Illustrate the following with supply and demand curves: In March 2015, hogs in the United States were selling for 81 cents per pound, up from 58 cents per pound a year before. This was due primarily to the fact that supply had decreased during the period. Show this change in the figure on the right. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the equilibrium point for 2015 in the U.S. hog market. Label your point 'E'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the change in the U.S. hog market between 2014 and 2015. Properly label your line 'S2015'- (Hint: Perform the steps in the order given.)

Which of the following statements is correct? a) Point 6 can be produced only if there is an increase in resource availability and/or an improvement in technology. b) Points 1-4 and 6 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but resources are used efficiently only at points 1-4. c) Point 5 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but the resource use is inefficient. d) Point 6 can be produced with…
Last year, a man shared a video on TikTok of himself longboarding to work while drinking a bottle of OceanSpray juice. This resonated with the online community and kicked off a challenge to reproduce the scene using the same drink. Use the Four-Step method and draw a supply/demand graph to predict the effect on equilibrium price and quantity for OceanSpray. Clearly label your graph and upload it to the dropbox labeled (you may draw it on paper and take a picture, or use some other software).
Show in a diagram the effect on the demand curve, the supply curve, the equilibrium price, and the equilibrium quantity of each of the following events. (a) The market for hotel rooms in your town Case 1: The wages of housekeepers go up. Case 2: A major political meeting will be held in your town, attracting many visitors across the country. (b) The market for bagels Case 1: People realize that bagels are high in calories and sugar, which could cause overweight and other health issues. Case 2: People have less time to cook breakfast in the morning. (c) The market for the Krugman and Wells economics textbook Case 1: Your professor makes it required reading for all of his or her students. Case 2: Printing costs for textbooks are lowered by the use of cheaper paper.

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.
Over the past 20 years, the average price of avocados has more than doubled. Assume that the price of avocados is determined by the forces of supply and demand. Using concepts that you have learned about supply and demand, explain whether the following is or is not a cause of the increase in price of avocado. Restrictions on imports of avocados from Mexico were gradually lifted. Improved production methods allowed for slower ripening of avocados and therefore more avocados can be reliably shipped. Mexican food, which regularly features avocados, has become more popular.
USE TABLE #1: For the market for electric automobiles, the equilibrium price is $ ________________ and the equilibrium quantity is___________ . (Remember to use a comma, if a comma is needed and to include the decimal point and two numbers to the right of the decimal point).
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.
PLEASE MAKE A SUPPLY AND DEMAND GRAPH BASED ON THIS EXPLAINATION The high demand for onions in the Philippines combined with low supply has led to an increase in prices. The average monthly demand for onions in the country is around 17,000 metric tons but the current supply is not enough to meet the demand. This has resulted in a shift in the demand curve to the right and the supply curve to the left, causing the market equilibrium to move from point E to point F, resulting in an increase in both price and quantity. Reason of the shift: The price increase of onions in the Philippines can be attributed to several factors, including global inflation, failure of the agriculture department to make accurate supply projections, possible internal price manipulation, and a shortage of supply due to smuggling.
13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium 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 ink, a major input in the pen production process, has increased 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. PRCE (Dolars per pen) 1 2 Scenario 1 Demand 3 5 0 7 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) Demand 16 Supply 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.
