Consider the following scenario: In Great Britain, the electricity system operator publishes a wind generation forecast of 14 GW for 7 PM on the next day. On the morning of the next day, the electricity system operator revised its wind generation forecast for 7 PM down from 14 GW to 11 GW. Do you expect the wholesale electricity market price for 7 PM to increase or decrease at this time? Explain your answer.

In a city with a medium sized population, the equilibrium price for a city bus ticket is $1, and the number of riders each day is 9400. The short-run price elasticity of demand is -0.5, and the short-run elasticity of supply is 1. If the demand for bus tickets increased by 10% because of a rise in the world price of oil, what would be the new equilibrium price of bus tickets? (Hint: For each price, the quantity demanded is now 10% higher) New equilibrium price: __1__

When graphing a market, one of the key aspects to remember is that equilibrium occurs where supply equals demand. Therefore, you can find the equilibrium price and quantity by setting the supply and demand equations equal to one another. In this case, since domestic demand is P = 11.5 - Q and domestic supply is P = 5.5 + Q, you can find the equilibrium quantity as 11.5 – Q = 5.5 + Q. Solving for Q, you get 2Q = 6 or Q = 3 (which in this case equates then to 300 million bushels). Plugging that answer back into either the supply or demand equation, you find the equilibrium price (which is 8.5 or 85 yuan) or Rent in this case). This is the equilibrium point with no trade.With the application of the world price and then the world price plus tariff, you just need to plug the established prices (6.5 for world price, 6.5 + 1.5 for the tariff) into the supply and demand equations to find the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded with or without the tariff. Recently, China placed tariffs…
