Consider the market shown in equilibrium at point A in the graph to the right. Suppose the market experiences the following shock: A technological improvement 1.) Use the line drawing tool to show the result of the market shock. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label this new point 'B'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Market Price A Quantity D
1. Which of the following will result in an uncertainty regarding any change that might occur in the equilibrium quantity but a definite increase in the equilibrium price? a) An increase in demand and a decrease in supply b) A decrease in demand and a decrease in supply c) A decrease in demand and an increase in supply d) An increase in demand and an increase in supply 2. In a production possibility frontier (PPF) graph it is observed that points 1,2,3, and 4 lie on the PPF, Point 5 is outside the PPF, and point 6 is inside the PPF. Which of the following statements is correct? a) Point 6 can be produced only if there is an increase in resource availability and/or an improvement in technology. b) Points 1-4 and 6 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but resources are used efficiently only at points 1-4. c) Point 5 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but the resource use is inefficient. d) Point 6 can be produced with…
In April 2020, international oil prices fell down drastically, due to two major reasons, including the oil supply war going on between Saudi Arabia and Russia as well as the Covid-19-driven global crisis. Imagine a standard supply-demand model for the international price of oil. Which of the two curves (supply and/or demand) in your model need to shift in order to explain the observed drastic reduction in the oil prices due to the two above events? In which direction do they shift? The supply curve shifts to the left and the demand curve shifts to the right. The supply curve shifts to the left and the demand curve shifts to the left. The supply curve shifts to the right and the demand curve shifts to the right. The supply curve shifts to the right and the demand curve shifts to the left. Only the supply curve shifts to the right. Only the demand curve shifts to the left
Assume that Smith deposits $500 in currency into her checking account in the XYZ Bank. Later that same day, Jones negotiates a loan for $2,000 at the same bank. In what direction and by what amount has the supply of money changed? Multiple Choice increased by $2,000 decreased by $500 increased by $2,500 increased by $500
Problem 2: At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was difficult to find supplies of standard household toilet paper in grocery stores. Using supply and demand analysis, speculate as to why? Problem 3: Consider an individual's demand curve for a specific good, given that person's preferences and income. That demand curve depicts how that individual's quantity demanded of a particular good (say boneless skinless chicken thighs) depends upon the price. Specifically, the individual's demand curve plots the answers to "what is the utility maximizing quantity of that specific good given the person's preferences and income for a specific price for that good, holding fixed the prices of all other goods?" A typical good is depicted on pages 21 and 24 of Notes N2. Page 21 shows how the utility- maximizing amount of beer varies with the price change by showing how the consumer maximizes their utility subject to the budget constraint (which varies with the price of beer). Page 24 summaries…

There was a decrease in income and technology advanced. C. There was an increase in the price of a complement and an increase in wages paid by the firms. D. There was a decrease in the price of a complement and an increase in wages paid by the firms. E. There was an increase in the number of buyers but the number of firms remained unchang
What will happen to Demand(D), Supply(S), new Equilibrium Price(P*), and new Equilibrium Quantity(Q*) when the market condition changes as the following. Explain the reason and draw relevant graphs supporting your analysis. A. Market: Plywood in Florida Event: The Hurricane Center increases the probability of Hurricane to make a landfall in Florida B. Market: Skateboards Event: The price of fiberglass rises (Fiberglass is a substance used for making skateboards) C. Market: Chicken Event 1. Avian flu spreads fast hurting chicken producers AND, simultaneously, Event 2. Beef prices fall a lot, making beef more affordable to consumers (Chicken and beef are substitutes)
Assume a market for a normal good is currently in equilibrium.

Brick and mortar retail stores were particularly hard hit by the pandemic and several large chains went bankrupt. Others survived by developing or switching to online sales platforms and developing systems like a curbside pickup. Using the lessons of supply and demand analysis, and in particular, the discussion of demand and supply shifters, answer the following and explain your answer: 1) Do these innovations affect supply or demand, imposing the â€all else constantâ€ assumption (the only one can be affected). 2) Identify the shifter. 3) Which direction does the curve you identified shift and why? 4) Describe what happens to price and quantity at the new equilibrium.
Suppose that in 2007 Ford sold 500,000 Mustangs at an average price of $18,800 per car; in 2008, 600,000 Mustangs were sold at an average price of $19,500 per car. From these statements what changes in supply or demand on the market for Mustangs produced such changes in equilibrium? (One graph. Start by plotting two points (price versus quantity, shift either supply or demand, not both) and then draw supply and demand graphs through them in a way that explains the change in the equilibrium from 2007 to 2008.
