Which of the following would be consistent with this outcome?a. There was a decrease in input costs and consumers expected lower income.b. Consumers expected a lower price and firms expected a higher price.c. There was a decrease in income (the good is inferior) and a decrease in the number of firms.d. There was a positive change in consumer tastes and an increase in productivity.
When demand is _______ consumers are _______ to price changes and the price elasticity of demand is _______.a. elastic, relatively sensitive, greater than one (in absolute value)b. inelastic, completely insensitive, equal to one (in absolute value)c. inelastic, relatively sensitive, less than one (in absolute value)d. unit elastic, hyper-sensitive, equal to zeroe. perfectly elastic, hyper-sensitive, equal to one (in absolute value)…
Which of the following would cause a supply curve to shift to the left?
A. The cost of resources needed to produce a good increases.

C. The technology used to produce a good improves.
D. The number of sellers of a particular good increases.
The demand for rice is given by Q d=20-p and the supply is Q s=3p-20.
a. Draw the demand and supply functions. Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph.
b. Suppose due to drought the supply changes to 3p-30. The supply remains the same. Draw the new supply function on the same graph, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity. Has the demand increased or decreased? How did the equilibrium price and quantity change compared to part a.?
