a) Suppose that the market for the return of ready meals from restaurants in a city serves as a free competition market.As a result of many people choosing to move out of the city, demand for this type of services has fallen.At the same time, several new players have established themselves as providers of the service.Discuss the impact on the market equilibrium of these changes in demand and supply, and use a chart to illustrate the reasoning.

Identify the demand or supply determinant(s) that changes and explain how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a purely competitive market will change in each of the following situations. Draw the appropriate demand and supply curves showing the change. (Each graph should have an equilibrium point before the change as well as after; be sure to label all parts of the graphs). a. Product: New homes -wages increases so consumer incomes increase and supply does not change b. Product: French cheese- A tariff is removed from the importation of French cheese while demand remains the same. C. Product: eat-at-home pizza- consumers desire for eating at home increases and the cost of flour (used to make pizza) decreases

The data in the table above represent the market demand and supply for strawberries over a range of prices. Price(Cents) Quantity Demand(Million tin/ year) Quantity supplied(Million tins/year) 10 90 30 20 80 50 30 70 70 40 60 90 50 50 110 1.Plot on a single diagram the demand and supply curve. 2.What would be the excess demand or supply if price were set at 10 cent? 3.What would be the excess demand or supply if price were set at 40 cent? 4.Define the equilibrium of a market. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. 5.Suppose that an increase in consumers’ income results in an increase of strawberries’ demand.The demand of strawberries rises by 30 million tins/year at each price level. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity.
Consider a competitive market in which we can analyze the market using our standard demand and supply framework (i.e., downward sloping demand, upward sloping supply, and the market price adjusts to keep the market in equilibrium). If the producers in this market all got an improvement in technology that lowered their marginal cost of producing any given level of output, then we would expect to see Group of answer choices a) an increase in supply (rightward shift). b) a decrease in demand (leftward shift). c) a decrease in supply (leftward shift). d) an increase in demand (rightward shift). e) no shift in either the supply curve or the demand curve.
Plot the following hypothetical market demand and supply schedules for commodity Y and explain the graph.
Draw supply and demand curves. Now suppose both curves shifted. Illustrate a case for which market equilibrium price is higher and quantity is lower after the shifts of the curves.

1. Caribbean economies tend to rely heavily on the Tourism sector, offering Sun, Sea andSand as the “tourism product” for which tourists purchase hotel accommodationsto enjoy. Hoteliers offer these services and are therefore major “suppliers” in thismarket.In 2017 however, several natural disasters affected the Caribbean, resulting ineconomic, environmental and human losses. In order to analyze the impact ofthese Natural Disasters on the hotel industry, answer the following questions. a. With the use of an appropriate demand and supply diagram for hotel rooms(accommodation), illustrate and explain how the news of an impending Tropical Stormto the Caribbean region would affect the market price (hotel rates) and quantity tradedof hotel rooms.b. Following the destruction of hotel infrastructure from the passage of the Hurricanes, usean appropriate demand and supply diagram for hotel rooms (accommodations) toillustrate and explain the impact of the Hurricanes on the market price and…

In the market for airline tickets, airline carriers have drastically cut fares for international air trave resulting in 3% increase in ticket sales. meanwhile, recent health considerations due to COVID-19 have caused an 11% reduction in the demand for international travel Impact on supply impact on price impact on quantity impact on demand
Assignment 1 Draw a demand curve for economics classes at HCCC, showing the trade-off between price and quantity. Now draw another demand curve to the right of the original (i.e. showing an increase in demand). Give three reasons that demand for economics classes might shift to the right like this. The following table contains information about the wheat market: Price per Bushel (dollars) Quantity Demanded (bushels) Quantity Supplied (bushels) $2 40,000 0 4 34,000 4,000 6 28,000 8,000 8 24,000 16,000 10 20,000 20,000 12 18,000 28,000 14 12,000 36,000 16 6,000 40,000
Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Assume gadgets are sold in a competitive market, the equilibrium price is $6, and the equilibrium quantity is 500 units. (a) Using the numerical values above, draw a correctly labeled graph of the market for gadgets and show each of the following. (i) The equilibrium price (ii) The equilibrium quantity (b) At a price of $8 per unit, will there be a surplus or a shortage in the market? Explain. (c) Assume gadgets now become more popular. On your graph in part (a), show the effect of the increase in gadgets' popularity on the equilibrium price and quantity of gadgets. (d) Assume instead there is an increase in the price of tin, a major input in producing gadgets. What will be the effect of an…
