Suppose the demand and supply for milk is described by the following equations: Qp= 7000-100P; Qs=-3000+400P, where P is price in dollars, QD is quantity demanded in millions of gallons per year, and Qs is quantity supplied in millions of gallons per year. Calculate equilibrium quantities and price. 2. If the price in the above market is $15 would the market be in equilibrium, surplus or shortage? If it is in surplus or shortage, how much would the shortage or surplus be?

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
Suppose demand and supply are given by Qsx =P-20 Qdx = 60-P What are equilibrium price and quantity in the market? Draw the graph of equilibrium as well? Determine quantity demand, quantity supply and magnitude of surplus/shortage if prices $50 and $32 are imposed in the market?
The table below shows the monthly demand and supply of gallons of Ghana Nuts Oil at different prices. Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follows: Price per gallon Quantity of gallons demanded Quantity of gallons Supplied 20 5000 1000 25 4000 2000 30 3000 3000 35 2000 4000 40 1000 5000 Use the information in the table to sketch the demand and supply curve on the same axis. (NOTE: Graph sheet is not needed). What is the equilibrium price and quantity? Which of the prices would cause shortages? Calculate the shortages that may occur at those prices. Suppose the Government of Ghana imposes a minimum price legislation which led to surpluses in the oil market, discuss two ways that can be use to address or mitigate the surpluses in the market. Suppose the price of Ghana Nut Oil increase from 20 to 25, calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply of Ghana Nut Oil. Demand and Supply which one is more…

Answer the following questions by using demand and supply analysis. a) Beef supplies are sharply reduced because of a drought in the animal raising cities, and consumers turn to chicken as a substitute for beef. i. How would you illustrate this change in the beef-market in supply-and- demand terms? How do the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of beef change? How would you illustrate this change in the chicken-market in supply-and- demand terms? How do the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of chicken change? ii. b) During the summer months, the price of ice cream increases and the quantity of ice creams sold also increases. Is this a violation of the law of demand? Briefly explain and discuss your response.
a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…

In each of the following scenarios, explain the changes in either supply or demand that would result. If the initial equilibrium price were yet to change, indicate whether a surplus or a shortage would result. Given this, what do you expect will subsequently happen to the price of the good?
