Question: Imagine a small town where all residents buy their groceries from two stores: GreenGrocer and Fresh Finds. Initially, both stores charge the same prices and have the same number of customers. One month, GreenGrocer decides to decrease the price of all their fruits and vegetables by 10% to attract more customers. Assuming the quality of goods and the level of service at both stores remain constant, answer the following: 1. What economic principle explains why customers might start shopping more at GreenGrocer than at Fresh Finds? 2. If Fresh Finds does not change its prices, what could be the likely outcome for its business? 3. How might Fresh Finds respond to GreenGrocer's price reduction to maintain its

On April 1, the price of gas at Bob's Corner Station was $4.95 per gallon. On May 1, the price was $5.45 per gallon. On June 1, it was back down to $4.95 per gallon. Between April 1 and May 1, Bob's price increased by or Between May 1 and June 1, Bob's price decreased by or Suppose that at a gas station across the street, prices are always 20% higher than Bob's. In absolute dollar terms, the difference between Bob's prices and the prices across the street is when gas costs $5.45 than when gas costs $4.95. Some economists blame high commodity prices (including the price of gas) on interest rates being too low. Suppose the Fed raises the target for the federal funds rate from 2% to 2.75%. This change of percentage points means that the Fed raised its target by approximately

You have been asked to analyze what will happen to the New England market for electricity if the Winter 2022-23 (December 2022 through February 2023) results in much colder temperatures than Winter 2021-22 (December 2021 through February 2022), causing all residential customers to scramble for more electricity than they would typically need to heat their homes. Using your graph from Question 2, analyze the impact of this change in consumer desire for more electricity. Clearly show any shifts in demand and/or supply curve(s) that came about because of this exit. Label any shifted curves as D2 and/or S2. Clearly show the new market equilibrium. Label the new equilibrium price as P2 and equilibrium quantity transacted as Q2
In 2018, economists were predicting that the demand for electric vehicles would rise in 2019, driving up the price of lithium. However, in 2019, this expected increase in demand did not happen. Lithium producers, however, changed their behavior based on these predictions. As a result the price for lithium in 2019 (rose,fell,remained the same) and the quantity of lithium (rose,fell,remained the same)
