The market for soccer balls is composed by 4 firms. Consider the following information on the quatity supplied at different prices: When the price for a ball is $25, the supply of firm 1 is 5, the supply of firm 2 is 2, the supply of firm 3 is 3, and the supply of firm 4 is 0. When the price for a ball is $50, the supply of firm 1 is 7, the supply of firm 2 is 5, the supply of firm 3 is 5, and the supply of firm 4 is 3. When the price for a ball is $75, the supply of firm 1 is 9, the supply of firm 2 is 8, the supply of firm 3 is 7, and the supply of firm 4 is 6. When the price for a ball is $100, the supply of firm 1 is 11, the supply of firm 2 is 11, the supply of firm 3 is 10, and the supply of firm 4 is 9. When the price is $50, the market supply of soccer balls is: a. 20 b. 10 c. 30 d. 41

Suppose goods X and Y are complimentary products. Which of the following are correct with respect to the competitive market model of supply and demand? (check all that apply) an increase in the price of good Y will cause an increase in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y an increase in the price of good Y will cause a decrease in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause a decrease in demand for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause an increase in demand for good Y
Suppose Rajiv is the only seller in the market for bottled water and Kevin is the only buyer. The following lists show the value Kevin places on a bottle of water and the cost Rajiv incurs to produce each bottle of water: Kevin's Value Value of first bottle: $10 Value of second bottle: $7 Value of third bottle: $3 Value of fourth bottle: $1 The following table shows their respective supply and demand schedules: Price $1 or less $1 to $3 $3 to $7 $7 to $10 More than $10 Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 Cost of first bottle: $1 Cost of second bottle: $3 Cost of third bottle: $7 Cost of fourth bottle: $10 4 Rajiv's Costs Use Rajiv's supply schedule and Kevin's demand schedule to find the quantity supplied and quantity demanded at prices of $2, $6, and $9. Enter these values in the following table.
Cost of first bottle: $1 Cost of second bottle: $3 Cost of third bottle: $5 Cost of fourth bottle: $7 From this information, complete the following table by deriving Gilberto's supply schedule. Price Quantity Supplied $1 or less $1 to $3 $3 to $5 $5 to $7 More than $7 Based on Gilberto's willingness to sell, plot his supply curve as a step function on the following graph using the orange points (square symbol). Be sure to plot your first point at (0, 0). Price of Water 10 9 8 7 2 1 0 0 2 Quantity of Water 3 Suppose the price of a bottle of water is $4. In this case, Gilberto receives $ Gilberto's Supply -+ If the price rises to $6, Gilberto now sells producer surplus to $ Price = $4 * Quantity Sold Use the black line (plus symbol) to draw a price line at $4. Next use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate how many bottles of water Gilberto will produce and sell at that price. Finally, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area that represents Gilberto's producer surplus.…
Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation Q = −6+2P and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD = 14 - 2P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The equilibrium quantity in this market is 4 million PRICE (Dollars per unit) the following graph, plot the demand curve using the blue line (circle symbol) and plot the supply curve using the orange line (square symbol). Then place the black point (plus symbol) at the equilibrium price and quantity. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. 10 9 8 7 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 QUANTITY (Millions of units) 8 units and the equilibrium price is 9 10 Demand Supply $5. Equilibrium
Suppose that Raphael and Susan are the only suppliers of pieces of cake in some hypothetical market. Their annual supply schedules are given by the following table: Price (Dollars per piece) 1 2 3 4 5 PRICE (Dollars per piece) On the following graph, plot Raphael's supply of pieces of cake using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Susan's supply of pieces of cake using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of pieces of cake using the orange points (square symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. 6 5 1 0 0 20 Raphael's Quantity Supplied (Pieces) 0 20 30 35 40 40 60 80 QUANTITY (Pieces) 100 Susan's Quantity Supplied (Pieces) 20 35 45 50 55 120 Raphael's Supply Susan's Supply Market Supply (?)
Consider the market for Caribbean cruises. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cruise companies take the following actions. First, they implement testing and tracing programs to limit the potential of COVID outbreaks on ships to occur and to spread. Second, they engage in widespread advertisement of their new and state of the art safety precautions. Using a generic model of supply and demand, show and describe how you would expect these initiatives would affect the market for cruises. Be sure to explain why which curves are shifting, and discuss changes to market equilibrium.
Respond to the following matching statements with regard to the definition of supply. Match 1: The claim that other things being equal, the quantity supplied of a good increase when the price of that good rises. This matches the Law of Supply. Match 2: A graphical object showing the relationship between the price of a good and the amount that sellers are willing and able to supply at various prices. This matches the Supply curve. O Both matches are false O Match 2 is correct and Match 1 is false. O Both matches are correct. O Match 1 is correct and Match 2 is false. Next 1 Previous

The demand side of the market for Sprite is comprised of 2 people. These people are William and Owen. P represents the price of 1 gallon of Sprite, and Qd represents the quantity demanded of Sprite in gallons. William's demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation QdW = 10 - 2P Owen's inverse demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation P = 10 - 2QdO (Part I) With this information, draw the market demand graph. Please label the graph for slope values, intercepts, kinks, etc. (Part II) The market supply is modeled by P = Qs. Let's say that the government places a subsidy of $8 (s = 8). As a result, what is the market equilibrium with this intervention of the government (Q**, PD**, and PS**)? (Part III) Please draw the market demand and market supply on a new graph and indicate/label the market equilibrium with the government intervention through a subsidy. Label the graph for slopes, subsidy, equilibrium points, etc.
