As part of U.S. sugar policy, the government offers to buy raw sugar from domestic sugarcane mills at a price of 18.75 cents per pound. This government offer is made for as much raw sugar as the sugarcane mills produce. Any raw sugar purchased by the government is not sold in the domestic market, as this might cause raw sugar prices to fall. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, depict the government's demand curve for sugar. Label your curve 'D'. (Be sure to have your demand curve touch the y-axis.) Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. P(cents) 20₁ 19.5 19- 18.5- 18- 17.5- 17- 16.5- 16- 15.5- 15- Market for Sugar

This problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…
Please give a detailed solution with an explanation. PLease make sure the graph is visible, clear, and detailed. Make sure to include the new equilibrium coordinate point as well.For the 2 blank answers here are the options:Blank Answer #1:decrease or increase
Suppose that in 2007 Ford sold 500,000 Mustangs at an average price of $18,800 per car; in 2008, 600,000 Mustangs were sold at an average price of $19,500 per car. From these statements what changes in supply or demand on the market for Mustangs produced such changes in equilibrium? (One graph. Start by plotting two points (price versus quantity, shift either supply or demand, not both) and then draw supply and demand graphs through them in a way that explains the change in the equilibrium from 2007 to 2008.
a. Graph the points of these supply and demand curves for orange juice. Be sure to put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. b. Do these points seem to lie along two straight lines? If so, figure out the precise algebraic equation of these lines. (Hint: If the points do lie on straight lines, you need only consider two points on each of them to calculate the lines.) c. Use your solutions from part b to calculate the "excess demand" for orange juice if the market price is zero. d. Use your solutions from part b to calculate the "excess supply" of orange juice if the orange juice price is $6 per gallon.
The demand for butter is given by 120-4pd and the supply is 2ps-30, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers. a: Draw the demand and supply functions. b: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. c: Suppose a drought strikes that shifts the supply functions to 2ps-60. The demand remains the same. Draw the new supply function, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity.
Suppose that Bob and Cho are the only suppliers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly supply schedules: Price (Dollars per slice) 1 2 3 4 5 PRICE (Dollars per slice) 6 5 0 0 Bob's Quantity Supplied Cho's Quantity Supplied (Slices) 0 (Slices) 5 4 9 On the following graph, plot Bob's supply of pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Cho's supply of pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of pizza slices using the orange points (square symbol). 4 Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. 8 6 7 12 8 16 QUANTITY (Slices) 12 20 14 24 15 A Bob's Supply Cho's Supply Market Supply
Use the information/statement below to answer questions: 10. Because of exceptionally good weather conditions, this year's supply of-eucumber in Batinah is 20% greater than last year's supply. Assume that once cucumber is grown, the supply curve for cucumber is perfectly inelastic. Also assume that the demand curve for cucumber is the same this year as it was last year. If the price of cucumber is 25% lower this year than it was last year, what can we conclude? 10. The price elasticity of demand for cucumber is: a. -1.25 b. -1.00 © - 0.80 d. -0.25
Consider the market for pens. Suppose that new medical concerns regarding graphite absorption have put pressure on schools to reduce pencil use in favor of pens. Further, the price of plastic, a major input in the pen production process, has dropped sharply. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

"While the world's appetite for chocolate grows more voracious each year, cocoa farms around the globe are failing, under siege from fungal and viral diseases and insects... Researchers predict a shortfall in beans from the cacao tree, the raw material from which chocolate is made, in as little as five to ten years." 1) using the graph, describe the effect of such events on the demand and supply curves and also label the lines you drew properly. 2.) also identify the new point of equilibrium. label it properly.

6. Suppose that a new, influential research study proves conclusively that cigarette smoking causes cancer in a way that causes people to start to pay more attention to the warning that "cigarette smoking is injurious to health." At the same time, suppose that new restrictions on the use of fertilizer dramatically raise tobacco production costs. Using conventional supply and demand analysis, one would expect the combined effect of these changes on the cigarette market to be: a. b. C. d. an increase in equilibrium price, with the change in equilibrium quantity uncertain a decrease in equilibrium price, with the change in equilibrium quantity uncertain. an increase in equilibrium quantity, with the change in equilibrium price uncertain. a decrease in equilibrium quantity, with the change in equilibrium price uncertain.
