The task I am struggling with:
Determine the supply and demand function and the equilibrium point.Graph the results.Demand. If a given product is priced at $7 per unit, there is a demand for 4 units;if a given product is priced at $6 per unit, there is a demand for 8 units.Supply. If a given product is priced at $9 per unit, suppliers are willing to produce4 units; if a given product is priced at $23 per unit, suppliers are willing toproduce 12 units.
Thank you very much.
What might a producer do if consumers stopped purchasing their goods? Provide an example of this occurrence
On the market for cherries, supply is inelastic, while demand is elastic. You know that suppliers are not ready to supply any cherries when the price is below $1.5 per pound.
a) On a graph, show the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Make sure you label the axes and the curves. Then, show the consumer surplus and the producer surplus.
b) Strawberries and cherries are substitutes. The price of strawberries increased. On a graph,show what will happen on the market for cherries. Show the change in the consumer surplus. Show the change in the producer surplus.
c) Forget about part (b). There are issues with the supply chain: transportation companies raise the fees they charge to deliver cherries from the farms to the supermarkets. On a graph, show what will happen on the market for cherries. Show the change in the consumer surplus. Show the change in the producer surplus

- You will analyze the Market for Gasoline Step 1: Draw a supply-and-demand diagram. Price is on the vertical axis, quantity is on the horizontal axis, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward- sloping, and be sure to label equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 2. Change colors! If you have a highlighter or colored pencil (crayon, sharpie, whatever). Step 3. Show the change in demand or supply (only one curve will shift in each scenario). State if the curve decreases or increases. Step 4: Show the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 5: Repeat Steps 1-4 for each scenario. You will have a total of 4 graphs. Scenario A: A hurricane destroys refineries that produce gasoline. Scenario B: Consumers purchase electric vehicles that do not need gasoline. • Scenario C: Technological innovation occurs that reduces the cost of producing gasoline. Scenario D: Road trips become the one and only vacation option and many families opt for long-distance road trips. ● .arrow_forwardIdentify equilibrium on the graph.

- Why does the demand curve slope downward? Why does the supply curve slope upward? Given the demand and supply schedules below: Price (dollars per CD) Quantity Demanded (per day) Quantity Supplied (per day) 5.00 300 100 6.00 250 150 7.00 200 200 8.00 150 250 9.00 100 300 What is the market equilibrium?

- Assume that we are looking at the market for California wine. Assume that the initial equilibrium price is $20 and quantities are 1,000. What would be the impact on this market of a severe drought that destroys 50% of the grapes that are used to make this wine? Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would decrease resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a surplus would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and higher quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine.arrow_forwardHELP!
