3. Efficiency in production and consumption levelsConsider an economy that only produces and consumes soy and vegetables (in perfectly competitive markets). Theproduction possibility frontier for this economy is shown on the following graph (labeled P), along with theindifference curve reflecting the preferences of people in this economy (U1).Initially, the ratio of the prices of the two goods is given by the black budget line (X symbols).

Tips ps Chapter 04 Homework The following table presents the monthly demand and supply in the market for oat milk in New York City. PRICE (Dolars per gallon of oat milk) 2 On the following graph, plot the demand for oat milk using the blue point (circle symbol). Next, plot the supply of oat milk using the orange point (square symbol). Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oat milk. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. ?

Illustrate the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity using supply and demand curves. Be sure to label everything. Use the 4 step process. a) The effect of an increase in the price of lumber on the market for newly constructed homes b) The effect of a decrease in the price of chicken on the market for beef (assume they are substitutes) c) The effect of an increase in income on the market for ramen noodles (assume they are inferior goods)
The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water.
