Due to several supply-chain issues the price of computer chips has risen in recent months (this part is true and there is no need to prove it to be so). The result of this change would be to increase the price of automobiles that require many computer chips in their manufacture. Explain why above statements is True, False, or Uncertain according to economic principles. Use diagrams where appropriate.

A recent hot issue in Ghana is energy. Suppose the demand for energy is described by Q=50-0.5P and the supply of energy by Q=P-10.(a) Graph the supply and demand curves carefully. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of energy.(b) Some lawmakers decide that the problem with Ghana is that the price of energy is too high. They propose a bill that would set a price limit of $30 per unit of energy. If enacted, what will be the effect of this law on the quantity of energy supplied and demanded? Is the market on equilibrium? Explain. If not, calculate the shortage/surplus that results.(c) Other lawmakers decide that energy prices are too low and are considering a tax on energy to encourage conservation. What will be the effect on equilibrium price and quantity of a $20 per unit tax on energy, if the tax is collected from suppliers? Show this on the original supply and demand diagram as well.(d) Using the results from part (c) calculate the economic price incidence for suppliers and…

QUESTION 2 Eve notices that ordering through HotCups (a specialty coffee delivery service where price fluctuates with supply and demand) to her bank's office in the city normally costs $6 Monday to Friday (x1 rate). But on Saturday mornings, as there are many tired people who want to make the most of their weekend, the HotCups delivery costs up to $18 (x3 rate). Which of the following statements are true: A Ceteris paribus, there should be less HotCups delivery drivers around on a Saturday morning due to the increased prices according to the law of supply. Ceteris paribus, Eve is more likely to walk to a local cafe for coffee on a Saturday morning. H Ceteris paribus, a HotCups delivery driver's working hours (individual quantity supplied) should increase on a Saturday morning according to the law of supply. Ceteris paribus, a HotCups delivery driver will work more on a Tuesday morning rather than a Saturday morning because of the higher rates, according to the law of supply.
