Determinants of Supply and Demand Consider the market for minivans. Assume minivans are a normal good. For each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of demand or supply are affected. If demand is unaffected by this event because it creates only a supply change, select the "None" option under the "Demand Determinant" column. Similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates only a demand change, select the "None" option under the "Supply Determinant" column. Event Demand Determinant Supply Determinant People decide to have more children. A strike by steelworkers raises steel prices. Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of minivans. The price of sports utility vehicles rises. A stock-market crash lowers people's wealth. Show the effect of the following event on the market for minivans: People decide to have more children. (?) Show the effect of the following event on the market for minivans: A strike by…
The market for cellular phones has seen a combination of improving telecommunication technology and rising consumer incomes. Suppose you are told that the price of cellular phones decreased over the past five years. The decreasing prices of cellular phones, a normal good, implies that the magnitude of: A. he rightward shift of the demand curve is greater than that of the rightward shift of the supply curve B. The leftward shift of the demand curve is greater than that of the rightward shift of the supply curve C. The rightward shift of the demand curve is less than that of the rightward shift of the supply curve D. The rightward shift of the demand curve is less than that of the leftward shift of the supply curve
The quantity of a product demanded by consumers is a function of its price. The quantity of one product demanded may also depend on the price of other products. For example, if the only chocolate shop in town (a monopoly) sells milk and dark chocolates, the price it sets for each affects the demand of the other. The quantities demanded, q, and q2, of two products depend on their prices, p, and P2, k as follows: Enter the exact answers. If one manufacturer sells both products, how should the prices be set to generate the maximum possible revenue? What is that maximum possible revenue? P₁ = P2 = H. 9₁ = 9₂ = The maximum revenue is i 280 - 5p₁-3p2 360 - 3p₁ - 5p2.

From the graph, it is clear that the demand for gasoline is relatively (unit elastic, elastic, inelastic) and the supply for gasoline is relatively (unit elastic, elastic, inelastic). This is an example of a (positive or negative) supply shock and, referencing the graph below, is best represented by the shift (from curve 1 to curve 2 or from curve 2 to curve 1). If there's a price-gouging law in effect preventing gas stations from raising prices, then there will be an excess (supply, or demand) of _____ million gallons of gas. Suppose the government wants to alleviate the market imbalance. The best policy solution is to impose (import tariffs, production subsidies, import quotas, or purchasing limits) and the (cost or revenue) would be $______ million.
