Question 2 TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS Consider the following list of statements. Each statement is either true or false. You must read each statement carefully and then select the option that you believe is correct as your answer. Write down only the question number and next to the number either "True" or "False". Example: If you believe sub-question 2.6 is true, then write down: 2.6. True. 2.1. The law of supply states that the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity supplied (ceteris paribus). 2.2. One of the reasons why labour markets may be imperfect is that workers in a particular market are organised in a trade union which then acts as a monopolistic supplier of labour. 2.3. A perfectly competitive firm has a downward-sloping demand curve. 2.4. The demand for a product depends on the availability of the product. 2.5. In the short run, a firm can expand output only by increasing the quantity of its fixed inputs.

Question: Why does quantity supplied go up as price goes up? a)For a given time period, the marginal utility gained by consuming equal successive units of a good will decline as the amount consumed increases b)Because as price rises, producer profit rises, which induces producers to supply a larger quantitiy. c)Because people substitute lower-priced goods for higher-priced goods as price rises. d)Both (a) and (b) above
The price of a good will tend to increase if Question 12 options: A) there is a shortage of the good B) the price is above the equilibrium price C) there is a surplus of the good D) demand and supply of the good are the same
Task of the day: If the demand and supply curves of two commodities A and B are given below find the equilibrium price and quantity: D, =10-P, -2p2; S, = -3+ P, + P2 D2 = 6-P,-P2; S2 = -2+ P2
When an economist states the supply of a product has decreased, he or she has concluded that a) A smaller quantity will be produced at every price b) The price is too high for equilibrium c)a greater quanity will produced at every price d) the price is too low equilibrium. e) demand was too high for producers to make a profit.

Fall of 2020, international demand for U.S. grains grew, pushing up the prices for grains. Indeed grain prices grew nearly 50% in the last 6 months. Your task as an analyst is to analyze the changes in the market for corn. Using a grapg, depict the changes that took place in the corn market. Clearly show and explain any shifts in demand and/or supply curves. Label any shifted curves as D1 and/or S1. If the curves have not shifted, please explain why. Clearly show the new market equilibrium if changed from your answer to Question 1. Label the new equilibrium price as P1 and equilibrium quantity as Q1.
43) Suppose we observe a large increase in the price of corn but the quantity of corn sold stays the same. What is the most plausible explanation (or combination of explanations) below? a) A drought occurred in corn-growing regions. b) A drought occurred in corn-growing regions and a medical report was issued that corn is good for your health. c) A drought occurred in corn-growing regions and a medical report was issued that corn is bad for your health. d) A few fertilizer was invented that doubles corn yields. e) A new fertilizer was invented that doubles corn yields and a medical report was issued that corn is bad for your health. 44) Suppose we observe that the price of paper has increased and the quantity of paper sold has decreased. What is the most plausible explanation? a) Consumers demand less paper because of increased use of the Internet. b) The price of pens and pencils increased dramatically. c) The number of children in schools decreased dramatically. d) More logging for…
During the COVID 19 pandemic, the demand for personal protective equipment increased. What adjustments would the market make as a result that would benefit the economy? Group of answer choices The price of personal protective equipment would fall because producers could not meet the demand at lower prices. The price of personal protective equipment would rise, signaling to producers that more production was needed. The price of personal protective equipment would rise, signaling to consumers that they should purchase less personal protective equipment. The supply of personal protective equipment fell as production became more expensive.
Use the figure below to answer the following question. Price Multiple Choice Quantity point 1 to point 4. D3 Refer to the three demand curves. A "decrease in demand" would be illustrated as a change from point 6 to point 3. line D3 to D2. line D₁ to D3 6 D₁ D₂
If price rises Multiple Choice there must have been a decrease in equilibrium quantity. there may have been an increase in demand. there may have been an increase in supply. there may have been a decrease in demand.
