At a price of $4.69 per pound, the supply for cherries is 16,210 pounds, and the demand is 10,280 pounds. When the price drops to $4.22 per pound, the supply decreases to 10,940 pounds and the demand increases to 12,746 pounds. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. What is the equilibrium quantity? Round to the nearest pound. pounds.
Find the equilibrium price and quantity for a product that has the following supply and demand curves, where p is the price in 100's of dollars and q is quantities in 1,000's of units demand: 1/3q + 1/3p - 4=0 Supply: q-p-2=0 If the product is currently priced at $400, what is the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded? Is there a surplus (More supplied than demanded) or a shortage (More demanded than supplied)
Suppose exceptionally good weather provides a much bigger than expected orange harvest. Instructions: Depict how this event will affect the market for oranges by dragging the appropriate curve in the graph. Price (S/orange) Ž I Market for oranges Quantity (oranges/week) $ What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of oranges? ↑ Equilibrium price will decrease and equilibrium quantity will increase. Equilibrium price will increase and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will increase.
In the market for hats, demand decreases and supply increases. If you know nothing else about happens in the market for hats, what would you predict would happen to the equilibrium price? The equilibrium price decreases The equilibrium price stays the same The equilibrium price increases There is not enough information to determine how the equilibrium price will change
The distinction between a change in demand and a change in quantity demanded is best made by saying that: a change in quantity demanded causes a change in demand. a change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in price and a change in demand is caused by a change in other factors. a change in both quantity demanded and demand is caused by a change in price. a change in demand is caused by a change in price and a change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in other factors.
Given these supply and demand relationships drawn, if the actual price is $14, which of the following statements are TRUE? At $14, the demand is 16 At $14, the quantity demanded is 16 The equilibrium quantity s 12 At $14, the quantity supplied is 16 The equilibrium quantity is 16 At $14, the supply is 16 The equilibrium price is $14 At $14, the quantity supplied is 9 At $14, the supply is 9 The equilibrium price is $17 At the equilibrium price supply and demand would be equal At a price of $17, the quantity demanded and quantity supplied would be equal At $14 there is a market shortage of 7 units At $14 there is a market shortage of 4 units At $14 there is a market surplus of 7 units. Supply and Demand are equal at P=17.
An increase in supply and a decrease in demand occur in a market. What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity?
The market for grape jelly is initially in equilibrium and is shown below. Poor weather conditions have resulted in an unusually low production of grapes. Demonstrate this effect on the equilibrium price and quantity of grape jelly by shifting the appropriate curve on the graph below. Provide your answer below. Price Supply Demand Quantity
Consider the supply and demand for electric cars. If the materials used to make specifically electric car batteries become significantly more expensive at the same time that consumer income drastically increases, what will happen to the price and quantity demanded of electric cars?
‌If we observe the price of a good or service rising, then the most likely cause is ‌an increase in demand‌ a temporary surplus a small increase in demand followed by a huge increase in supply an increase in supply
The demand for watches is given by p= 7000 - 2q dollars and the supply of watches is given by p = 0.01q2 + 2q + 1000 dollars where q is the number of watches demanded and supplied when the price per watch is p dollars. Based on the information provided calculate the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price for watches.
