Levels of scrapping were not enough to bridge the gap between demand and supply and bring the sector back to balance. As a result, a large number of vessels are idle and where employment occurs, it is a limited capacity.
Need help with Evaluation Evolution Question 3 asks how easily the quantity supplied of salmon can be changed in response to changes in its price. In your answer, write about the short term - if the price of salmon doubled today, for example, could the quantity supplied of salmon double in the next year? What are the constroints on increasing supply? Then consider the long term. What are the constraints on increasing supply and how important are they? Come to an overall condusion about the short term and long term.
Scenario Milk is flowing like never before in the U.S., where dairies have expanded output enough to send wholesale prices plunging from an all-time high in September. Production in the 12 months through October reached 17.08 billion pounds a month on average, up 1.8 percent from the same period a year earlier, as farmers took advantage of high milk prices and low livestock-feed costs, government data show. Two years of record corn harvests in the U.S. sent grain prices to a five-year low. Grains are mainly used as feed for cow farmers. Imports of milk to the US has also increased during the period as countries such as New Zealand are also benefiting from good market conditions During this time however, demand for the good has not been able to keep up with the supply. Notably, the current market conditions are not expected to last with impending drought conditions that would impact the harvest of corn and result in an increase in its price. With higher prices for grains some farmers…
The 2019/20 Australia Bushfires affected food production nearly in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria that are regarded as the food basket for Australia. Assume that before, the bushfire, in 2017/18 Australia produced 80,000 metric tons. Also, assuime that after the bushfire devastation in 2019/20 Australia produced 50,000 metric tons of rice. Finally, assume that during the same period 2017/18 and 2019/20 the price rice in Australia rose from AUD 1.75 per kg to AUD 3.00 per kg respectively. Use the Demand and Supply Model below to answer the questions that follow. Q. Use the mid-point approach to calculate the price elasticity of demand for rice in Australia.

The Government of Canada recently signed new preferential trade agreement, and has agreed to paysubsidies to turkey farmers to compensate for increased competition they may face from imports. Youare employed as an analyst by AAFC. In order to determine the dollar value of compensation, AAFCrequires an estimate of how the Canadian price of turkeys and the quantity of imported turkeys willchange as a result of the new trade agreement. You are provided with the following information about the Canadian turkey market:1. The world price of turkey is $5.2. The Canadian turkey market is currently (before the new trade agreement) protected by a tariffrate quota (TRQ) of the following format:a) the in-quota tariff is $1 per unitb) the import quota volume is 100 unitsc) the over-quota tariff is $10 per unit.3. An excess demand (ED) (for imports) function for turkey has been estimated as? = 28 − 0.14?. a) Draw the diagram for imports in this market, and solve for the Canadian turkey price and the…
