Question Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).
Consider the market for rubber. suppose a massive forest fire causes 50% of the world’s supply of rubber to be destroyed. First, depict what happens in the market for rubber. Then, depict what happens in the market for tires (where rubber is an input). Last, depict what happens in the market for cars, where tires are an input. What happened to the price of cars? Now, suppose that in order combat this event, the government announces that starting in three months (i.e. in the future), the government will give a $1000 rebate on purchases of new cars (i.e. the price of cars will decrease in the future). What happens in the market for new cars today? What happens in the market for used cars today? Finally, what is the net effect of everything that occurred on new/used cars equilibrium price and quantity (Hint: for one of these market’s variables, the net effect will be ambiguous)?
What happens in the market for bagels if the price of cream cheese increases? Assume that bagels and cream cheese are complementary goods. Question 34 options: A) Both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of bagels fall B) Both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of bagels increase. C) The equilibrium price increases and the equilibrium quantity decreases in the market for bagels D) The equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity increases in the market for bagels.
When an economist says that the demand for a product has increased, this means that: consumers are now willing to purchase more of this product at each possible price. the product has become particularly scarce for some reason. product price has fallen and as a consequence consumers are buying a larger quantity of the product. the demand curve has shifted to the left.
What is one consumer food or service for which in the last 10 to 15 years consumers preference has actually increased, and still, the price has decreased. Based on all the supply and demand determinants, what is a possible reason that could cause the decrease in the price of the suggested good.
What are the potential effects in the market for automobiles if the cost of steel and rubber used in the production of automobiles increases. a) draw a supply/demand graph of the automobile market. b) indicate starting equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. c) analyze graphically the effect of the change given above on equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the automobile market.
Suppose both the demand for olives and the supply of olives decline by equal amounts over some time period. Use graphical analysis to show the effect on equilibrium price and quantity. Instructions: On the graph below, use your mouse to click and drag the supply and demand curves as necessary. D1 Quantity of olives Price of olives
Consider the following two equations for the demand and supply: Supply curve: Qs = 10 + 2P Demand curve: Qd = 30 − 12P (a) What is the value of the equilibrium price? (b) What is the equilibrium quantity? Suppose that clothes workers at a certain factory accept a pay cut of $3 per hour. (a) Draw a graph to show how this would affect the market for clothes. (b) Why does this shift occur? How does that affect the equilibrium price and quantity? Suppose that the price of product A increases from $10 to $19. As a result, quantity demanded for product B changes from 300 to 265. What can we say about products A and B? Explain.
Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice…
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
The owner of Grand Central Bookstore is looking into the sales of its Health & Fitness magazine section. She finds that her equilibrium is at 800 magazines per month sold at an average price of $4.75 per magazine. When the price of these Health & Fitness magazines rose to $5.00 each, the quantity sold fell to 725 magazines per month, while the quantity supplied to her increased to 900 a month. From the scenario described, answer the questions below. Draw an appropriate graph for Grand Central’s Bookstore’s to illustrate this change in the Health & Fitness magazines market position when the price rises to $5.00. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the Health & Fitness magazines between prices $4.75 and $5.00. Is it elastic or inelastic? How do you know? Calculate the price elasticity of supply for the Health & Fitness magazines between prices $4.75 and $5.00. Is it elastic or inelastic? How do you know based on your answer? The owner also noticed that…
