Specific Instructions: Identify the factor/s affecting the supply and/or demand for each of the underlined good or service Start from an initial equilibrium market condition (see figure below) and then illustrate the shift/s in the supply and/or demand curve/s Assume equal magnitude of shift in the supply and demand curves. Label all figures and use an arrow to show the direction of the shift. P X 1. Onion farmers in Occidental Mindoro and Ilocos Sur used high-yielding varieties and adopted the Code of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) for onion production. 2. The African Swine Fever (ASF) forced many hog raisers to perform culling. On the other hand, the government increased the minimum access volume and lowered the tariffs for pork. 3. The Department of Agriculture installed tramlines in cabbage-growing areas in the northern area of the Philippines. This resulted in farmers being able to bring down their produce for pick-up by traders along the highways.

Assume gasoline is sold in a competitive market, the equilibrium price is $50 per barrel, and the equilibrium quantity is 1000 barrels. (a) Using the numerical values above, draw a correctly labeled graph of the gasoline market and show each of the following. (i) The equilibrium price (ii) The equilibrium quantity (b) At a price of $40 per barrel, will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market? Explain. (c) Assume new oil wells are discovered. On your graph from part (a), show how this change will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for gasoline. (d) Assume instead there is an increase in the price of gasoline-operated automobiles. How will this change affect the market for gasoline? Explain. (e) If both changes in part (c) and part (d) occurred simultaneously, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of gasoline?
PROBLEM (5) (tariff) The domestic (US) demand and supply for soy is p = 80 − QD and p = QS + 10 respectively. US market is very small relative to the world market, and the world (equilibrium) price is $20. Draw one graph for the market marking all intercepts and intersections to help you with (a) and (b) below. (a) If there is NO trade, what is the CS, PS, net domestic benefits, DWL?(b) If there is free trade, what is the CS, PS, net domestic benefits, DWL? How many units are imported? Now the state imposes a tariff of t dollars per unit.(c) What should be the tariff amount t to maximize tariff revenues? In this case, what is the DWL?(d) What should be the tariff amount t so that consumers and producers equally well off (CS equals PS)? (e) What should be the tariff amount t to maximize PS?(f) What is the most efficient tariff amount t? What is the least efficient tariff amount t? (i.e. that minimizes and maximizes DWL respectively.)
Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph.

(?) According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of scooters is currently $30 per scooter, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is in total revenue per week. a $15-per-scooter increase in price will lead to In general,…

Refer to the diagram below: Price (per bushel) $10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 X 2 4 8 10 12 Quantity of wheat (thousands of bushels per period) 6 (a) Suppose that the government introduced a new migration policy which has led to an increase in the number of consumers in the market. Due to this policy change, there is an increase in demand of 2,000 bushels at each price, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of bushels? Show the impact on the graph above and label it A. (b) Shortly after the announcement of the new immigration policy, there was a wild fire that destroyed some of the wheat harvesting plains. This led to a decrease in supply of 2,000 bushels at each price at the same time. What would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of bushels (Hint: your starting equilibrium should be A)? Show the impact on the graph above and label it B.
