Suppose that the demand for broccoli is given by Demand: Q = 1,000 – 5P where Q is quantity per year measured in hundreds of bushels and P is price in dollars per hundred bushels. The long-run supply curve for broccoli is given by Supply: Q = 4P – 80 a. Show that the equilibrium quantity here is Q = 400. At this output, what is the equilibrium price? How much in total is spent on broccoli? What is consumer surplus at this equilibrium? What is producer surplus at this equilibrium? b. How much in total consumer and producer surplus would be lost if Q= 300 instead of Q = 400? c. Show how the allocation of the loss of total con- sumer and producer surplus between suppliers and demanders described in part b depends on the price at which broccoli is sold. How would the loss be shared if P = 140? How about if P = 95? d. What would the total loss of consumer and pro- ducer surplus be if Q = 450 rather than Q = 400? Show that the size of this total loss also is indepen- dent of the price at which the broccoli is sold. e. Graph your results.

The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The pandemic has likely reduced the demand for restaurant meals. It has also likely raised the fixed costs of a typical restaurant (because owners have needed to reconfigure seating and install new ventilation systems). a)What will these two developments do to the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for restaurant meals? b)What will these two developments do to the number of meals produced and the profits of a typical restaurant in the short run?
Consider the following statement: "The market supply for natural gas is the sum of all prices that natural gas producers are willing and able to sell at for every quantity." What is the flaw in this statement? Select the correct answer. It should state that market supply is the sum of the quantities of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at every price. It should state that market supply is the price of natural gas that one firm is willing and able to provide a specified quantity of its product at. There is no flaw in this statement. It should state that market supply is the quantity of natural gas that producers are willing and able to sell at one specific price.

The following graph shows the market for annual tortilla chip consumption, which is initially in long-run equilibrium at point D. After the change in tastes and the rightward shift in demand, the market moves to point in the short run and then to point in the long run. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot the long-run market supply curve for tortilla chips, making sure that it goes through two of the points A, B, C, or D.

Consider a market for solar energy panels as shown in the given graph. Due to a major breakthrough in terms of technological advancement in its manufacturing, the cost of production has gone down drastically. This causes the manufacturers of solar energy panels to shift their supply curve. Show the impact of this technological advancement on the supply curve of solar energy panels. Using the Line drawing tool, draw the new supply curve of solar energy panels. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity demanded after the supply curve of solar energy panels shifts? O A. Both price and quantity demanded increase. O B. Both price and quantity demanded decrease. O C. Price increases and quantity demanded decreases. O D. Price decreases and quantity demanded increases. Click the graph choose a tool in the palette and follow the instructions to create your graph Price of solar panels Graph Quantity of solar…

Copy of The following graph displays four supply curves (HH, II, JJ, KK) that intersect at point A. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 400 360 320 280 240 200 160 120 80 40 0 H 0 40 80 A SE H + 120 160 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Units) Using the graph, choose the statements that are true: Between points A and C, curve KK is inelastic. Between points A and B, curve II is perfectly inelastic. Curve KK is more elastic between points A and C than curve JJ is between points A and D. Between points A and E, curve HH is perfectly inelastic.
Suppose cowboy boots and leather vests are complements. If the price of cowboy boots increases significantly, what should we expect to happen to the supply curve for leather vests in the short run? We expect the supply curve to shift right. We shouldn't expect anything in particular to happen to the supply curve. We expect the supply curve to shift left.
