- Suppose the quantity demanded rises by 20 million pounds of coffee per month at each price. Draw the initial demand and supply curves based on the values given in the table above. Then draw the new demand curve given by this change, and show the new equilibrium price and quantity.arrow_forwardThe graph below shows the market for gasoline and is currently in equilibrium. An earthquake has struck an area known for oil drilling, damaging many oil rigs. Oil is a key input in the production of gasoline. The earthquake occurred during the summer when gasoline is typically in higher demand as people have an increased desire to go on vacation. Indicate these changes in the gasoline market by shifting both the demand and supply curves. Hint: Since this problem involves two disturbances, we need two four-step analyses. Provide your answer below: Price of Gasoline Supply Demandarrow_forwardHow will each of the following changes in demand and/or supply affect equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a competitive market; that is do price and quantity rise, fall, remain unchanged, or are the answers indeterminate because they depend on the magnitudes of the shifts?

- Last year, 1000 gallons of almond milk (a non-dairy product) were sold at a price of $10. Yet, this year, a bad harvest in California has wiped out a significant part of the almond harvest. At the same time, a larger number of people are looking to shift away from dairy products towards non- dairy alternatives. Because of these two changes, the equilibrium price will increase and change in the equilibrium quantity is unambiguous. the equilibrium price will decrease but change in the equilibrium quantity is ambiguous. the change in the equilibrium price is ambiguous, but the equilibrium quantity will increase. O the equilibrium price will increase but change in the equilibrium quantity is ambiguous.arrow_forwardDraw a model: Consider the market for corn. Suppose that right now, the equilibrium price is considered “too low” by farmers (i.e. suppliers) in order to make a living. These farmers go to their state representatives and convince them to enact a price floor that is above the equilibrium price. Depict this situation graphically. Is there a shortage or a surplus (or does nothing happen)? Now, conceptually, describe how we know with certainty, that consumers are harmed by this policy. Then, describe conceptually how farmers may be harmed or may benefit from this policy. Graphically depict how we know that consumers are harmed while farmers may be better or worse off (ambiguous). If we were to consider the “total surplus” of consumers and farmers, can we say with certainty whether this economy is better or worse off from the price floor?arrow_forwardBrick and mortar retail stores were particularly hard hit by the pandemic and several large chains went bankrupt. Others survived by developing or switching to online sales platforms and developing systems like a curbside pickup. Using the lessons of supply and demand analysis, and in particular, the discussion of demand and supply shifters, answer the following and explain your answer: 1) Do these innovations affect supply or demand, imposing the â€all else constant†assumption (the only one can be affected). 2) Identify the shifter. 3) Which direction does the curve you identified shift and why? 4) Describe what happens to price and quantity at the new equilibrium.arrow_forward
- Suppose firms exit the market for widgets. This would A (increase/decrease) the A (supply/demand) of widgets. At the same time, health researchers publish research that widgets increase your risk for cancer. This would A (increase/decrease) the A (supply/demand) for our widgets. Suppose the change in demand is stronger than the change in supply, the equilibrium price of widgets (increases/decreases/ambiguously changes). A/ changes), and the equilibrium quantity of widgets A (increases/decreases/ambiguouslyarrow_forwardA key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyze specific markets. With this assignment, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to apply what you have learned to the coffee market. Be sure to answer all parts of each of the scenarios below. Students may utilize Paint, Word (the shapes tool under Insert), OneNote (Draw tab), or hand draw the graphs. Scenario 1: Suppose that the FDA increases regulations for coffee. Will this affect the supply or demand for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before and after curves on the same axes. How will this change affect the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning. Scenario 2: Suppose the Mayo publishes a study finding that the caffeine in coffee increases the probability of getting Alzheimer’s. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show…arrow_forwardtrue or false - explain in short be supported with an economic model. If the demand for and supply of a product both increases, the equilibrium quantity of the product must also increase. If the demand for a product decreases and the supply of the product increases, the equilibrium price of the product may increase or decrease, depending on whether supply or demand has shifted more. Assume that there is a fixed supply in the market. A higher price will result from a change in demand brought about by a rise in income.arrow_forward
- All jurisdictions in the United States have laws against drunk driving, with penalties ranging from lost driving privileges to jail time. But in many jurisdictions, establishments can also be held liable for selling alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons who then cause accidents. In those locales, having drunk drivers on the road is a negative externality that both consumers and producers must internalize.The effect on the supply and demand curves for alcoholic beverages is to shift both curves to the left: as drinkers moderate their intake, demand drops from DInternal to DSocial, and as bars and liquor stores refuse service to drunk patrons, supply drops from SInternal to SSocial. Which point on the graph represents the social optimum in this situation? Mark your answer using the point tool.arrow_forwardBased on the model of demand and supply, the demand and supply functions are given at the following equations: P = 4QS QD = 500 – P Where: QS is the number of packs of cigarettes offered for sale; QD is the number of packs of cigarettes purchased on the market, P is the price of pack of cigarettes. Find the equilibrium price and the number of packs of cigarettes at market equilibrium. To reduce cigarette consumption, the state has set a minimum price of P=15. Determine the size of the imbalance at this price.arrow_forwardin the Fall of 2020, international demand for U.S. grains grew, pushing up the prices for grains. Indeed grain prices grew nearly 50% in the last 6 months. Your task as an analyst is to analyze the changes in the market for corn. Using a graph, depict the changes that took place in the corn market. Clearly show and explain any shifts in demand and/or supply curves. Label any shifted curves as D1 and/or S1. If the curves have not shifted, please explain why. Clearly show the new market equilibrium. Label the new equilibrium price as P1 and equilibrium quantity as Q1arrow_forward
