Predict how each of the following economic changes will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the financial market for home loans. Sketch a demand and supply diagram to support your answers. The number of people at the most common ages for home-buying increases. People gain confidence that the economy is growing and that their jobs are secure. Banks that have made home loans find that a larger number of people than they expected are not repaying these loans. Because of a threat of a war, people become uncertain about their economic future. The overall level of saving, in the economy diminishes. The federal government changes its bank regulations in a way that makes it cheaper and easier for banks to make home loans.
Assume that the supply of law-skilled worker is fairly elastic, but the employers demand for such workers is fairly inelastic. If the policy goal is to expand employment for low-skilled workers, is it better to focus on policy tools to shift the supply of unskilled labor or on tools to shift the demand for unskilled labor? What if the policy goal is to raise wages for this group? Explain your answer with supply and demand diagrams.
The price of coffee rose sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Leonard: Demand increased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Sheldon: Demand increased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Penny: Demand increased, but supply decreased at the same time. Howard: Supply decreased, but demand was unit elastic. Raj: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Who could possibly be right? Use graphs to explain your answer.
If supply is inelastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
solution plz
explain the concept of inelastic demand while cproviding an example
Suppose that the labor demand for restaurant waiters in a small city is LD = −10 + 20w where w is wage in dollars per hour.1. Derive the formula of the wage-elasticity of labor demand.2. Solve for the wage-elasticity of labor demand at the following wage rates below. Tell whetherlabor demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at each given wage rate.a. w = 4b. w = 6

Some states require individuals to acquire a license in order to work as an interior designer. Suppose that the government initially does not require a license to operate as an interior designer and that the labor market for interior designers is as given in the accompanying graph. Wage ($ per hour) Labor supply curve Quantity of workers (thousands) Labor demand curve Now, suppose the government institutes a policy that requires all interior designers to acquire a license in order to work in the field. a. Shift the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to illustrate the impact of this policy on the labor market for interior designers.
