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

China’s Thirst for Gas Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, deteriorating pipelines in Alaska, and conflict in Iraq can cause gasoline prices to rise by restricting supply. Often the events we see in the headlines affect the supply of oil available to consumers, but changes in the level of world demand for petroleum products also affects the price of oil. China’s Growing Demand U.S. demand for petroleum products has been high for decades. The United States is the largest consumer of oil, using about a quarter of the world’s petroleum. This is quickly changing. Emerging nations are becoming thirsty for oil, and China is at the top of that list. How did such a rapid change happen? In the past, China has not needed much petroleum. As the country is industrializing, however, it needs more and more fuel to satisfy its growing energy needs. In fact, as the graph of oil consumption between 1995 and 2025 shows, China’s consumption is increasing much more rapidly than…
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 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.
The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water.

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.…
#10: The quantity demanded x (in units of a hundred) of the Mikado miniature cameras per week is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p= -0.2x² + 80 and the quantity x (in units of a hundred) that the supplier is willing to make available in the market is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p = 0.1x² + x + 40. If the market is set at the equilibrium price, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus.
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.
