In a certain year, the strong economic growth of developing countries increased their purchase of raw materials, including copper, for production. On the other hand, several South American countries had serious safety issues in their copper mines and closed many of these copper mines. Suppose the above changes led an increase in the global sales volume of copper. Use a well-labeled demand-and-supply diagram to show the above effects on the global market of copper. Briefly explain your answer.

The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Peacock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value Average American household income $40,000 per year Roundtrip airfare from New York (JFK) to Las Vegas (LAS) $200 per roundtrip $250 per night Room rate at the Grandiose Hotel and Casino, which is near the Peacock Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

Construct a graph (diagram) for this question without an explanation. What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee if it is discovered that coffee helps to prevent colds and, at the same time, Brazil and Vietnam emerge in the global market as massive producers of coffee? Assume the responsiveness of supply is greater than the responsiveness of demand
Can you help me answer this
Demand for cookies is of the following form: P=20-4QD, where QD is millions of cookies demanded per year and P is price in US dollars. Supply of cookies of the following form: P=6+Qs, where QS is millions of cookies supplied per year and P is price in US dollars. a. What is the equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. b. Graph the supply and demand curves, marking their intersection. Be sure to label intercepts, equilibrium, etc. c. The government imposes a tax of $2 per cookie on producers of cookies. What is the new equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. d. In a graph, show how the supply curve has shifted. What price do consumers now pay? After paying the tax, how much to producers receive.
How to make a table for this, indicating the prices, quantity demand, and quantity supply? Also, kindly explain the question asked below. No need for the graph, I will make it. Thank you!
Consider the following statement: "The market supply for natural gas is the sum of all prices that natural gas producers are willing and able to sell at for every quantity." What is the flaw in this statement? Select the correct answer. It should state that market supply is the sum of the quantities of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at every price. It should state that market supply is the price of natural gas that one firm is willing and able to provide a specified quantity of its product at. There is no flaw in this statement. It should state that market supply is the quantity of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at one specific price.
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).
Next, complete the following graph 2 "not pictured", labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1 graph.

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.
Using supply-and-demand diagrams explain how the following events would affect the supply or demand in each market (draw the original demand and supply and in the same graph draw the NEW demand or supply-showing your shifts) and how the quantity and price of in equilibrium will be affected: a) An ongoing, chronic shortage of long-haul drivers is creating major issues with trucking capacity, leading to delays when transporting goods across countries. Also, because building materials like steel beams, concrete slabs, pipes, logs, etc. are large and very heavy, it’s common for companies to use oversized flatbed fleet trucks or tractor trailer fleet trucks to ship them around the country. What happens in the market of building materials due to this event? b) What happens in the market for ramen noodle soup if: there is a world-wide recession that decreases consumers' incomes (assume ramen noodle soup is an inferior good)?
