Question 2 Using diagrams, analyze which changes in price and quantity would be expected under the scenarios given in the following markets: a. Oil: As oil reserves decrease, it becomes more and more difficult to recover crude oil. b. Train travel: Concerns about train safety cause travelers to shy away from train travel. c. Milk: Genetic engineering enables milk producers to cut production costs.

Show in a diagram the effect on the demand curve, the supply curve, the equilibrium price, and the equilibrium quantity of each of the following events. (a) The market for hotel rooms in your town Case 1: The wages of housekeepers go up. Case 2: A major political meeting will be held in your town, attracting many visitors across the country. (b) The market for bagels Case 1: People realize that bagels are high in calories and sugar, which could cause overweight and other health issues. Case 2: People have less time to cook breakfast in the morning. (c) The market for the Krugman and Wells economics textbook Case 1: Your professor makes it required reading for all of his or her students. Case 2: Printing costs for textbooks are lowered by the use of cheaper paper.

A consumer have budget amounting to $400 which he could spend on two goods such as ice cream at $25 and a slice of bread at $40. Assuming that the ice cream will be located aling the vertical axis, and bread slice along the horizontal axis, what is the opportunity cost of bread in terms of the ice cream? (How many units of ice cream will be given up to gain a slice of bread?) Answer in absolute value.
Equilibrium Scenarios On a separate piece of paper, use an appropriately labeled supply/demand graph to answer the following questions. For each question, you need to a) state the determinant of demand (TRIPE)/supply (NICEJAG) that caused the change, b) graph the change, and c) tell me what happens to equilibrium price and quantity. 1. What would be the effect of an increase in automobile worker wages on the market for automobiles? 2. What would be the effect of a decline in the price of personal computers on the market for software? 3.

Question 3
In each of the following scenarios, the market is initially in equilibrium. Determine the impact each event would have on the given market. SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER IN EACH SITUATION 1. New advances in recycling technology reduce the cost of producing paper made from recycled material. a. Which of the following will occur in the market for paper made from recycled material? -supply will decrease -supply will increase -demand will decrease -demand will increase b. Will the advancement in recycling technology result in a shortage or surplus of paper made from recycled material at the previous price? Will the price of paper made from recycled material rise or fall? -surplus, rise -shortage, rise -shortage, fall -surplus, fall 2. Suppose General Electric, one of the largest suppliers of light bulbs, decides to discontinue its production of light bulbs. a. Which of the following will occur in the market for light bulbs? -demand will increase -supply…
For the questions that follow complete the steps below in order: 1. Read the scenario 2. Determine if the scenario represents a change in supply (TIGERS) or demand (TIRES) 3. Draw a supply and demand graph labeling all axis and curves 4. Draw the correct curve shifting and label that you determined in #2 above 5. Draw an arrow showing price increasing or decreasing in the space provided You can complete this on a separate sheet of paper or directly on the assignment and then upload to the review market equilibrium dropbox. An example has been provided for you. Example: New technology is found that increases productivity in all pizzerias across the country. How will this affect the market for pizza? This will affect the supply curve because it is technology. Technology is a determinant of supply. It will increase the supply of pizza and so the supply curve will shift to the right. P P1 P2 S D Q1 Q2 Q S2 In this case from the first equilibrium point to the second price decreases and…
Use supply and demand curves to show and explain how both the equilibrium price and quantity change in each case. a) The increasing adoption of over-the-top media streaming services lead to more people staying at home to watch movies rather than going to a movie theater. Show how this change in behavior affects the market for microwave popcorn. b) The severe winter storm in Texas agricultural regions caused a massive electricity generation failure and increased the costs of irrigation and energy. How would this affect the market for fruits and vegetables?
Use the theory of the market (i.e. demand and supply) to explain what is happening in each of the following scenarios: Ensure that you discuss the impact on demand, supply, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity (if any).
