What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee when there is a leftward shift of the supply curve for tea? Explain. Explain why when the demand curve for a good is relatively elastic, a one percent increase in the price of the good will decrease total consumer expenditures on that good.

The following diagram illustrates the impact of an increase in demand. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? a) R12 R11 R10 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 Q Before the increase in demand, the equilibrium price is R10 and the equilibrium quantity is 900. b) Owing to an increase in demand, the demand curve shifts from D to D1. At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, the quantity demanded is 1 200 and the quantity supplied is 1 100. c) At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, there is an excess demand. d) A new equilibrium position is formed after the increase in demand at an equilibrium price of R12 and an equilibrium quantity of 1 100.

The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively. C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume. D) Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain. E) Use the demand equation in part (c) to compute price elasticity of demand between £5 and £6. Use the mid-point (arc) method.
From the following examples explain which one is expansion of demand and increase in demanded. i) Consumers demand more of chocolate ice-cream due to rise in the price of vanilla ice-cream. ii) Indian Airlines reduces its airfare by 30% to attract more passengers.
Suppose the technology to manufacture computers improves but due to some recession in the economy, the income of the consumers falls. Assuming computers to be a normal good, what will be the equilibrium quantity and price for computers in this case?"
Draw and label a graph that depicts a linear, downward-sloping demand curve for beef brisket. Assume that when Walmart increases the price of beef brisket the revenue from sales of beef brisket increases. Assume that the demand for brisket does not change (the demand curve does not shift). Is the demand for beef brisket price-elastic or price-inelastic?
Suppose that the market demand for Turkey is given by: Q_(T)=2-8P_(T)+2P_(C)+0.0015I Where Q_(T) is annual quantity demanded of turkey in million pounds, P_(T) is the price of turkey per pound, P_(C) is price of chicken per pound, and I is the average household income in dollars per year. a. Find the annual quantity demanded of turkey if the price turkey is $2.00 per pound, price of chicken is $1.50 per pound and the annual household income is $30,000.
Explain why each of the following statements is false: If beer and wine are substitutes, an increase in the price of beer will increase both the demand and supply of wine. An increase in the price of Pepsi would increase the quantity demanded of Coke but not the demand for Coke. An increase in income causes an increase in demand for all goods.
