Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?
Consider the market for LCD TVs, illustrated in the figure to the right. Use the point drawing tool to identify the market equilibrium. Properly label this point. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Suppose instead that the price of LCD TVs is $2000.00. This will result in a , which will place pressure on the price. Price of LCD TVs 3000 2600- 2200- 1800- 1400- 1000- 600- 200- 2000 4000 6000 8000 Quantity of LCD TVs S 10000
How will a simultaneous increase in the price of a substitute good and an improvement in production technology affect market demand and/or supply, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a competitive market?
Suppose that you decide to start a new business of making children’s ready-made garments. Make a (Hypothetical) linear supply schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity supplied for your business. Make a graph showing equilibrium, shortage and surplus in the ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose cheap ready-made garments are imported from China. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity for the Pakistani ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that to boost the local industry, the Pakistani government gives subsidy on electricity prices. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…

a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…
Consider the market for gasoline. Suppose the market demand and supply curves are as given below. In each case, quantity refers to millions of litres of gasoline per month; price is the price per litre (in cents). Demand: P = 300-24Qº Supply: P = 120+8Q² Compute the equilibrium price and quantity. The equilibrium quantity is million litres. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) The equilibrium price is cents per litre. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest cent.)
Problem 02-06 (algo) Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 60 - Pand QS = 1.0P-20. a. What are the equilibrium quantity and price in this market? Equilibrium quantity: Equilibrium price: $ b. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus if a price floor of $52 is imposed in this market. Quantity demanded: Quantity supplied: Surplus: 20 Quantity demanded: Quantity supplied: Shortage: Full economic price: $ 40 C. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage if a price ceiling of $35 is imposed in the market. Also, determine the full economic price paid by consumers.
Consider a market that is initially in equilibrium and the equilibrium price and quantity are P and Q respectively. Then, the government decides to impose a price ceiling at a price of Pc that is less than P. Which of the following statements is correct? 1. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied on the market. 2. After the price ceiling is imposed, the quantity actually sold in the market is lower than it was before the price ceiling was imposed. 3. Producer surplus in the market increased after the price ceiling was imposed. 4. Since Pc is less than P, the price ceiling is effective and therefore, there is no deadweight loss in the market.
