Thinking about the market for waffles from the previous question, describe what would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity for waffles if the following events occur. Treat each event as a separate occurrence. In other words these events are not happening at the same time. For each question simply write "up" or "down" in the answer box. Any response other than "up" or "down" will result in an incorrect answer. Event 1: There is a shortage of maple syrup causing the price to rise significantly. Will the equilibrium price of waffles go up or down in response to an increase in the price of maple syrup? Will the equilibrium quantity of waffles go up or down in response to an increase in the quantity of maple syrup? Event 2: A study reveals that people who eat waffles at least once a week live longer and have fewer health problems. Will the equilibrium price of waffles go up or down after this study is released? Will the equilibrium quantity of waffles go up or down after this study is released?

Question 32 Referring to the panels, which of the four panels represents the market for bikini bathing suits as a result of the invention of a new technology that allows for faster sewing of such bathing suits? Group of answer choices Panel (d) Panel (c) Panel (a) Panel (b)
When sold for $790.00, a certain desktop has an annual supply of 129.5 million computers and an annual demand of 155.5 million computers. When the price increases to $865.00, the annual supply increases to 147.5 million computers, and the demand drops to 134.5 million computers. NOTE: Round slope and vertical intercept to 4 decimal places and use those rounded values to the end. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, find the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equation p = esc (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mq + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity (in billions). The slope and y-intercept should be accurate to 4 decimal places). (b) Find the Equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price p = Equilibrium quantity q = 9- F2 A (Note: The equilibrium price should be accurate to 2 decimal places and quantity should be rounded to the nearest whole number, and the equilibrium price should include a…
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.

Questions 2 What happens to the price and quantity demanded of peanuts when a new study finds peanuts are higher in saturated fats than other nuts. Also, a drought hurts peanut production. Data suggests a smaller supply change than demand change. If applicable, explain supply and demand curve movements in your response. (assume upward sloping supply curve and downward sloping demand curve) (assume similar elasticities-slopes).
(d) Consider the following demand-supply model: P =15−Qd; P =3+Qs Use the equilibrium condition Qd=Qs=Q, and find the equilibrium price and quantity. Show this equilibrium in a graph. (e) What are definitional, behavioral, and conditional equations? Give examples.
QUESTION 4 In preparation for the new season, a local junior soccer club attempts to predict the number of children that will register to play soccer at different prices. The club believes that at a price of $162.83 per child, 90 children will register to play soccer. Additionally, at a price of $88.04 per child, it is believed that 130 children will register to play soccer. It cannot be assumed that the demand curve is linear. Calculate the midpoint price elasticity of demand for soccer registrations. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places, giving a positive value for elasticity.
