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…
Market in equilibrium: consider a market for smartphones where the equilibrium price (P*) is $600 per phone, and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) is 100,000 phones per month draw the initial supply and demand graph. qor Q Events: Due to a global shortage of microchips, the cost of producing smartphones increases significantly. Additionally, a new study reveals that smartphone usage can lead to improved cognitive abilities, leading to an increased demand for smartphones. Explain how both the supply and demand curves would be affected. Draw the new supply and demand curves on your graph (in red) and predict the changes in equilibrium price and quantity. I Demand: Supply:
Consider two markets: the market for coffee and the market for hot cocoa. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $5.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 37.0. When the price is $8.75, the quantity supplied of coffee is 69.0 and the quantity supplied of hot cocoa is 101.0101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for hot cocoa. Please round to two decimal places.
Suppose that in 2007 Ford sold 500,000 Mustangs at an average price of $18,800 per car; in 2008, 600,000 Mustangs were sold at an average price of $19,500 per car. From these statements what changes in supply or demand on the market for Mustangs produced such changes in equilibrium? (One graph. Start by plotting two points (price versus quantity, shift either supply or demand, not both) and then draw supply and demand graphs through them in a way that explains the change in the equilibrium from 2007 to 2008.
For the questions that follow complete the steps below in order: 1. Read the scenario 2. Determine if the scenario represents a change in supply (TIGERS) or demand (TIRES) 3. Draw a supply and demand graph labeling all axis and curves 4. Draw the correct curve shifting and label that you determined in #2 above 5. Draw an arrow showing price increasing or decreasing in the space provided You can complete this on a separate sheet of paper or directly on the assignment and then upload to the review market equilibrium dropbox. An example has been provided for you. Example: New technology is found that increases productivity in all pizzerias across the country. How will this affect the market for pizza? This will affect the supply curve because it is technology. Technology is a determinant of supply. It will increase the supply of pizza and so the supply curve will shift to the right. P P1 P2 S D Q1 Q2 Q S2 In this case from the first equilibrium point to the second price decreases and…
In each of the following scenarios, explain the changes in either supply or demand that would result. If the initial equilibrium price were yet to change, indicate whether a surplus or a shortage would result. Given this, what do you expect will subsequently happen to the price of the good? In the market for paper: New advances in recycling technology reduce the cost of producing paper made from recycled materials. In the market for lightbulbs: Recently General Electric, one of the largest suppliers of light bulbs, decided to discontinue producing light bulbs. In the market for Las Vegas hotels: A heat wave in Las Vegas causes tourists to cancel their hotel room reservations and vacation elsewhere.
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.

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.
The following graph presents the market for sweaters in 2017. Between 2017 and 2018, the equilibrium quantity of sweaters remained constant, but the equilibrium price of sweaters decreased. Given this information, you can conclude that between 2017 and 2018, the supply of sweatersdecreased and the demand for sweatersdecreased . Make changes to the graph to illustrate your answer by showing the positions of the supply and demand curves in 2018. 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.`

#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.
