(a)
To determine
If quantity supplied exceeds the quantity, then price tends to fall, identify whether the statement belongs to positive, normative or art of economies.

To determine
The government should take into account to determine the tax rate, identify whether the statement belongs to positive, normative or art of economies.
(c)
To determine

Hello. Could someone explain to me how demand and supply works in economics
Describe and show on a separate graph how each of the following developments would affect the market price and quantity of chocolate chip cookies.
a. The end of conflicts in major cocoa-producing regions lowers the costs of producing cocoa, and so causes the price of cocoa (a major ingredient in chocolate) to fall.
b. In an effort to improve health, the government imposes a tax on chocolate chip cookies of 25 cents per cookie.
how is the price of Fertilizer determined? we know that the price of a good is formed from the interaction of supply and demand. Producers will not sell a good below the cost of production. Demand changes the price due to competition; more demand drives the price up, less demand brings the price down. when you discuss how the price is determined:
Taxes: is the good taxed? (e.g. cigarettes have a high tax)
Costs of production: (resources, labor, etc.)
Transportation
Competition: is the good in high demand?
Give a summary of the factors that go into the price of the good.

(An example might be Nashville after the spring floods or New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.) Other than building supplies (which is too easy :), choose a market for a good or service that will be affected. Will demand or supply be affected? (Even if it might be both, just choose one or the other to keep it simpler). What happens to equilibrium prices and output in this market? Draw a supply and demand graph for your own use, and then explain the process in detail. Choose a market that has not already been chosen by a classmate. Be creative and thoughtful!arrow_forward
