Assume that we are looking at the market for snowblowers in December. The initial equilibrium is at a price of $500 and quantities of 1,000. Assume that December begins with three massive blizzards, how might this impact the snowblower market?
Demand will shift to the right, causing a surplus, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity.
Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a lessor quantity.
Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity.
Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to decrease until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity.
Find the equilibrium price and quantity for a product that has the following supply and demand curves, where p is the price in 100's of dollars and q is quantities in 1,000's of units
demand: 1/3q + 1/3p - 4=0
Supply: q-p-2=0
If the product is currently priced at $400, what is the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded? Is there a surplus (More supplied than demanded) or a shortage (More demanded than supplied)
The rent for apartments in New York City has been rising sharply. Demand for apartments in New York City has been rising sharply as well. This is hard to explain because the law of demand says that higher prices should lead to lower demand. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer.

- The following diagram illustrates the impact of an increase in demand. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? a) R12 R11 R10 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 Q Before the increase in demand, the equilibrium price is R10 and the equilibrium quantity is 900. b) Owing to an increase in demand, the demand curve shifts from D to D1. At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, the quantity demanded is 1 200 and the quantity supplied is 1 100. c) At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, there is an excess demand. d) A new equilibrium position is formed after the increase in demand at an equilibrium price of R12 and an equilibrium quantity of 1 100.arrow_forwardThe law of demand states that quantity demanded is Inversivly related to the price.

Quantity is measured in tens of thousands of apartments. Price, the average monthly rent, is measured in hundreds of dollars. The aggregate supply is Q = 70 + 7P. a) What is an equilibrium price of rental apartment? b) Suppose the agency sets a maximum monthly rent to $ 300, are there excess demand or excess supply of apartments? If so, by what amount? Please show your work with an explanation. Suppose the agency bows to the wishes of the board and sets a rental of $900 per month on all apartments to allow landlords a "fair" rate of return.

- Refer to the above graph showing the market for a product. Which of the following would best explain why the shift in demand from D1 to D2 would cause price to rise from P1 to P2? Select one: A. Because after the shift in the demand, there would be a surplus at price P1 B. Because after the shift in the demand, there would be a shortage at price P2 C. Because after the shift in the demand, there would be a shortage at price P1 D. Because after the shift in the demand, there would be a surplus at price P2 (I thought it would be P2, a surplus, this is incorrect though, please help with explanation)arrow_forwardwhat is a scenario in which the consumer faces a shortage of a good due to high demand. Explain how this may have happened.arrow_forwardAssuming an increase in Demant and decrease in Supply, which of the following statements is TRUE? The price of the good will decrease. The quantity of the good will definitely decrease. The price of this good will definitely increase. There will be a permanent shortage of this good. The new equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease, or stay the same. A surplus of this good will result from these changes in Supply and Demand. What new equiLibrium quantity will result depends on the relative magnitude of the changes and the shapes of the Demand and Supply curves. We cannot determine what will happen to price.arrow_forward
