Suppose the market for hats is competitive, with many small producers of hats, each of them unable toaffect the market price of hats, and many consumers. And suppose there is an increase in the demandfor hats.(a) How would an increase in demand affect the demand curve and supply curve for hats; and howwould it change the equilibrium price and quantity of hats sold?(b) The Core Economics text observes that "price-taking is no longer a “Nash equilibrium". Whatis a “Nash equilibrium"? And why is price-taking no longer one?(c) When the market is not in equilibrium, it is said that the short side of the market dominates.What does this mean?(d) What are "economic rents"? How does "rent seeking" enter the process of price adjustment?(e)In what ways might the market for hats differ from "the labour market"?

Consider the demand for shrimp shown in Figure 2. Suppose the current demand for shrimp is D (in black), the current price of a pound of shrimp is $10, and the current quantity demand for shrimp is 200K. Which of the following correctly describes the effect of a decrease in the price of a pound of shrimp? A) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve shifts left to D'' (red), and the quantity demand for shrimp remains at 200K pounds. B) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve remains at D (black), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases to 150K pounds. C) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve shifts right to D' (blue), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases to 270K pounds. D) The price of a pound of shrimp falls to $3, the demand curve remains at D (black), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases to 270K.
Consider the demand for soap shown in Figure 1 above. What is quantity demand for soap if the price of a pound of soap is $10? A) 210 pounds B) 248 pounds C) 286 pounds D) 305 pounds
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.
Suppose that the market for porcelain lupines in Freedonia is perfectly competitive and initially in a long nun equilibrium. Porcelain lupines are normal goods in Freedonia and are produced with a computer aided technology. Porcelain lupines and ceramic roses are substitutes while porcelain lupines and glass vases are complements. Suppose that a government report shows that people who possess ceramic roses are 72.74% more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Describe with the use of diagrams the effects of this report upon the market for porcelain lupines in the short run and in the long run.

Suppose there are 30 companies in a commercial building. Initially there is no fire sprinkler system in the public area of the building. The companies have identical individual demand curve for the fire sprinklers which is given by the equation: P = 10-0.5 Q, where P is the price of fire sprinkler and Q is the quantity of fire sprinkler. A)Explain why it is difficult for this commercial building to install the optimal quantity of fire sprinklers if there is no central party to coordinate the installation.
