Recently, the price of fuel has increased in Bangladesh. At the same time the Government of Bangladesh has been allowing several producers to start car production in Bangladesh. Assume, the effect of fuel price increase is lower that that from increased number of car producers.
(a) Discuss the possible effects on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the car market.
(b) Graphically explain if the quantity is not reached at the equilibrium, total surplus will not be
maximum.
Q4

Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players.
