Which of the following is true about
quantity supplied? *
The quantity supplied of a good is equal to
the difference between the quantity
available and the quantity desired by all
consumers and producers.
The quantity supplied of a good is the same
thing as the quantity demanded at each
price.
The quantity supplied of a good is the
amount that the producers are planning to
sell at a particular price during a given time
period.
The quantity supplied of a good is the
amount the firm would sell if it faced no
resource constraints.
Suppose that supply and demand for a certain commodity are described by the supply curve, p = 0.0002q + 0.03 and demand curve, p = - 0.001q + 35.31. Determine the quantity of the commodity that will be produced and the selling price.
The quantity of the commodity that will be produced is
Suppose that the demand curve for corn has the equation p = -0.29q+6.265 and the supply curve for corn has the equation p = 0.2q +2.1, where p is the price per bushel in dollars and q is the
quantity (demanded or produced) in billions of bushels.
(a) Find the quantities supplied and demanded when the price of corn is $3.40 per bushel.
(b) Determine the quantity of corn that will be produced and the price at which it will sell.

- An economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.arrow_forwardLast 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_forwardConsider the economy of Russia, which produces oil and cars that are sold both domestically and internationally. Suppose an increase in foreign income causes an increase in the world demand for oil, whereas the supply does not change. The following graph shows the market for oil in Russia. Adjust the following graph to show the effect of a higher demand for oil on the economy of Russia. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forward

- The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?arrow_forwardCan you show me how to solve the last two?arrow_forwardConsider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice from the technological improvement. Explain the effects on the farmer's revenue from both types of rice after the change in technology and support your answers with one suitable market diagram. In addition, discuss the situation where the improvement in technology may be detrimental to the producers. Please provide one suitable market diagramarrow_forward
- The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Initial Value Average American household income $50,000 per year Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) $250 per roundtrip Room rate at the Lucky Hotel and Casino, which is near the Big Winner $200 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.
