a. Use the figure to fill in the quantity supplied given supply curve S, for each price in the following table (second column, gray-shaded cells). Instructions: If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. S1 Quantity Supplied S2 Quantity Supplied |Change in Quantity Supplied Price 3 4 2 b. If production costs were to increase, the quantities supplied at each price would be as shown by the third column of the table ("S, Quantity Supplied"). Use those data to draw supply curve S, using the graph below. Instructions: On the graph below, use your mouse to click and drag supply curve S, as necessary, or you may move the individual points. 5 4 s, 2 1 10 15 20 Quantity supplied c. In the fourth column (gray-shaded cells) of the table in part a, enter the amount by which the quantity supplied at each price changes due to the increase in product costs. (Use positive numbers for increases and negative numbers for decreases.) d. Did the increase in production costs cause a "decrease in supply" or a "decrease in quantity supplied"?

Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.
What is the difference between the supply and the quantity supplied of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with the supply curve for milk.
The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.
In an analysis of the market for paint, an economist discovers the facts listed below. State whether each of these changes will affect supply or demand, and in what direction. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint. Paint is lasting longer so that property owners need not repaint as often. Because of severe hailstorms, many people need to repaint now. The hailstorms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months.
Name some farm that can cause a shift in the supply curve in markets for goods and services.
We know that a change in the price of a product causes a movement along the demand curve. Suppose consumers believe that prices will be rising in the future. How will that affect demand for the product in the present? Can you show this graphically?
Explain why the following statement is false: In the goods market, no buyer would be willing to pay more than me equilibrium price.
Use the four-step process to analyze the impact of the advent of the iPod (or other portable digital music players) on the equilibrium price and quantity of the Sony Wellman (or other portable audio cassette player).
Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.
The computer market in recent years has seen many more computing sell at much lower prices. What shift in demand or supply is most likely to explain this outcome? Sketch a demand and supply diagram and explain your reasoning for each. A rise in demand A fall in demand A rise in supply A fall in supply
Table 3.8 shows information on the demand and supply for bicycles, where the quantities of bicycles are measured in thousands. What is the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at a price of 210? At what price is the quantity supplied equal to 48,000? Graph the demand and supply curve for bicycles. How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from the graph? How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from line table? What HIE die equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? If the price was 120, what would the quantities demanded and supplied he? Would a shortage or surplus exist? If so, how large would the shortage or surplus he?
