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.

What effect over the last decade, has the increasingly efficient and inexpensive technology of online college courses had on the college textbook market? Question 48 options: a) The demand for physical textbooks have steadily decreased, and as a result more publishing companies are having less demand for high skilled textbook editor jobs. b) The demand for textbooks has declined resulting in publishing companies increasing their demand of textbook editor jobs. c) The demand for textbook has increased as well as the supply. d) The supply for college textbooks has increased as a result there are fewer textbook publishing companies.

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…
Only one thing can cause movement along a product’s demand curve --- that is, cause a change in quantity demanded for that product --- and that’s a change in that product’s price. On the other hand, there are five key variables that can cause a product’s demand curve to shift to the left or right --- that is, lead to a change in demand. Coca-Cola is experiencing shifts in the U.S. demand curve for its famous cola soft drink, as the huge post-World War II “Baby Boom” generation has aged beyond their prime soft drink consumption years, and as the smaller generations behind the Baby Boomers have been buying relatively more energy drinks, water, juice, and tea, and relatively less soda than previous generations. What two key variables are affecting demand for Coca-Cola in the U.S., and in which direction are these variables shifting the demand curve for Coke?

Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only suppliers of collectible action figures in a particular market. The following table shows their annual supply schedules: Price Paolo's Quantity Supplied Sharon's Quantity Supplied (Dollars per action figure) (Action figures) (Action figures) 10 A-Z 4 8. 18 6. 12 24 8. 14 28 10 16 30 On the following graph, plot Paolo's supply of collectible action figures using the green points (triange symbol). Next, plot Sharon's supply of collectible action figures using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of collectible action figures using the orange points (square symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points.

Suppose that the market for porcelain lupines in Freedonia is perfectly competitive and initially in a long nun equilibrium. Porcelain lupines are normal goods in Freedonia and are produced with a computer aided technology. Porcelain lupines and ceramic roses are substitutes while porcelain lupines and glass vases are complements. Suppose that a government report shows that people who possess ceramic roses are 72.74% more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Describe with the use of diagrams the effects of this report upon the market for porcelain lupines in the short run and in the long run.
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…
