Suppose that the perfectly competitive chicken industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $3 per kilogram of chicken and a quantity of 600 million kilograms per year. Suppose Health Canada issues a report saying that eating chicken is bad for your health. Health Canada's report will cause consumers to demand chicken at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the supply curve, the demand curve, or both on the following diagram to illustrate these short-run effects of Health Canada's announcement. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther Supply Demand Supply Demand PRICE (Dellars per kilogram) QUANTITY Millions of kilograms M

The graph below represents the supply of Good X. The numbers on the chart show the percent changes in price and quantity moving along the supply curve. The numbers below the horizontal lines indicate the percent change in quantity, while the numbers to the right of the vertical lines indicate the percent change in price. Which portion of the supply curve for Good A is unitary elastic? Select the correct answer below: Point A to Point B Point B to Point C Point C to Point D Point D to Point E
Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
Viking Publishing House observed that in the recent years books on nature conservation and climate change have been very popular. As a matter of fact, Jane Goodall's latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet" has been a best-seller and Viking estimates the following demand curve for the book: P = 150 - Q In this equation, P is the price of the book and Q denotes yearly sales in thousands 20,000 books would be expressed as Q = 20 books. In other words, Viking estimates that it incurs a cost of $40 for printing and shipping of each book and pays a $10 royalty to Jane Goodall for each book sold. a. Calculate the profit maximizing OUTPUT and PRICE for this book. Also, calculate the TOTAL PROFITS.

Carlos's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Carlos produced four fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to five fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Carlos faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Carlos must lower his price from $105,000 to $90,000 per fire engine. Note that while Carlos gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial four engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000.

Draw a non-linear supply curve which is elastic at lower price levels, unit elastic at moderate price levels and inelastic at higher price levels. Explain why this kind of supply curve shows behavior of firms dealing with issues of capacity utilization at their factories in response to price changes. Given that demand for wheat is inelastic, show graphically and explain in detail how an improvement in farming technology which increases wheat production can reduce income of farmers. Explain why OPEC has been unable to keep prices of oil high in the long run, based on the changes in demand and supply elasticity of oil.
The widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $26, $14, $10, $5, and $3 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.
You own a bakery and shop that makes and sells gourmet doggie treats. You have done market research and you know with certainty that your product is a normal good, not an inferior good. The current demand function for your gourmet doggie treats is: QD = 480 -6*P which of course means the equation for your current demand curve is: P = 80 -(1/6)*Q You are opening a new shop in a new part of town, and you know that incomes in that part of town are much lower than incomes are where your shop is now. Which of the following is most likely the demand curve in your new shop? Multiple Choice O P=68- (1/6)*Q P = 102 - (1/6)*Q P=92-(1/6)*Q P = 88 - (1/6)*Q
