K In Example 2.8, we discussed the recent increase in world demand for copper, due in part to China's rising consumption. Recall that the demand equation is Q=27-3P, the supply equation is Q=-9+9P, the initial equilibrium price is P* $3.00 (dollars per pound), and the initial equilibrium quantity is Q* = 18 (million metric tons per year). 1. Using the given demand and supply equations, calculate the effect of a 35-percent increase in copper demand on the price of copper. Note: use the initial equilibrium values for P* (= $3.00) and Q* (= 18 million metric tons) when calculating the changes below. As a result of this change in demand, the price of copper will decimal places.) and the equilibrium quantity will by by $ (Enter your response rounded to two million metric tons per year.

In Example 2.8, we discussed the recent increase in world demand for copper, due in part to China's rising consumption. Recall that the demand equation is Q = 27 - 3P, the supply equation is Q = −9+9P, the initial equilibrium price is P* = $3.00 (dollars per pound), and the initial equilibrium quantity is Q* = 18 (million metric tons per year). 1. Using the given demand and supply equations, calculate the effect of a 20-percent decrease in copper demand on the price of copper. Note: use the initial equilibrium values for P* (= $3.00) and Q* (= 18 million metric tons) when calculating the changes below. As a result of this change in demand, the price of copper will (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) by $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) and the equilibrium quantity will As a result of both of these changes, the equilibrium price of copper will metric tons per year.

1. Suppose that a small, tropical country produces mangoes for domestic consumption and possibly for export. The national demand and supply curves for mangoes in this country are given by the following: P = 50 - M P = 25 + M (national demand) (national supply) where P denotes the relative price of mangoes and M denotes the quantity of mangoes (in metric tons). (a) Illustrate these relationships geometrically. What is the autarky price and quantity (b) exchanged? (c) Suppose that the world price of mangoes is 45. Will this small country export mangoes? If so, how many tons?

The demand equation for milk is p = 44.894 − 0.23x, and the supply equation is p = 0.053x, where p is the price in dollars per hundred pounds and x is the amount of milk measured in billions of pounds. Find the equilibrium point. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) ____ billions of pounds of milk will be sold at $ ___ per hundred pounds.
Use the information/statement below to answer questions: 10. Because of exceptionally good weather conditions, this year's supply of-eucumber in Batinah is 20% greater than last year's supply. Assume that once cucumber is grown, the supply curve for cucumber is perfectly inelastic. Also assume that the demand curve for cucumber is the same this year as it was last year. If the price of cucumber is 25% lower this year than it was last year, what can we conclude? 10. The price elasticity of demand for cucumber is: a. -1.25 b. -1.00 © - 0.80 d. -0.25
Gasoline prices have been and will continue to be a major issue for the economy. From the start of the Covid-19 pandemic up to the present day, gasoline prices have been in the news. ---What has happened to the price of gasoline over the past 12 months? Be specific and include actual prices in your answer. ---Discuss the recent changes in price from a supply and demand standpoint. Have the price changes been due to a change in supply, a change in demand, or both? Explain your answer. ---How did Covid-19 affected the market for gasoline? Which of the main influences of supply and demand do you think were responsible for the price changes? (See textbook pages 90-91 and 97-98.) Be specific and explain why and how the "main influences" you chose had an impact on the gasoline market.

The domestic demand (Qpp) for wheat in the United States is estimated to be QDD=1430-55P, where the quantity of wheat is measured in millions of bushels per year. Suppose China also demands U.S. wheat (Qpc) and that its demand is given by QDc=1920-60P. What is the total demand for U.S. wheat, assuming the only two sources of demand are domestic and Chinese? The total demand for U.S. wheat is OA. Qp =3350-115P for all P. O B. Q =3350-115P for P≤ $26 and Qp = 1920-60P for P> $26. OC. Q=1920-60P for all P. O D.
