6. Determinants of demand The following graph input tool shows the demand for sedans in New York City. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Initially, the calculator shows market demand under the following circumstances: average household income is $50,000 per year, the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas is $3 per gallon, and the price of a subway ride is $1.50. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the questions that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustment made to the graph used in the tool.) PRICE (Thousands of dollars per sedan) Demand 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 QUANTITY (Sedans per month) Graph Input Tool Price of a sedan (Thousands of dollars) Quantity of sedans (Sedans per month) Average Income (Thousands of dollars) Price of gasoline (Dollars per gallon) Price of a subway ride Suppose that the price of a sedan decreased from $25,000 to $20,000. This would cause a 25 450 50 $3.00 $1.50 Suppose that…
Which of the following is true if both the demand for and supply of oranges increase? A. it is clear that prices will increase, the change in the quantity of oranges sold is ambiguous. B. it is clear that quantity sold will increase, the change in the price of oranges is ambiguous. C. it is clear that prices will decrease, the change in the quantity of oranges sold is ambiguous. O D. it is clear that quantity sold will decrease, the change in the price of oranges is ambiguous.
1. Make a graph to illustrate the effects of the following events on the demand curve and explain: b. Coconut - scientists claim that Virgin coconut oil (VCO) can be helpful in curing COVID-19.
2. Individual and market demand Suppose that Sean and Yvette are the only consumers of shoes in a particular market. The following table shows their annual demand schedules: Price (Dollars per pair) 10 20 30 40 50 PRICE (Dollars per pair) On the following graph, plot Sean's demand for shoes using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Yvette's demand for shoes using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for shoes using the blue points (circle symbol). (?) 60 50 30 20 10 0 0 16 Sean's Quantity Demanded Yvette's Quantity Demanded (Pairs) (Pairs) 32 64 20 48 12 32 4 24 0 16 32 48 64 QUANTITY (Pairs) 80 96 Sean's Demand Yvette's Demand O Market Demand Now, suppose that Yvette's twin brother, who likes shoes just as much a Yvette, moves to the area, adding another consumer in the market. As a result, there will be a ▼ the market demand curve because there will be a change in quantity demanded
nich of the following statements relating to demand and supply is false? The substitution of higher-priced item with lower-priced goods by buyers is a reason why the quantity demanded of a good decreases when price increases. The demand curve of a good represents the value that individual buyers place on that good. Based on the income effect, the real income of buyers increases when the price of a good increases, and hence the quantity demanded of a good increases with price. O The supply curve of a good represents the opportunity costs to produce and sell the good for individual sellers of that good.
King Hardware sold 7 pounds of screws yesterday at a price of $5.00 per pound. This point is represented by the black plus symbol on the diagram below, which plots the price of screws (measured in dollars per pound) and the quantity sold (measured in pounds).

The area of one small square is therefore
3. Individual and market demand Suppose that Hubert and Kate are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly demand schedules: Price (Dollars per slice) 1 2 3 4 5 Hubert's Quantity Demanded (Slices) 8 5 3 1 0 Kate's Quantity Demanded (Slices) 16 12 8 4 2 On the following graph, plot Hubert's demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Kate's demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.

o Suppose the Canadian government has decided to place an excise tax of $20 per tire on producers of automobile tires. Excise taxes are also called sales or commodity taxes. Previously, there was no excise tax on automobile tires. As a result of the excise tax, producers of tires, such as Bridgestone and Michelin, are going to alter their tire prices. The graph illustrates the demand and supply curves for automobile tires before the excise tax. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to demonstrate the impact of the new tax. What is the price consumers pay for a tire post tax? Round to the nearest 10. price paid by consumers: $ What is the price producers receive for a tire net of taxes? Round to the nearest 10.
