Consider the market for minivans. For each of the events listed below, decide whether the event shifts the supply or demand curve (or perhaps both); decide in which direction the curve shifts; and use the supply-and-demand diagram to see how the shift changes the equilibrium price and quantity. Provide brief explanation and draw a diagram for each event to illustrate the change from the status quo.

Consider each of the scenarios before, and explain what the effect of the given changes would be on the market for the good in bold that was originally in equilibrium. State which curve(s) shift (supply, demand, both, neither), and whether price and quantity are higher or lower after the change, or if this is not possible to determine. (a) An increase in the cost of dorm rooms on the market for apartments in the U-district? (b) The government increases the consumption tax rate for consumersp by 5% on the market for Rolex watches? (c) The increase in price of milk on cakes? Note: The solution should not be hand written.
Demand for cookies is of the following form: P=20-4QD, where QD is millions of cookies demanded per year and P is price in US dollars. Supply of cookies of the following form: P=6+Qs, where QS is millions of cookies supplied per year and P is price in US dollars. a. What is the equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. b. Graph the supply and demand curves, marking their intersection. Be sure to label intercepts, equilibrium, etc. c. The government imposes a tax of $2 per cookie on producers of cookies. What is the new equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. d. In a graph, show how the supply curve has shifted. What price do consumers now pay? After paying the tax, how much to producers receive.
Consider the market shown in equilibrium at point A in the graph to the right. Suppose the market experiences the following shock: A technological improvement 1.) Use the line drawing tool to show the result of the market shock. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label this new point 'B'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Market Price A Quantity D

An increase in the price of any of the factors of production will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve. iii. An increase in the wages of workers at Mr Juicy drink factory in Durban will result in a movement along the supply curve of Mr Juicy drinks, ceteris paribus. iv. In their supply decisions, producers take account of the prices of all the alternative products they can produce. a) Only i, ii , iii and iv. b) Only ii and iv. c) Only ii and iii. d) Only i, ii and iv.

Graphically show the effect of each of the following on Equilibrium Price and Quantity. Also explain which factor of demand or supply is being affected in each case: i) What happens to equilibrium price and quantity of chocolates on Valentine’s day?
the combination of generous stimulus payments and the extremely successful Covid vaccination campaign should lead to a significant increase in the number of drivers getting back on the road. Using a graph, depict and explain the impact of the change. Which of the curve(s), if any, would shift, and why? Graphically indicate the new equilibrium, labeling it as P2 and Q2. What has happened to price? What has happened to quantity?
By using diagram, show the impact of a shift of demand or supply on the equilibrium point.
Equilibrium Scenarios On a separate piece of paper, use an appropriately labeled supply/demand graph to answer the following questions. For each question, you need to a) state the determinant of demand (TRIPE)/supply (NICEJAG) that caused the change, b) graph the change, and c) tell me what happens to equilibrium price and quantity. 1. What would be the effect of an increase in automobile worker wages on the market for automobiles? 2. What would be the effect of a decline in the price of personal computers on the market for software? 3.

Assume a market for a normal good is currently in equilibrium. If the expected price of the good is lower than the current price, then: Demand will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 1 Supply will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 2 Equilibrium price will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 3 Equilibrium quantity will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 4
In each of the following scenarios, explain the changes in either supply or demand that would result. If the initial equilibrium price were yet to change, indicate whether a surplus or a shortage would result. Given this, what do you expect will subsequently happen to the price of the good? In the market for paper: New advances in recycling technology reduce the cost of producing paper made from recycled materials. In the market for lightbulbs: Recently General Electric, one of the largest suppliers of light bulbs, decided to discontinue producing light bulbs. In the market for Las Vegas hotels: A heat wave in Las Vegas causes tourists to cancel their hotel room reservations and vacation elsewhere.
