1. Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption.
a. Discuss the impact of the good harvest on each of the three markets.
b. Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers.
c. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?
5. The demand and supply functions of a computer accessory are D(x) = 4.5 - 2.5x and S(x)
0.0375 +0.125x, respectively. What is the market equilibrium quantity and price?

- 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.arrow_forward2arrow_forwardA2)arrow_forward
- Q: How does the equilibrium price of a product vary if the demand for this product does not change and at the same time the production costs increase?arrow_forwardIn which statement(s) is "demand" used correctly? (I) "An increase in the price of hot dogs will reduce the demand for hot dogs." (II) "An increase in the price of hot dogs will reduce the demand for hot dog buns (a complement good)." in both statements I and II in statement I only in statement II only O in neither statements I nor IIarrow_forwardWhat is a relevant example of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Talk about the article and its findings, then include the URL.arrow_forward
- Please no written by hand solutions 1. Suppose the current price of a good in a market is $10/unit. At this price, the quantity demanded is 20 units while the quantity supplied is 26 units. (i) Show the above numbers in a well-labeled demand and supply diagram. (ii) Is the market in equilibrium currently? If not, what happens to bring it to an equilibrium? 2. Roughly three years ago around this time, the coronavirus pandemic was declared. During this time, the price of typical masks increased sharply in markets around the world. With the help of a well-labelled market (or demand and supply) diagram, explain briefly why this happened.arrow_forward3)What is the relationship between a demand schedule and a demand curve? * a)A demand schedule shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand curve shows the various prices. b)A demand schedule is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand curve is a graphical representation of the law of demand. c)A demand curve shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand schedule shows the various prices. d)A demand curve is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand schedule is a graphical representation of the law of demand.arrow_forwardYou own Naughty Pine lumber and sell fence panels in a competitive market. Right now, your selling price is $130 for a fence panel, and you sell 8 panels a day. You are considering changing your price. You estimate that if you raise your price to $152 a panel, you would sell 7 panels a day. On the other hand, if you lower your price to $108 a panel, you would sell 12 panels a day. (a) Draw a graph of the above information. Label your axes, and the curve. Be sure your work is clear. (b) Use the MIDPOINT FORMULA to calculate Ed over the ranges below. Use TWO decimals in your answers. (i)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $152 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $152 a panel (ii)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $108 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $108 a panel Should you keep your current price, or raise the price, or lower the price?arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is incorrect?A. Market demand consists of the combined demand of all the participants in the market.B. The quantity demanded of a good, say a loaf of bread, depends heavily on the availability of the good.C. The quantity demanded of a good depends on the income of consumers.D. The quantity demanded of a good also depends on the prices of related goods (complements and substitutes).E. Demand decisions have to be analysed independently of the supply situation.arrow_forwardThe diagram to the right illustrates a hypothetical demand curve representing the relationship between price (in dollars per unit) and quantity (in 1,000s of units per unit of time).
