If you buy something, you are never ripped off, at least according to the way economists think. If you are willing to spend the money for something, then it has at least that much utility to you. Think about the following three situations:
In this very moment
A baseball game in a ballpark that does not allow outside food and drink
The end a three-mile hike in the desert when you forgot water
In each situation, how much would you be willing to pay for the first bottle of water? Would you buy a second bottle of water? If so, how much would you pay? Discuss how utility changes in different circumstances and with each additional unit you buy.
Suppose that one summer the weather is very hot. How does this event affect the market for ice cream? And How a decrease in supply of ice cream affects the equilibrium price and quantity? Draw the graph according to the situations above. Which of the following statements are examples of positive economic analysis? Which are examples of normative analysis?a. The inheritance tax should be repealed because it is unfair.b. Allowing Chile to join NAFTA would cause wine prices in the United States to drop.c. The first priorities of the new regime in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire) should be to rebuild schools and highways and to provide basic health care.

- IGCSE ECONOMICS This proves that, as the price of a good rises, producer will want to supply more because (if they could sell all of the products they made) they would make more profit. Therefore the supply curve extends. As the price falls, quantity supplied contracts. This is because as the price falls, firms will expect to earn less profits. In the space below, draw a supply curve and show that as price rises, quantity supplied extends (like the example of p. 6 of the workbook) Shifts in supply curves As we have seen, a change in the price of a product will cause its supply curve to extend or contract. Changes in things other than the price will cause its whole supply curve to move (or shift). A movement of the whole supply curve for a good is called either an increase or decrease in supply. Examine the market supply schedule for disposable razors below. Possible price of razors (p) Original supply per month Increased supply per month 50 10 000 12 000 40 8.000 10 000 30 6 000 8 000…arrow_forwardWhen a market is in equilibrium, the economic problem has been solved.
