December, 2006, was a difficult month for Colorado’s beef industry. Multiple heavy snow storms caused thousands of beef cattle to be stranded in nose-high snow drifts. They could not get food or water for themselves. In spite of valiant attempts by the National Guard to drop hay, many died. Beef market prices in the spring were predicted to rise. The series of unfortunate events continued: after the spring thaw, Colorado cattlemen experienced a couple of cases of mad-cow disease. Beef market prices fell (contrary to the earlier prediction). Diagram in (a) the initial impact of the bad winter on the price and quantity. Then, on the same grid, incorporate the impact on price and quantity of the mad-cow cases. Be sure that your final diagram indicates a market price decrease. Using economic terminology, write a statement in (b) explaining the results of your graphical analysis in (a). a) GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS b) WRITTEN
You own a company that produces widgets. You currently produce 100 widgets; each widget sells for $100 and costs $80 to produce. At this production level, what is your total revenue? A. TR = $8,000 B. TR = $80 C. TR = $10,000 D. TR = $100
In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of 1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s first significant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the price change didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffees and I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size (small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s third quarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a year earlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives? Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffee commodity costs, but with the significantly lower coffee costs already improving their profit margins, it seems unlikely this justification is the true reason for the hike in prices. In addition, the price hike was applied to less than a third of their beverages and only targets certain regions. Implementing such a specific and minor price increase when the bottom…
Consumers eating higher food costs The price of milk rose about 21% from July 2006 to July 2007, while the price of frozen orange juice increased 31%. At the same time, with higher gasoline prices, the demand for ethanol increased. Because ethanol is made from corn, the price of corn rose, which in turn increased the price of bread, chicken, cheese, and the fast-foods that use cheese. As people in China and India become richer, they are eating more beef and chicken and less rice and tofu-another source of higher food prices in the United States. Source: USA TODAY, September 6, 2007 Draw a curve to show the effect of the higher price of corn on the market for milk. Label it. Draw a point at the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. 4.00 3.50 3.00- 2.50 2.00 1.50 Price (dollars per gallon) 2.50 S D 140 1.00- 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 Milk (thousands of gallons per day) >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.
The reaping, processing and sale of sugarcane is a booming sector. However, the late 1990s and early 2000s saw a crisis for sugarcane producers. During this period, the quantity supplied of sugarcane outweighed quantity demanded and the market was in turmoil. Over time the price of sugarcane recovered after 2014, peaking in July 2018. In part, this was due to farmers diversifying into other crops; in part, it was due to buoyant global demand for alternate products. In 2019, however, a combination of good harvests and a fall in fertilizer sugarcane prices caused supply to increase substantially. Although demand was still growing in developing countries, the onset of recession in developed countries was halting the growth in demand. Illustrate and explain (i) how the sugar cane market changed during the period 2014 – 2018 and (ii) what would be required to maintain the original equilibrium price.
(Ricardian Model] In the United States (US), producing one pound of cheese requires 2 hour of labor, while producing one gallon of wine requires 1 hour of labor. In the rest of the world (ROW), producing one pound of cheese requires 9 hours of labor, while producing one gallon of wine requires I hour of labor. The United States has 360 hours of labor and the ROW has 1260 hours of labor. World relative demand for cheese to wine is RD- De/Dw = Pw/Pc.

Q2 At the price of $5.50 per tonne, the annual Canada-wide supply and demand for corn are 2.4 and 2.9 kilotonnes, respectively. When the price rises to $7.30, the supply increases to 2.8 kilotonnes while the demand decreases to 2.4 kilotonnes. (Note that the units for quantities will be in kilotonnes DO NOT convert them to tonnes.) (Q2 a) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) supplied, determine the supply function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. (Q2 b) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) demanded, determine the demand function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. ( Q2 c) Find the equilibrium point and the market clearing price. Show all your work. (Q2 d) Sketch the supply and demand functions on the same graph clearly indicating the equilibrium…
Explain why the following might be true: A drought in the Caribbean raises the total revenue that producers receive from the sale of coffee, but a drought only in Grenada reduces the total revenue that Grenadian producers receive.
The demand for U.S.-made cars in Japan is given as: Japanese demand = 10,000 - 0.001(Price of U.S. cars in yen). Similarly, the demand for Japanese-made cars in the United States is: U.S. demand = 30,000 0.2(Price of Japanese cars in dollars). The domestic price of a U.S.-made car is $20,000, and the domestic price of a Japanese-made car is ¥2,500,000. Instructions: If imports exceed exports, enter a negative value (-) for net export. a. If the nominal exchange rate is 100 yen per dollar, then the real exchange rate in terms of cars from the perspective of the United States is 0.8 and net exports of cars to Japan is -17000 b. The nominal exchange rate is 125 yen per dollar, then the real exchange rate in terms of cars from the perspective of the United States is ◆ and net exports of cars to Japan is -5000 c. Which of llowing correctly describes the effect(s) of an appreciation of the dollar on U.S. net exports of automobiles (to the Japanese market): OU.S. exports will decrease while…

Demand increased - Japanese cars are inferior goods in Japan. Supply increased - Japanese cars are inferior goods in Japan. Supply increased - Japanese cars are normal goods in Japan. Demand increased - Japanese cars are normal goods in Japan.
