Suppose gold (G) and silver (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also that the supplies of both are fixed in the short run (QG=60 and QS=300) and that the demands for gold and silver are given by the following equations:
PG= 960-QG+0.50PS
PS= 600-QS+0.50PG
a) What is the equilibrium prices ($) of gold and silver?
b) What if a new discovery equilibrium of gold doubles the quantity supplied to 120? How will this discovery affect the prices of both gold and silver?
A decrease in the price level will:(a) shift the AS curve to the left.(b) shift the AD curve to the left.(c) shift the AS curve to the right.(d) leave both the AD curve and the AS curve unchanged.
True or False (Why?): An increased price level reduces the quantities of investment goods and consumer durables demanded.

- Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the average price level for consumers rose 5.4% over the past year. While some are expressing concern over rising inflation leading the economy to “overheat,” there is some evidence indicating that this is due to the reopening of the economy as producers adjust to rising demand for goods and services. Many of the goods with the largest price increases, like bacon or cars and trucks, cannot have their production ramped up as quickly as demand is increasing. Other industries are facing supply chain challenges, like shortages of truck drivers. These problems are most likely to be short term, so, as supply catches up with demand, we can expect to see prices return to normal. As evidence, after spiking to record highs in early summer, lumber prices have now fallen below their price at the start of the year. The reason for the dramatic price increase earlier in the year was a combination of reduced supply in 2019 and a surge in demand…arrow_forwardPlease see attached image.
