PRICE (Dollars per ton) Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture The following graph illustrates the market for cashews. It plots the monthly supply of cashews and the monthly demand for cashews. Suppose a stretch of unseasonably good weather occurs, allowing cashew growers to produce more cashews per hectare. Show the effect this shock has on the market for cashews by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

360 Supply 180 18== 0. 10 25 80 90 QUANTITY (Units) For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and X Between Y and Z True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further. O True O False PRICE (Dollars per unit)
What factors determine the elasticity of resource demand? What effect will each of the following have on the elasticity or the location of the demand for resource C, which is being used to produce commodity X? Where there is any uncertainty as to the outcome, specify the causes of that uncertainty. a. An increase in the demand for product X.b. An increase in the price of substitute resource D. c. An increase in the number of resources substitutable for C in producing X. d. A technological improvement in the capital equipment with which resource C is combined. e. A fall in the price of complementary resource E. f. A decline in the elasticity of demand for product X due to a decline in the competitiveness of product market X.

Calculate the price elasticity of supply.
Which of the following is a not a valid reason why economists' consider the computation of a midpoint in elasticity? Because of the instances of market shocks that may change the pattern of a commodity's elasticity. O None of the choices. O O Because there is a need to determine the product-market fit from a historical data. Because changes are prone to one time event that may deviate from the historical data.

Answer the next questions assuming that the price of baseball caps is inflexible. 20 50 100 150 Baseball caps (a) What are the equilibrium price and quantity at the medium level of demand (DM)? The equilibrium price is $_ and the equilibrium quantity is_ baseball caps. (b) What will be the equilibrium price and quantity if there is a demand shock that unexpectedly increases demand (DH)? The equilibrium price will be $ (c) What can you conclude will happen to prices and output when this model is shocked by changes in demand? and the equilibrium quantity will be baseball caps. The price of baseball caps is (flexible, inflexible ) in this model. A change in demand for baseball caps results in a change in output to achieve equilibrium at the set price of $ hat. We can conclude that the price…
The price of oil is currently over $80 per barrel and has been as high as $90 per barrel after Saudi Arabia and a couple of oter OPEC countries reduced output this year. The demand for oil is expected to increase by 1 million barely per day over the next year according to the International Energy Agency but OPEC+ has been unclear about its intentions of increasing oil supplies. a. If OPEC+ increases its production by million barrels per day, we can unambiguously say that the equilibrium price will fall, and the equilibrium quantity will rise.

QUESTION 5 Hanna Corporation markets a compact microwave oven. In 2010 they sold 23,000 units at $375 each. Per capita disposable income in 2010 was $6,750. Hanna economists have determined that the arc price elasticity for this microwave oven is -1.2. Which the following statement is wrong? O A price decrease in 2011 will help company revenue growth. Asuming that all other thing remain equal, sales volume for 2011 are 27,312 if price is reduced to 325. Assume that arc income elasticity for microwave ovens is 2.5 and price and income effects are independent and additive. Given that the price is reduced to $325 and that per capita disposable income increases to $7,000, sales volume for 2011 will be 29,032. O A price increase in 2011 will help company revenue growth.
