MCQ 23 Suppose the market for barley can be represented by the standard market model, with upward-sloping supply curve and downward-sloping demand curve. Starting from an initial equilibrium position, with supply and demand in balance, suppose there is both a decrease in the demand for barley (a leftward shift of the demand curve) and a decrease in the supply of barley (a leftward shift of the supply curve). After price and quantity have adjusted to the new equilibrium, we would expect to observe: A a lower price and a smaller quantity bought and sold B a smaller quantity bought and sold, but the change in price can't be determined from the available information C I do not want to answer this question. D a higher price, but the change in quantity bought and sold can't be determined from the available information neither the change in price nor the change in quantity bought and sold can be determined from the available information F a higher price and a smaller quantity bought and sold

S6. Consider a simplified model in which everyone gets electricity either from solar power or from fossil fuels, which are both in relatively inelastic supply. (Ín the case of solar power, think of the required equipment as being in inelastic supply.) The upfront costs of using solar energy are high, so when the price of fossil fuels is low (that is, when few people are using fossil fuels and there is a high demand for solar equipment), the cost of solar can be prohibitive. In contrast, when many individuals are using fossil fuels, the demand for them (and thus the price) is high, whereas the demand (and thus the price) for solar energy is relatively lower. Assume the payoff table for the two types of energy consumers to be as follows: COLUMN Solar Fossil fuels Solar 2,2 3,4 ROW Fossil fuels 4,3 2,2 (a) Describe all possible ESSS of this game in terms of s, the proportion of solar users, and explain why each is either stable or unstable. (b) Suppose there are important economies of…
A statistical study estimated that the dental appliance market coexists with a Supply curve given by: O= 75.2+1.4P and a Demand curve given by: D= 446.2-1.1P, where P is the price of sale in real units and quantities in thousands of units. This study also indicated that the average prices practiced are 20% below equilibrium, which has encouraged the search for dental treatment. Considering that the market cannot supply all the customers who are looking for it, how many people will be without access to treatment while prices are below equilibrium?
QUESTION 3 If the demand equation is D(x) = 60 - 0.45x and the supply equation is S(x) = 0.15x+17, find the equilibrium price.
Please align the letter with the closest related scenario that would allow for a similar action to occur in the shifting of the supply or demand curves as shown below. Improved technology in current product that the market was anxiously awaiting. ________ Vehicles increasing MPG from 20MPG to 40MPG, as it relates to gasoline usage. ________ Technology that allows for easier extraction of oil. ________ Increase in cost of materials to the seller. ________

Answer: The equilibrium price is $ (use 2 decimal places) (B) The total gain to producers who are willing to supply units at a lower price is $ (C) The total savings to consumers who are willing to pay a higher price for the product is $ = 8+ 1 8000 (round to 2 decimal places) (use 2 decimal places)
Find the equilibrium points for (Q, P1, P2) of the two commodity demand and supplymarket function below. The equilibrium condition may be summarized as Qdi = Qsi.Qd1 = 24 − 8P1 + 2P2Qs1 = −6 + 12P1Qd2 = 28 + P1 − 8P2Qs2 = −6 + 2P2
The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?
Please do not answer question in picture. Please demonstrate the graph as a supply and demand graph with all axes labels that include price, quantity, reason for shift depicted, original prices, and original quality.
Part 2: Creation and/or diversion The U.S. demand for particulate air cleaners (all of which are produced abroad) is given by QD=580-8P. The U.S. can purchase cleaners from China and/or from Vietnam; consumers perceive the products from these two countries as identical. Vietnam is willing to supply cleaners to the U.S. according to the equation P=20+0.5Q", while China's export supply to the U.S. is given by P=20+0.25QC. a) Suppose the U.S. engages in free trade with both China and Vietnam. Compute the equilibrium price paid by U.S. consumers and the number of cleaners China and Vietnam will each sell to the U.S. Show your work. b) Repeat your analysis from part a), now for the case where the U.S. imposes a tariff of $10 on each imported cleaner. c) Repeat your analysis once again, now for the case where the U.S. imposes a $10 tariff on each cleaner imported from China, but engages in free trade with Vietnam.
Given a market model as follow: Q1 = a – bP1 + eP2 – f P3 (a, b, e, ƒ > 0) (c, d, g,h > 0) (1) (2) Q1 = -c + dP, – gT + hS where Q, is quantity of Good 1, P, is price of Good 1, P, is price of Good 2, Pz is price of Good 3, T is an excise tax and S is a government subsidy. iv) Find the value of P; by using substitution technique.
Price £/unit D3 D1 D2 Quantity Figure 5 Supply and demand curves for a normal good Figure 5 shows a supply (S1) and demand curve (D1) for a normal good – illustrated by the continuous lines. Both curves may shift left or right depending on the situation described below, as illustrated by the dotted and dashed lines. The market is initially in equilibrium at point I given by the intersection of the supply curve S, and demand curve D1. Consider the situation below and select the letter that corresponds to the new point of equilibrium that would arise in the market from the list provided.

New Zealand possums produce the highest quality fur, due to the large pelts per body size. Demand for New Zealand possums’ products has risen dramatically. This is partly a result of the conservation benefits of harvesting New Zealand possums. This has made the product seem more environment friendly than other fur products and boosted sales to concerned consumers. Assume that the possums market satisfies all the attributes of a competitive market. Further assume that high grade possum furs are the most expensive input into the possum fur production function. 1. Use a graph of the market for possum fur to demonstrate the effect of its environmentally friendly status on the market equilibrium. 2. Graph the reaction of an individual incumbent firm to the increase in market demand. In your graph, identify the firm’s revenue and cost structures. 3. What would you predict would happen to long-run industry supply if the price of possum fur increased as possum culling increased their…
