There is a price ceiling below the equilibrium price. The new equilibrium quantity sold in this market is-
Over the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above. E) B and D only
Last year, a man shared a video on TikTok of himself longboarding to work while drinking a bottle of OceanSpray juice. This resonated with the online community and kicked off a challenge to reproduce the scene using the same drink. Use the Four-Step method and draw a supply/demand graph to predict the effect on equilibrium price and quantity for OceanSpray. Clearly label your graph and upload it to the dropbox labeled (you may draw it on paper and take a picture, or use some other software).
The Organization for the Promotion of Brussels Sprouts has convinced the government of Ironia to institute a price floor on the sale of Brussels sprouts at $8 per bushel. Demand is given by:P = 9 – Qand supply by:P = 2Q,where Q is measured in thousands of bushels.Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number.a. At market equilibrium, the price is $ per bushel and the equilibrium quantity is thousand bushels.b. With the price floor, the price is $ per bushel and the quantity sold is thousand bushels.c. The excess quantity supplied of Brussels sprouts produced with the price floor is thousand bushels.
A rent-a-car company currently rents their cars out at the market price of £50 per day, with renters paying for their petrol. the manager learns that economists expect petrol prices to rise dramatically over the next year. Using demand and supply analysis, illustrate and explain what the manager should expect to the price of the cars her company rents? Clearly identify the new equilibrium price and quantity for both petrol and Enterprise rent-a-car cars.
For each of the following changes in the demand or supply curves in the automobile market below, draw a graph showing the old demand and supply curves as well as the new demand or supply curve (whichever shifts). Also show how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity change. Show work on 3 different graphs. With lower trade barriers, foreign automakers export more cars to the U.S. U.S. automobile workers unionize. Due to research and development (R&D), new technologies enable automakers to produce cars much faster.
Advances in research and development in the pharmaceutical industry have enabled manufacturers to identify potential cures more quickly and therefore at a lower cost. At the same time, the aging of our society has increased the demand for new drugs. Construct a supply and demand diagram of the market for pharmaceutical drugs. Illustrate the impacts of these developments, and evaluate the effects on the market price and the equilibrium quantity.
Refer to Example 2.10, which analyzes the effects of price controls on natural gas. Recall that the free-market wholesale price of natural gas (PG) is $6.40 per mcf (thousand cubic feet), the average price of crude oil (Po) is $50 per barrel, and production and consumption of gas (Q) are 23 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Suppose the price elasticity of supply of natural gas is 0.20, the cross-price elasticity of supply of natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 0.12, the price elasticity of demand for natural gas is -0.60, and the cross-price elasticity of demand for natural gas with respect to the price of oil is 1.25. If so, then the linear supply curve for natural gas is OA. Q=1.346-1.638PG +0.055PO B. Q=12.056+0.368PG -0.495PO- O C. Q=16.296 +0.495P + 1.638Po O D. Q=10.562 +1.066PG-0.327Po O E. Q=15.648+0.719P+0.055Po

In 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a new farm bill establishing the Margin Protection Program (MPP) for dairy producers. Assume that the program has effectively created a price floor for milk at $0.18 per pound. Use the following additional information to answer the following questions: Without the price floor, the equilibrium price of milk is $0.15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 200 billion pounds of milk. The supply curve intersects the price axis at $0.05 and the demand curve intersects the price axis at $0.25. At the price floor of $0.18, the quantity supplied is 260 billion, and the quantity demanded is 140 billion. To support the price floor, the USDA buys up the 120 billion pounds of excess milk. i. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much consumer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. ii. With the price floor at $0.18 per pound of milk, how much producer surplus is created? Do not round your answer. iii. With the price…
Consider the world market for wheat, in which Russia is a larger producer. Suppose there is a major failure in Russia's wheat crop due to a severe drought. Explain the likely effect on the equilibrium price and quantity in the world wheat market. Also, explain why Canadian wheat farmers certainly benefit from this drought
Suppose that the government establishes a price ceiling of $3.70 for wheat. What might prompt the government to establish this price ceiling?
