Earlier this year it was reported that the supply of avocados（鳄梨） has fallen because of weather conditions. “…this time last year 360,000 trays were being produced per week, but that figure has fallen below 100,000 trays in recent weeks”. What information would you need about the market for avocadoes to assess whether growers of avocadoes as a group were hurt or helped by these poor weather conditions? Explain. If the demand for avocados is less price elastic than the supply of avocados, what short term impact would this have on the price of avocados (include a graph to help demonstrate your answer)
Suppose that price of steel, a major input for making cars, increased. Using two separate competitive supply/demand diagrams for cars market, and gas market, illustrate and briefly explain the probable effects of the increase in the price of steel on: equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantities, in the cars and gas markets. What happen to the revenues of car, and gas producers/sellers? [Hint: Car and gas are complements. First show how an increase in price of steel will affect the car market. Then based on what happens to car prices, determine what will happen to the gas market] U X2 x2 E E A- I X 山T國 étv MacBook Pro
5. In the short run, the general view of the relationship between housing supply and the price of housing is that the stock of housing is essentially fixed and the supply of housing is very inelastic. This implies that in the short run, the price of housing will be determined by................. while the quantity of housing will be determined by...............

Need help with Evaluation Evolution Question 3 asks how easily the quantity supplied of salmon can be changed in response to changes in its price. In your answer, write about the short term - if the price of salmon doubled today, for example, could the quantity supplied of salmon double in the next year? What are the constroints on increasing supply? Then consider the long term. What are the constraints on increasing supply and how important are they? Come to an overall condusion about the short term and long term.
