8. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand Suppose that the tuna industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per can of tuna and a quantity of 200 million cans per year. Suppose the Surgeon General issues a report saying that eating tuna is bad for your health. The Surgeon General’s report will cause consumers to demand ______ tuna at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by ____. Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the Surgeon General’s report.
1. If we assume that Coke and Pepsi are substitute products, what would happen to the supply and demand for Pepsi if Pepsi raised their price? What would happen to the supply and demand for Coke if Pepsi raised their price? (Be sure to think about what consumers would do and what effect their behavior has on demand. Then think about in the long run what the companies would do to adjust to any changes in demand) 2. In the United States, oranges are grown primarily in Florida and California.

1. The market for manicures and other nail treatments is very competitive. How would the following developments affect the number of nail treatments that a typical nail salon wants to supply in the short run? a. Heightened concern about their appearance causes people to want more manicures at a given price. b. The government requires all nail salons to pay a new yearly licensing fee to operate. c. Worse job prospects elsewhere in the economy cause more people to want to become manicurists, causing the wages of manicurists to fall.
4. Use the graph to answer the question that follows. What is the price elasticity of demand going from 24 units to 30 units of Product Z? 0.1 0.5 2 3 5 3-If marginal product increased from 50 to 60 when the quantity of labor increased from 200 to 205, then what must be true of costs over this range of output? Marginal costs are decreasing. Marginal costs are increasing. Average total costs are increasing. Average fixed costs are increasing. Average variable costs are decreasing.
1 Hypothetical Case 1 The following equations describe the long-run situation for prices and costs, where the numbers indicate the amounts of labor and capital needed to produce a unit of wheat and cloth. W is the wage rate/hour and R is the rental rate/hour. Price of wheat = 1 W + 2 R Price of cloth = 2 W + 1 R In autarky, the price of wheat is 5 and the price of cloth is 4. As trade opens up wheat price rises from 5 to 6. Cloth price remains at 4. Consider Hypothetical Case 1 above. After trade opens up, how many units of wheat can a worker buy with one hour of labor?

part 3 4 A) Consider the bicycle market- determine whether the events listed below cause a movement along or a shift in the demand or supply in the short-run. If the event causes a shift, draw and describe whether demand or supply shifts and which direction the curve shifts in (left/right). Outline what happens to equilibrium price and quantity, if applicable (i) An increase in the number of bicycle users due to the environmental pollution caused by motorcycles/cars. (ii) A decrease in the price for iron and steel (iii) The prices of petroleum rise (iv) The prices of motorcycle increase
1. Using the concepts of demand and supply, explain why cannabis prices declined sharply by 70% in Colorado between 2014 and 2018. Use a diagram of the cannabis market to illustrate your point. (180 words) Hints: Was the market of cannabis perfectly competitive before legalization? Who were mainly involved in the business of cannabis at that time? (Some Hollywood movies may help you find the answers.) Was the business of cannabis profitable at that time? Why? How did legalization affect the number of cannabis sellers and buyers in Colorado in 2014 and in 2018, respectively? [In the United States, the recreational use of cannabis was legalized only in 4 states in 2014, while it was legalized by 15 states and Washington D.C. in 2018. Please notice that people from elsewhere may travel to Colorado or other states where the recreational use of cannabis was legal for consuming cannabis.] How would cannabis legalization in other states affect the market demand and supply in Colorado?
