Suppose that you decide to start a new business of making children’s ready-made garments. Make a (Hypothetical) linear supply schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity supplied for your business. Make a graph showing equilibrium, shortage and surplus in the ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose cheap ready-made garments are imported from China. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity for the Pakistani ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that to boost the local industry, the Pakistani government gives subsidy on electricity prices. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…
