A number of the growers are concerned about the price decrease initiated by the stretch of favorable weather conditions, as they believe it will lead to decreased revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or fall in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for pistachios between the price levels of $15 and $9 per ton is, between these two points, demand is Thus, you can conclude that the grower's claim is due to the favorable weather conditions. ,meaning that because total revenue will Confirm your previous conclusion by calculating total revenue in the pistachio market before and after the favorable weather conditions. Enter these values in the following table. Total Revenue (Thousands of Dollars) Before Favorable Weather Conditions After Favorable Weather Conditions

Question 2 For each of the following scenarios, use a supply and demand diagram to illustrate and explain the effect of the given shock on the equilibrium price and quantity in the specified competitive market. Consider the market is initially in equilibrium. q: Due to the high costs of labour, several companies in Europe have started to outsource face masks from various South Asian countries. ALDI is one such company that has decided to outsource their production of face masks from Bangladesh. Show the effect of this on the market for face masks in the UK.
Suppose the economy of the hypothetical country “X” is currently in equilibrium at point A on thegraph. There were two major shocks to the economy in 2020.First shock was related to oil prices; the other was related to consumer confidence about futurebusiness conditions. Oil Shock: The economy X faced a rise in the average price of oil along with the rise of world price ofoil.E) Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram toillustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. What happens to theAggregate output and price level after the shock? (3)F) If policymakers wish to prevent the equilibrium output from changing in response to the oilprice increase, should they use contractionary or expansionary fiscal policy? (Redraw the graphfrom part E and show the change) (4)G) Even if the economy moves back to original Aggregate output, will there be any drawback?

Explain the dynamic effect by taking "Oil Prices and Inflation" as an example?
A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyse specific markets. In this assignment, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to analyse the effects of several “shocks” to the market for coffee. Answer all parts of each of the scenarios below. Suppose the National Institutes of Health publishes a study finding that coffee drinking increases the probability of getting colon cancer. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before- and after-curves on the same axes. How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning
Suppose this economy is producing at point W. Which of the following statements would best explain this situation?
In the short run, the quantity of output supplied by firms can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level deviates from the expected price level in the economy. A number of theories explain reasons why this might happen. For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will (decrease/not change/increase) , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by (raising/lowering) the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to (fall short of/exceed) the…
Imagine you are the owner of a natural gas company. You can either extract as much of the resource as fast as possible or delay extraction until a future time. Projections indicate that the price of natural gas is expected to fall in the future. What would you do in the present? a. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a rightward shift of the current supply curve in the future. B. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement down the current supply curve.C. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement up the current supply curve.D. Sell as little natural gas as possible in the present and delay extraction until the future—reflected by a leftward shift of the current supply curve in the future.

Let us define "peak oil" as a point in time where the quantity of oil extracted and consumed (let's just assume these are the same) reaches a maximum and then starts to decline. Based on economic theory, (in other words, I'm not asking you to predict anything specific about the oil market in the real world, just a general theory question) should we expect this period of declining production to be accompanied by high and rising prices or by low/falling prices? Give a brief explanation using graphs where appropriate.

what are the underlying possible reasons for a J curve
Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the average price level for consumers rose 5.4% over the past year. While some are expressing concern over rising inflation leading the economy to “overheat,” there is some evidence indicating that this is due to the reopening of the economy as producers adjust to rising demand for goods and services. Many of the goods with the largest price increases, like bacon or cars and trucks, cannot have their production ramped up as quickly as demand is increasing. Other industries are facing supply chain challenges, like shortages of truck drivers. These problems are most likely to be short term, so, as supply catches up with demand, we can expect to see prices return to normal. As evidence, after spiking to record highs in early summer, lumber prices have now fallen below their price at the start of the year. The reason for the dramatic price increase earlier in the year was a combination of reduced supply in 2019 and a surge in demand…
