Suppose Harry, Darby, and Jake are the only demanders of sandwiches. Also suppose the following: •x = 2. • The current price of a sandwich is $3.00. • The market quantity supplied of sandwiches is 4. • The slope of the supply curve is 2. Then there is currently a surplus of 6 sandwiches, and the equilibrium price of a sandwich is less than $3.00. shortage of 6 sandwiches, and the equilibrium price of a sandwich is less than $3.00. shortage of 6 sandwiches, and the equilibrium price of a sandwich is $5.00. surplus of 6 sandwiches, and the equilibrium price of a sandwich is $5.00.

If a supply curve shifts rightward, this means suppliers are willing and able to offer less of the good for sale at every price. suppliers are willing and able to offer more of the good for sale at every price. suppliers are willing and able to offer more of the good for sale only at a particular price.
QUESTION 4 Suppose the demand curve is given by P = 216 - 2Q and the supply curve is given by P = 5Q. Suppose the supply curve shifts left by 20. How much lower is total surplus in the new equilibrium than in the old equilibrium? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice…

Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only
Equilibrium Price: Skateboards The demand for your hand-made skateboards, in weekly sales, is q = -3p + 500 if the selling price is $p. You are prepared to supply q = 2p - 400 per week at the price $p. What price should you sell your skateboards for so that there is neither a shortage nor a surplus? per skateboard
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
Must consumers' surplus equal producers' surplus at equilibrium price? please explain
What is the consumer surplus in the market equilibrium? Again, the equations are: Qs = 3P-90 Qd = 400 - 5P
The following equations represent the annual quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art in Bratislava, Slovakia. Qd = 50,000-1,000P Qs = 10,000+3,000P, where P is the price of a ticket in euros. a) Suppose that there is a price floor of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes, how large will it be? b) Suppose that there is a price ceiling of 7 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes, how large will it be? c) Suppose that there is a price ceiling of 20 euros per museum ticket in Slovakia. Will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art? If yes,…
If, at the current price, there is a surplus of a good, then: A) the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied. B) the market must be in equilibrium C) the price is above the equilibrium price D) Both A and C.
Suppose the demand for fish tacos is given by the following equation: Qd 8-1P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of fish tacos, and P is the price of fish tacos. Suppose further that the supply of fish tacos is: Qs = 2 + 1P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of fish tacos. What is the equilibrium market price of fish tacos? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
