Consider each of the scenarios before, and explain what the effect of the given changes would be on the market for the good in bold that was originally in equilibrium. State which curve(s) shift (supply, demand, both, neither), and whether price and quantity are higher or lower after the change, or if this is not possible to determine. (a) An increase in the cost of dorm rooms on the market for apartments in the U-district? (b) The government increases the consumption tax rate for consumersp by 5% on the market for Rolex watches? (c) The increase in price of milk on cakes? Note: The solution should not be hand written.

Suppose the current price of a good is $125. At this price, the quantity supplied is 150 units, and the quantity demanded is 110 units. For every $1 decrease in price, the quantity supplied decreases by 5 units and the quantity demanded increases by 3 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded isless than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing a . In order to adjust, the market price will until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of and an equilibrium price of .
a)Draw the supply curve with the slopey our choice (individual or market demand). Choose a price level (say,P1) and find the quantity supplied (Q1) for that price, using the supply curve drawn. Now, assume that price decreases to P2. What happens to the quantity supplied? How about if we have a decrease in the input prices for that product? Show what happens and explain. b)Draw the supply and demand curves together. Show the equilibrium point. Present graphically the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
Q.3 a) A change in consumer’s expectations causes a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain. A change in price of the goods results in a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain b) A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows: Price Quantity demanded Rs.230 70 210 90 190 110 170 130 i) Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not. ii) Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good?
True or False *if the answer is false, expalain it 1. In the market for gasoline, the reason that the equilibrium quantity increased was that the increase in demand was less than the decrease in supply. 2. A fall in the price of iPads would shift the demand curve for iPads to the right. 3. Percentage an increase in the price of good Y is 40% causes a decrease in the quantity demanded of the X by 20%, then good X and good Y are complements. 4. Increasing in the apple price by 40% led to an decrease in the quantity of apple demanded by 60%, then the elasticity of demand is an inelastic type. 5. A price floor set by government will increase the equilibrium price and quantity in a Market
