The steel industry has been lobbying for high taxes on imported steel. Russia, Brazil, and Japan have been produc- ing and selling steel on world markets at $610 per metric ton, well below what equilibrium would be in the United States with no imports. If no imported steel was permitted into the country, the equilibrium price would be $970 per metric ton. Show supply and demand curves for the United States, assuming no imports; then show what the graph would look like if U.S. buyers could purchase all the steel that they wanted from world markets at $610 per metric ton; show the quantity of imported steel.

8. Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph plots the market for electric guitars in Chicago, where there are always over 1,000 music stores. Suppose the price of acoustic guitars decreases. (Assume that people regard electric guitars and acoustic guitars as substitutes.) Show the effect of this change on the market for electric guitars by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. 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. PRICE (Dollars per guitar) QUANTITY (Guitars) Supply Demand Demand Supply ? Now suppose Congress passes a new tax that decreases the income of Chicago reside If electric guitars are a normal good, this will cause the demand for electric guitars to decrease increase
Explain the following statements use supply-and-demand diagram where necessary. “An increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded but not the quantity supplied.” Is this statement true or false? Explain. Over the past 20 years, technological advances have reduced the cost of computer chips. How do you think this affected the market for computers? For computer software? For typewriters?
9. Shirts in supply or demana 11 The following graph shows the market for croissants in San Diego, where there are over 1,000 bakeries at any given moment. Suppose an innovation in the baking process makes it possible to produce more croissants at a lower cost than ever before. Show the effect of this change on the market for croissants by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. 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. PRICE (Dollars per croissant) QUANTITY (Croissants) Supply Demand Demand T Supply ?
8. Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph shows the market for donuts in Dallas, where there are over 1,000 donut shops at any given moment. Suppose a new scientific study shows that Dallas is the most polluted city in the world. Due to health concerns, a significant number of families move out of the city. Show the effect of this change on the market for donuts by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. 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. PRICE (Dollars per donut) QUANTITY (Donuts) Supply Demand Demand If donuts are a normal good, this will cause the demand for donuts to 0 Supply ? Now suppose Congress passes a new tax that decreases the income of Dallas residents.
Demand is highest for watermelon in the summer, yet that is also when prices are lowest. Draw a graph showing both demand and supply for watermelon in both the summer and the winter (i.e. two demand curves and two supply curves on one graph) that illustrates how this situation could be possible.
If the price of lemonade decreases due to insufficient demand, and its supply decreases at the same time, the equilibrium price will clearly rise. Illustrate each with supply and demand curves
4. Demand shifters The following graph shows the market demand for kumquats. Suppose that government reports link an outbreak of salmonella poisoning to a recent kumquat crop. Show the impact of the government report by shifting the demand curve on the following graph. Note: Select and drag the curve to the desired position. The curve 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. PRICE (Dollars per crate) Demand QUANTITY (Crates of kumquats) Demand The following graph shows the market demand for televisions, which are normal goods. Suppose that a deep economic recession causes consumer income to decline.
Analyze the impact of a change in demand or achange in supply or both (or it may not necessarily illustrate a change) on price(equilibrium price, market price) for the good under consideration and draw theappropriate graph for each article. Use D 1 , S 1 , P 1 , and Q 1 to symbolize initial demand,supply, equilibrium price and quantity respectively. Use D 2 , S 2 , P 2 , and Q 2 to representthe new demand, supply, equilibrium price and quantity respectively. B. Monthly average crude oil prices plunged 50% between January and March. Pricesreached an historic low in April with some benchmarks trading at negative levels.They are expected to average $35 per barrel in 2020, a sharp downward revisionfrom the October forecast and a 43% drop from the 2019 average of $61 per barrel.The downward revision reflects an historically large drop in demand. The decline incrude oil prices has been exacerbated by uncertainty around productionagreements among the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting…
