gas and coal are forcing power-generation companies and manufacturers to consider switching to oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) increased its demand forecast for oil in 2021 and 2022 by 170,000 and 210,000 barrels per day but the cumulative effect of the crisis could be as much as 500,000 barrels daily from September through the first quarter of 2022."

Our client is proposing to build a 300 unit apartment building in Downtown Denver which will deliver in 2022. Given the following graph showing five year supply vs demand for rental apartments in Downtown Denver, what do you think some of the implications for building a building in 2022 will be? Would you recommend they continue to plan on delivering in 2022? Why/why not?
December, 2006, was a difficult month for Colorado’s beef industry. Multiple heavy snow storms caused thousands of beef cattle to be stranded in nose-high snow drifts. They could not get food or water for themselves. In spite of valiant attempts by the National Guard to drop hay, many died. Beef market prices in the spring were predicted to rise. The series of unfortunate events continued: after the spring thaw, Colorado cattlemen experienced a couple of cases of mad-cow disease. Beef market prices fell (contrary to the earlier prediction). Diagram in (a) the initial impact of the bad winter on the price and quantity. Then, on the same grid, incorporate the impact on price and quantity of the mad-cow cases. Be sure that your final diagram indicates a market price decrease. Using economic terminology, write a statement in (b) explaining the results of your graphical analysis in (a).
Unlike the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal is highly relevant for the US economy. A blockage of the Panama Canal could produce severe supply disruptions for the US economy. Suppose there is a severe blockage of the Panama Canal that last for six weeks. The following questions consider how such a blockage of the Panama Canal would affect the US economy in the short-run. Once Panama Canal officials are able to unblock the canal and get traffic flowing again, the US economy will begin to recover from the supply disruptions. Which of the following statements describes the US economy after the Panama Canal has become unblocked? A) The price level will increase back to its initial level of P*, and real GDP will decrease back to its natural level. B) The price level will decrease back to its initial level of P*, and real GDP will increase to its natural level. C) The price level will increase to its original level of P*,…
Canada has a massive resource of bitumen in the Athabasca oil sands near Fort McMurray. These deposits are also commonly known as tar sands, because of the sticky nature of the bitumen, which is disseminated in sandstone host rock. Note, the location of oil sands near the Athabasca River in Question 7 above. As oil accumulated in the shallow trap (the one that is drilled!), over geological time, some of it escaped over the spill-point of the trap and flowed, under buoyancy (oil is less dense than water), beneath the shale caprock that retains it. Near the surface, this oil collected near the Athabasca river and progressively degrades from crude into bitumen, a lower grade ‘dirty’ form of viscous and dense oil that requires significant refining after it has been physically separated from the encasing sands of the McMurray Formation. Despite the complications in exploiting bitumen from oil sands, relative to pumping crude, the bitumen resources of Alberta are enormous volumetrically.…
If crude oil prices rise significantly, then heating oil prices will most likely: Decrease Increase Stay the same
If you are converting buying power, the buying power in a high index city will be less than the buying power in a low index city. For example, $100 in Boston, where the city index is 151, would purchase an equivalent amount of goods and services as in Dallas, where the city index is 114. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.
Imagine you are the owner of a natural gas company. You can either extract as much of the resource as fast as possible or delay extraction until a future time. Projections indicate that the price of natural gas is expected to fall in the future. What would you do in the present? a. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a rightward shift of the current supply curve in the future. B. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement down the current supply curve.C. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement up the current supply curve.D. Sell as little natural gas as possible in the present and delay extraction until the future—reflected by a leftward shift of the current supply curve in the future.
