Over the past few year's consumer tastes and
the number of buyers in the market for a
game called 'pickle ball' have increased
dramatically. 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.
D) All of the above.
E) B and D only

For each of the following changes, select how the change will impact the supply and/or demand for almond milk. In addition, select how the change will impact the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of almond milk sold. A) Suppose a change in harvesting technology has increased the efficiency in which almond milk can be produced. Due to the technological innovation, the almond milk market will experience a(n) decrease in the demand for almond milk. As a result, we would expect to see a(n) increase in the equilibrium price of almond milk and a(n) increase almond milk sold. in the equilibrium quantity of 27arrow_forwardSolve a Consumers' or Producers' Surplus Problem. A sports watch has a price-demand equation given by p= D(z) = 40-2-0174176a dollars, which gives the price per watch when a watches are demanded. The price-supply equation for the watch is given by p= S(x) = 0.6z+4 dollars, which gives the price per watch when z watches are supplied. If the equilibrium quantity is 11, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus. The consumers' surplus is. (Your answer must begin with S.) The producers' surplus is Your answer must begin with $.)arrow_forward

The flashlight manufacturers will produce no flashlights if the price is $79 or less, and they will market 5,500 flashlights when the price is $101 per flashlight.

- Consider a market where the equilibrium price for a good is $17 and the equilibrium quantity is 350 units. Assume that the quantity supplied at an above - equilibrium price is 5 times the equilibrium quantity, and the quantity demanded at the above - equilibrium price is 1/3 the equilibrium quantity. Calculate the surplus in the market at the above - equilibrium price. If necessary, round any intermediate calculations to one decimal place and your final answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardWhy would a shift in supply or demand happen as a result in a market equilibrium with higher prices but lower sales volume?arrow_forwardSuppose that when price is 10, quantity supplied is 20 units, and when the price is 6, the quantity supplied is 12 units.
