Homework (Ch 09) 1. The supply curve in the very short run The following graph shows the annual demand for tortilla chip consumption, which is initially in long-run equilibrium at point D. Suppose that tortilla chips are sold in a perfectly competitive market, and tastes shift away from tortilla chips so that demand shifts leftward from D₁ to D₂. Use the purple line (diamond symbol) to illustrate the supply curve in the very short run. Make sure the line passes through two of the starred points on the graph. PRICE (Dollars per bag) 10 9 8 10 3 2 1 0 0 1 C D 5 A B 10 6 7 8 2 3 4 QUANTITY (Millions of bags per year) 9 1 10 Short-Run Supply Curve ?

8. Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph shows the market for donuts in Dallas, where there are over 1,000 donut shops at any given moment. Suppose a new scientific study shows that Dallas is the most polluted city in the world. Due to health concerns, a significant number of families move out of the city. Show the effect of this change on the market for donuts by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. 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 donut) QUANTITY (Donuts) Supply Demand Demand If donuts are a normal good, this will cause the demand for donuts to 0 Supply ? Now suppose Congress passes a new tax that decreases the income of Dallas residents.
2.5 This problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD Q's? You may wish to refer to this simple problem…
You are a financial analyst with a specialization in the motion pictureIndustry. You have been hired to analyze the prices of movie theater tickets. The following two events are occurring simultaneously in the Ghana:A new national chain opens new multi-screen movie theaters in most cities in Ghana.Movie theaters cut the price of popcorn and soft drinks in half.Draw a demand-and-supply graph showing equilibrium in the market for movie tickets hefore the above two events took place. Label the axes and curves. Label the initial equilibrium — before events (i) and (ii) - as P,and Q, on your graph.b.Now show on your graph how event (i) affects the demand or supply curves for tone teres, Brelly explain which of the demand or supply variables caused the eftect you are showing on your graph.Now slow on your graph how event (il) affects the demand or supply curves for ovis Lesets.

The following graph shows the market for annual tortilla chip consumption, which is initially in long-run equilibrium at point D. After the change in tastes and the rightward shift in demand, the market moves to point in the short run and then to point in the long run. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot the long-run market supply curve for tortilla chips, making sure that it goes through two of the points A, B, C, or D. PRICE (Dollars per bag 10 9 8 2 1 D 0 1 True B D₁ O False 23 C S 10²4 NO 2 3 4 5 7 8 QUANTITY (Milions of bags per year) According to the graph, the tortilla chip market is an example of 10 Long-Run Supply True or False: The average cost at the cost-minimizing level of output is lower for the new marginal firm than it was for the marginal firm before the change in demand. industry.
Consider a market for solar energy panels as shown in the given graph. Due to a major breakthrough in terms of technological advancement in its manufacturing, the cost of production has gone down drastically. This causes the manufacturers of solar energy panels to shift their supply curve. Show the impact of this technological advancement on the supply curve of solar energy panels. Using the Line drawing tool, draw the new supply curve of solar energy panels. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity demanded after the supply curve of solar energy panels shifts? O A. Both price and quantity demanded increase. O B. Both price and quantity demanded decrease. O C. Price increases and quantity demanded decreases. O D. Price decreases and quantity demanded increases. Click the graph choose a tool in the palette and follow the instructions to create your graph Price of solar panels Graph Quantity of solar…
Question #1: On the news there has been outrage over the price of Epipens, a medication needed for allergic reactions to food and bee stings. The price of a two-pack of Epipens has risen from $100 to $600. The number of Epipens purchased fell from 1000 to 400. At the current time, there are no substitutes for this drug Will this increase in price cause a decrease in demand or a decrease in quantity demanded? Illustrate your answer graphically (either by showing a movement along the demand curve or by shifting the demand curve).
Consider the market for pens. Suppose that new medical concerns regarding graphite absorption have put pressure on schools to reduce pencil use in favor of pens. Further, the price of plastic, a major input in the pen production process, has dropped sharply. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. 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 pen) 10 Supply 8 7 X Demand 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 3 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) 9 1 0 10 Scenario 1 0 1 Scenario 2 9 Supply 8 7 X Demand 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) 1 0 Next, complete the following graph, labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1 graph. Demand 0 Supply Demand Supply ?
Initially, the market for nitrile gloves is in equilibrium. In applying the concepts of supply and demand, which of the following will happen at the new equilibrium point in the nitrile gloves market if the demand curve shifts to the right by the same amount that the supply curve shifts to the right? The price of nitrile gloves will increase. The price of nitrile gloves will decrease. The price of nitrile gloves will stay the same. There will be a surplus of nitrile gloves in the market. There will be a shortage of nitrile gloves in the market.

A fall in the price of transporting the jeans from Thailand, where they are made, to Ghana, where they are sold A rise in the wages paid the workers who sew jeans A fall in the price of jeans An decrease in the number of companies manufacturing jeans
9. In recent years, the number of car producers in China has increased rapidly. In fact, China now has more car brands than the United States. In addition, car sales have climbed every year and automakers have increased their output at even faster rates, causing fierce competition and a decline in prices. At the same time, Chinese consumers' incomes have risen. Assume that cars are a normal good. Draw a diagram of the supply and demand curves for cars in China to explain what has happened in the Chinese car market.
