The demand and supply functions for Curling brooms are given by Qd = 286-20P, Qs = 88 + 40P •a. Graph the supply and the demand curves, clearly showing the intercepts and indicating the slopes of the two curves.. b. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of Curling . brooms. c. Suppose that both the men's and the women's teams win Olympic gold medals, causing an increase in the demand for Curling brooms across the country to Qd = 328-20P. What impact does this have on the price of Curling brooms and the quantity sold? Add this new demand curve and the resulting equilibrium to your graph.

Show all possible outcomes.
Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 14 - Q. Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2 + Q. Now a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4. Assume consumers are indifferent between generic and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. When the generic corn flakes enter the market, Kellogg's will sell how many less boxes of their own cereal?
There is a hypothetical market for bottled water. The market demand and supply are QD = 1150 – 100P and QS = -100 + 40OP. a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
The diagram to the right illustrates a hypothetical demand curve representing the relationship between price (in dollars per unit) and quantity (in 1,000s of units per unit of time). 100- 90- Total revenue is $ (Enter your response as an integer.) 80- 70- 60 60- 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- D 30 0- 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity (1,000s of units per unit of time) Price (dollars per unit)

Suppose that the inverse demand curve for a product is given by: P = 100-Qd+ 2M, where M is the average income in 1000 USD. The inverse supply is P = 0.5Q - 20. If M = 15 the equilibrium price is equal to and the equilibrium quantity is equal to 40, 60 100,30 30,100 60.40
Suppose the demand for organic bananas is given by the following equation: Qd = 10 - 1P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of organic bananas, and P is the price of organic bananas. Suppose further that the supply of organic bananas is: Qs = 3 + 2P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of organic bananas. What is the equilibrium market quantity of organic bananas? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
A baker will supply 17 jumbo cinnamon rolls to a cafe at a price of $3.91 each. If she is offered $3.15, then she will supply 4 fewer rolls to the cafe. The cafe's demand for jumbo cinnamon rolls is given by p = D(x) = -0.48x + 8.05. What is the equilibrium point? ___ rolls at a price of $ ___ each
DINKS are households with "double income, no kids", and such households are invading your neighbourhood. You decide to take advantage of this influx by starting a gourmet take-away food store. Assume that these DINKS in your neighbourhood are your only potential customers. You know that the price elasticity of demand for your food from DINKS is 0.5, and their income elasticity of demand is 1.5. From the standpoint of the quantity that you sell, explain which of the following changes would concern you most. First, the number of DINKS in your neighbourhood falls by 10 percent. Second, the average income of DINKS falls by 5 percent.
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations:QD = 300 – 20P,QS = -540 + 40P,where P is the price per unit in pounds. A) At the equilibrium point, what is the elasticity of demand? B) If the price is £12, what is the elasticity of demand?
