The demand for hamburgers is given by Qd = 8,000 – 7,000P, where Qd is the quantity demanded and P is the price. The supply for hamburgers is given by Qs = 4,000 + 1,000P, where Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the price.
If the price is €1.0, will there be a surplus or a shortage of hamburgers? Determine the amount of a shortage (surplus).
Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view?
Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level.
Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded.
Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged.
Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.
Suppose the market demand for Omani Halwa is given by
Qd = 400 – 20 P and the market supply for Omani Halwa is given by
Qs = 20 P – 200, where P = price (per Omani Halwa).
Graph the supply and demand schedules for Omani Halwa using $10 through $20 as the value of P.
In equilibrium, how many Omani Halwas would be sold and at what price?
What would happen if suppliers set the price of Omani Halwa at $20? Explain the market adjustment process.
“A household’s decision about what quantity of a particular output, or product to demand depends on a number of factors.” Discuss the major factors affecting the demand.

- Consider how health insurance affects the quantity of healthcare services performed. Suppose that the typical medical procedure has a cost of $100, yet a person with health insurance pays only $20 out of pocket. Her insurance company pays the remaining $80. (The insurance company recoups the $80 through premiums, but the premium a person pays does not depend on how many procedures that person chooses to undertake.) Draw the demand curve in the market for medical care. (Include the horizontal axis should represent the number of medical procedures.) Show the quantity of procedures demanded if each procedure has a price of $100. On your diagram, show the quantity of procedures demanded if consumers pay only $20 per procedure. If the cost of each procedure to society is truly $100, and if individuals have health insurance as described above, will the number of procedures performed maximize total surplus? Explain. Economists often blame the health insurance system for excessive use of…arrow_forwardHurricane Sandy to Raise Prices on Used Cars The immediate impact of Hurricane Sandy was devastating, and the storm's ripple effects will continue to be felt in the weeks and months ahead as communities work to recover. One side effect becoming apparent is Sandy's influence on the used car market. According to the Detroit Free Press, the destruction of some 250,000 vehicles has led to a shortage that could affect late-model used vehicle prices nationwide. The National Auto Dealers Association estimates that prices could increase 0.5% to 1.5%. That may not seem like much (550-S175 per vehicle), but Edmunds.com suggests that in the short term, prices could jump $700 to $1.000.

- Gasoline "prices at the pump" go up and down, and Oil "costs per barrel" go up or down, but they do so at different rates and even in opposite directions sometimes.
