Given: In the summer, when concert tickets sell for $75, there are always 150,000 people that are willing and able to buy them, and the producers are willing and able to release 300,000 tickets. When the price falls to $50 a ticket, 75,000 more people are willing and able to buy them, but the producers are only willing and able to release 100,000 tickets.

Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only

Sven makes rocking chairs for a cost of $75 each, and he sells the rocking chairs for a market price of $130 each. Deidre is willing to pay $200 for a rocking chair. However, the government believes that rocking chair manufacturers should receive more money, and set the lowest legal price rocking chairs can be sold for at $250. At the market price, Sven is willing to sell a rocking chair to Deidre, and Deidre is willing to buy a rocking chair from Sven. Unfortunately, with the new legal minimum, Sven and Deidre cannot trade with one another, and miss out on additional gains from trade. Which of the effects of a price control best fits the scenario above? A)Deadweight Loss B) Reduction in Quality C) misallocation of resources D)wasteful increase in Quanity
The market for soccer balls is composed by 4 firms. Consider the following information on the quatity supplied at different prices: When the price for a ball is $25, the supply of firm 1 is 5, the supply of firm 2 is 2, the supply of firm 3 is 3, and the supply of firm 4 is 0. When the price for a ball is $50, the supply of firm 1 is 7, the supply of firm 2 is 5, the supply of firm 3 is 5, and the supply of firm 4 is 3. When the price for a ball is $75, the supply of firm 1 is 9, the supply of firm 2 is 8, the supply of firm 3 is 7, and the supply of firm 4 is 6. When the price for a ball is $100, the supply of firm 1 is 11, the supply of firm 2 is 11, the supply of firm 3 is 10, and the supply of firm 4 is 9. When the price is $50, the market supply of soccer balls is: a. 20 b. 10 c. 30 d. 41
China’s Thirst for Gas Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, deteriorating pipelines in Alaska, and conflict in Iraq can cause gasoline prices to rise by restricting supply. Often the events we see in the headlines affect the supply of oil available to consumers, but changes in the level of world demand for petroleum products also affects the price of oil. China’s Growing Demand U.S. demand for petroleum products has been high for decades. The United States is the largest consumer of oil, using about a quarter of the world’s petroleum. This is quickly changing. Emerging nations are becoming thirsty for oil, and China is at the top of that list. How did such a rapid change happen? In the past, China has not needed much petroleum. As the country is industrializing, however, it needs more and more fuel to satisfy its growing energy needs. In fact, as the graph of oil consumption between 1995 and 2025 shows, China’s consumption is increasing much more rapidly than…
Consider two types of cars: 1) Performance cars, which emphasize good performance (good mileage, towing capacity, horsepower, etc). 2) Luxury cars, which emphasize good looks Let's say that with the higher gas prices Americans care less about how their cars look and more about how they perform. We'd therefore expect to see in the market for performance cars and in the market for luxury cars. demand fall; demand rise demand rise; quantity demanded fall demand rise; demand fall O demand fall; quantity demanded rise
Please draw a demand curve. Label everything possible.

The one saying that everything remaining constant, price and quantity demanded move in opposite directions? Can you think of any good/any type of good for which this isn't true? Are there any goods for which the quantity demanded increases when the price increases, or for which the quantity demanded decreases when the price decreases?
Suppose Rajiv is the only seller in the market for bottled water and Kevin is the only buyer. The following lists show the value Kevin places on a bottle of water and the cost Rajiv incurs to produce each bottle of water: Kevin's Value Value of first bottle: $10 Value of second bottle: $7 Value of third bottle: $3 Value of fourth bottle: $1 The following table shows their respective supply and demand schedules: Price $1 or less $1 to $3 $3 to $7 $7 to $10 More than $10 Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 Cost of first bottle: $1 Cost of second bottle: $3 Cost of third bottle: $7 Cost of fourth bottle: $10 4 Rajiv's Costs Use Rajiv's supply schedule and Kevin's demand schedule to find the quantity supplied and quantity demanded at prices of $2, $6, and $9. Enter these values in the following table.
If the demand shifts outward and the supply shifts outward the new equilibrium quantity will be higher, but the direction of the change in the equilibrium price is ambiguous. the new equilibrium price will be higher, but the direction of the change in the quantity is ambiguous. in the new equilibrium, the price will be higher but the quantity will be lower. in the new equilibium, the quantity will be higher but the price will be lower. in the new equilibrium, both price and quantity will be higher.
#10: The quantity demanded x (in units of a hundred) of the Mikado miniature cameras per week is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p= -0.2x² + 80 and the quantity x (in units of a hundred) that the supplier is willing to make available in the market is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p = 0.1x² + x + 40. If the market is set at the equilibrium price, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus.
