5. Producer surplus and price changes The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for a group of recent graduates looking to sell used air fryers. Each seller has only a single used air fryer available for sale. Think of each rectangular area beneath the supply curve as the "cost," or minimum price that each seller is willing to accept. Assume that anyone who has a cost that equals the market price is willing to sell their used air fryer.

8. U.S. government price supports for milk led to an unceasing surplus of milk. In an effort to reduce the surplus about a decade ago, Congress offered to pay dairy farmers to slaughter cows. Use two graphs, one for the milk market and one for the meat market, to illustrate how this policy should have affected the price of meat. (Assume that meat is sold in an unregulated market.) Be sure to draw the inverse demand and supply curves and label your axes. Explain clearly.

Question 11 of 26 > O Macmillan Learning The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags. Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this.

Question 1 (Market Demand and Equilibrium) Suppose the demand for cigarettes is perfectly inelastic, while the supply of cigarettes slopes upward from left to right. The equilibrium price of cigarettes is $5 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 packs. a) Draw the market for cigarettes given the information above. Label the equilibrium point, axes, and any intercepts b) What would happen if the price of cigarettes were $6 per pack and not at the equilibrium of $5 per pack? Would it stay at $6 per pack? Briefly explain. c) Suppose that as a result of government anti-smoking campaigns, the demand for cigarettes decreases to 80 packs (but is still perfectly inelastic). What would happen to the equilibrium price (increase, decrease, not change)? What is the new quantity?
4. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture The following graph Illustrates the market for almonds. It plots the monthly supply of almonds and the monthly demand for almonds. Suppose new gathering technology is invented, allowing growers to produce more crops using the same amount of resources. Show the affact this shock has on the market for almonds by shifting the demand curva, supply curva, or both. 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. PRICE(Dollars per loro 24 0 A QUANTITY (Thousands oftons) Demand Supply 12 Total Revenue (Thousands of Dollars) Demand Supply (?) Several growers are happy with this advancement in technology because now they can sell more crops, which they belleve will lead to increases in revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a…
