The graph represents the market for artichokes (in pounds per week) at a Midwest farmers' market. Suppose the equilibrium price of artichokes is $3 per pound and the equilibrium quantity is 100 pounds of artichokes per week. Using the graph, show the area representing producer surplus in this market, and then determine how much producer surplus will be generated by the market each week. Instructions: Use the tool provided "PS" to illustrate this area on the graph. Producer surplus: $[

Suppose that the price of materials used to produce computer hardware, such as graphics cards, is decreased. Show what occurs to price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the market for computers graphic cards using a supply-and-demand diagram (draw a graph). Furthermore, provide five explanations for what occurred.
Question 29 Describe where producer surplus is on the graph (use words or you can also draw and attach a drawing or photo of a drawing).
(Draw this out to check your work) If the supply curve shifts to the left and the demand curve shifts to the right at the SAME TIME, equilibrium price will definitely increase and equilibrium quantity will Group of answer choices definitely increase. definitely decrease. definitely stay the same. either increase, decrease, or stay the same, depending on which curve shifts the farthest.
A nomadic tribe in Lapland spends all its productive time hunting reindeer. Someof the reindeer meat is kept for consumption and the remainder is sold at a nearbytrading station in return for other goods. It is observed that when the price ofreindeer meat increases the amount the tribe is willing to supply decreases.(a) Sketch this situation in a diagram, with axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘all othergoods’. (Hint: locate the production position and sketch the consumptionopportunities line before and after the price change).(b) Determine if reindeer meat is an inferior good to the tribe?(Hint: consider what happens to the consumption position).(c) How does the analysis change if the tribe can hunt and trade fish as well as thereindeer? (Hint: now label the axes ‘reindeer meat’ and ‘fish’ and considerboth the production and consumption decisions

Just solve questions 32-36, thanks. 28 If a legal ceiling price is set below the equilibrium price: a shortage of the product will occur a surplus of the product will occur an underground market will evolve neither the equilibrium price nor equilibrium quantity will be affected 29. To economists, the main difference between "the short run" and "the long run" is that: the law of diminishing marginal returns applies in the long run but not in the short run in the long run, all resources are variable while in the short run, at least one resource is fixed fixed costs are more important to decision making in the long run than they are in the short run in the short run all resources are fixed, while in the long run all resources are variable 30.A surplus of product will occur when price is: above equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied above equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded below equilibrium…

Homework (Ch 05) The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Peacock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value $50,000 per year Average American household income Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) $200 per roundtrip Room rate at the Grandiose Hotel and Casino, which is near the Peacock $250 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

What did Lewis mean when he wrote that there was a surplus of labor in agriculture? How does one measure that surplus? To what standard is labor in surplus, that is, in surplus relative to what?
A student was asked to draw a demand and supply graph to illustrate the effect on the market for premium bottled water of a fall in the price of electrolytes used in some brands of premium bottled water, holding everything else constant. She drew the graph to the right and explained it as follows: "Electrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled water, so a fall in the price of electrolytes will cause the supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right (from S, to S₂). Because this shift in the supply curve results in a lower price (P₂), consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the right (from D, to D₂) We know that more premium bottled water will be sold, but we can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water will rise or fall. That depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right. I assume that the effect on supply is greater than the effect on demand, so I show…
In a market which demand and supply curves are shown below: Price ($/hour) 36- 32 28- 24 20- 16 12- 8- 4- 0 Demand Supply 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 Quantity (units/day) a) Calculate the consumer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Consumer Surplus = $0 b) Calculate the producer surplus for the market. (If necessary round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Producer Surplus = $0
