Suppose exceptionally good weather provides a much bigger than expected orange harvest. Instructions: Depict how this event will affect the market for oranges by dragging the appropriate curve in the graph. Price (S/orange) Ž I Market for oranges Quantity (oranges/week) $ What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of oranges? ↑ Equilibrium price will decrease and equilibrium quantity will increase. Equilibrium price will increase and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will increase.
Suppose both the demand for olives and the supply of olives decline by equal amounts over some time period. Use graphical analysis to show the effect on equilibrium price and quantity.

Consider the following two equations for the demand and supply: Supply curve: Qs = 10 + 2P Demand curve: Qd = 30 − 12P (a) What is the value of the equilibrium price? (b) What is the equilibrium quantity? Suppose that clothes workers at a certain factory accept a pay cut of $3 per hour. (a) Draw a graph to show how this would affect the market for clothes. (b) Why does this shift occur? How does that affect the equilibrium price and quantity? Suppose that the price of product A increases from $10 to $19. As a result, quantity demanded for product B changes from 300 to 265. What can we say about products A and B? Explain.
Supply and Demand Problem Set[1] Use the following graph to answer questions 1 through 3: Plot the following Price and Quantity combinations: (4, 8), (1, 2), (5, 10) Is your graph more likely to be a demand curve or a supply curve? Why? Using the equation of a line, and P for price and Q for quantity, what is the algebraic formula of this curve? Use the following graph to answer questions 4 and 5: Plot the following Price and Quantity combinations. Note that the points are given in the format (Quantity, Price).(0, 50), (2, 40), (4, 30), (6, 20), (8, 10) Using the equation of a line, what is the algebraic formula of this demand curve?

Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice…

16. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Scenario 1 10 Supply Demand Supply Demand 2 10 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) PRICE (Dollars per pen)
