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.

Consider Tralfamadore, a hypothetical country that produces only burgers. In 2018, a burger is priced at $4.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burgers that can be bought with $700. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burger, and always round down to the nearest whole burger. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 burgers, the answer should be 1 burger. Price of a Burger Burgers Bought with $700 Year (Dollars) (Quantity) 2018 4.00 2019 Suppose the government of Tralfamadore cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 20% by 2019. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a burger and the new quantity of burgers that can be bought with $700 in 2019. The impact of the government's decision to raise revenue by printing money on the value of money is…
Suppose that during the past year , the price of a laptop computer fell from $2,100 to $1,820. During the same time period , consumer sales increased from 429,000 to 530,000 laptops
The following table shows a housing index that can be used to compare housing prices in different cities. Suppose you see a house valued at $280,000 in City E. Find the price of a comparable house in City F, City B, and City A. If you know the price of a particular home in your town, you can use the index to find the price of a comparable house in another town with the formula below. index (other town) index (your town) price price (other town) (your town) = X A comparable house in City F would cost about $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) A comparable house in City B would cost about $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) *** A comparable house in City A would cost about $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

The market price of pizzas in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. Some students suggest that the price increased because several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. Other students attribute the increase in the price of pizzas to a recent decrease in the price of beer. Everyone agrees that the decrease in the price of beer was caused by a recent decrease in the price of grain, which is not generally used in making pizzas. The first group of students thinks the increase in the price of pizzas is due to the fact that several pizza parlors in the area have recently gone out of business. On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the first group’s explanation for the increase in the price of pizzas. (graph in photo) The second group of students attributes the increase in the price of pizzas to the decrease in the price of beer.…
A supply and demand puzzle. So would the supply of demand decrease and the demand of laptops increase???
The following graph plots Jake's monthly demand curve (blue line) for acai bowls. The point denoted by A gives a point along his monthly demand curve. The market price of acai bowls is $2.25 per bowl, given by the horizontal black line. PRICE (Dollars per bowl) 7.50 6.75 6.00 5.25 4.50 3.75 3.00 2.25 1.50 0.75 0 0 Demand Price + 2 4 Jake's Monthly Demand 8 10 12 14 QUANTITY (acai bowls) 6 16 18 20 From the previous graph, you can tell that Jake is willing to pay $ bowl, the consumer surplus he gains from the 6th acai bowl is $ for his 6th acai bowl each week. Because he has to pay only $2.25 per

In the following questions, give all your answers to two decimals. Patrice works as an economist for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Her current project is to estimate the effect of changes in income, prices of related goods, and the price of potatoes on the demand for beef. Patrice has the following data: Price elasticity of demand for beef -0.80 Income elasticity of demand for beef + 1.40 Cross-price elasticity between beef and chicken +1.20 Cross-price elasticity between beef and potatoes -0.50 Suppose the price of beef rises by 8%. All else equal, the quantity of beef demanded would fall by %.
