The price for some intra-Asia container shipping services, such as the container shipping fee for China-to-Singapore freight, raised up to five-year high in mid-November 2020. Some Singapore consumers believed that annual major promotion of leading ecommerce sites in China and Singapore, especially the double-11 shopping festival, caused the rapid increase of China-to-Singapore container shipping cost. However, others speculated that there might be some supply-side changes causing the spike in sea shipping rate.Search and collect information regarding changes in the Asian container shipping market from at least two news articles. Apply the supply-and-demand theory to analyse the change of short-run market equilibrium. Based on your findings evaluate the gain or loss of consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus. You must use appropriate market diagrams to illustrate and interpret your findings.

Read the following extract and answer question? SA agri posts trade surplus in Q2 despite ongoing Covid challengesThe agriculture sector was able to operate during the various lockdown periods due to it being considered an essential service. Weather also came to the party and allowed for an excellent agriculture season which sawrecord crops across most commodities with the grain and oilseed crop topping 17.07m tonnes which is almost 2% higher year-on-year.Despite logistical challenges, the sector managed to move hefty quantity of produce to the rest of the world with the second quarter of 2021 recording a trade surplus of US$1.5m which is 40% ahead of the same period in2020. Then follows a 36% year-on-year spike in total agriculture exports in quarter two of 2021 at US$3.2bn, bringing the total 1H2021 export value to US$6.1bn which is 30% higher year-on-year…The overall good export revenue was underpinned by strong export demand despite the Q2 Rand exchange rate appreciation of 6%…
(6, Katrina Decreases Labor Supply Consider the effects of a natural disaster like hurricane Katrina on a metropoli- tan economy. In the initial (prehurricane) equilibrium, total employment in the metropolitan area is 500,000 workers and the daily wage is $100. The price elasticity of supply of labor is 4.0 and the price elasticity of demand for labor is -1.0. Suppose the hurricane reduces labor supply (a horizontal shift of the supply curve) by 100,000 workers. a. Use a supply-demand graph of the urban labor market to show the effects of the hurricane. b. The equilibrium wage [increases, decreases] by percent (to $. computed as.... c. The equilibrium employment [increases, decreases] by workers), computed as.... (to d.

The price of bauxite increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, bauxite has traded at between 1500 and 1600 USD per tonne. But the price increased to over 1900 USD in November 2020. Growing demand in Canada for bauxite to be turned into aluminium, coupled with a sharp fall in Jamaican production have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Jamaica for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to flood conditions causing damages as well as increased competition. The London Metal Exchange predicts that global consumption of bauxite is likely to be greater than production by 20 million tonnes next year. In the US, companies in the steel and petrol industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of bauxite. Commentators predict that most steel and petrol producers will be unaffected because bauxite is such a small part of their spending. Illustrate the predictions…
Explain what factors might have caused investor asset demand for real estate to grow in Question 2.8. Question 8 Suppose investor demand for real estate assets grows in the sense that prevailing cap rates (OARs) in the property asset market fall from 10% to 8%. Assuming usage demand remains constant in the space market, show on a four-quadrant diagram, similar to Exhibit 2-4b, the short- and long-run effects of this change in investor demand. [Hint: You can answer qualitatively or recognize that specific quantitative answers will depend on the shapes and slopes of the curves (i.e., the elasticities) in each quadrant.]
