Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view? Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.

Florida, like several other states, has passed a law that prohibits “price gouging” immediately before, during, or after the declaration of a state of emergency. Price gouging is defined as “selling necessary commodities such as food, gas, ice, oil, and lumber at a price that grossly exceeds the average selling price for the 30 days prior to the emergency.” Many consumers attempt to stock up on emergency supplies, such as bottled water, immediately before and after a hurricane or other natural disaster hits an area. Also, many supply shipments to retailers are interrupted during a natural disaster. Assuming that the law is strictly enforced, what are the economic effects of the price gouging statute? Explain carefully.

Which of the following statements is correct? Multiple Choice If supply decreases and demand decreases, equilibrium price is indeterminate. If supply decreases and demand decreases, equilibrium price will rise. If supply decreases and demand decreases, equilibrium price will fall. If supply decreases and demand decreases, equilibrium quantity will rise.
The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?
Which of the following statements is (are) correct?(x) If the supply curve is upward sloping and a shortage exists in a market then the quantity sold will increase as the price moves to the equilibrium price.

Price Ceiling of Low-Cost Homes The Malaysian government has implemented a price ceiling on low-cost homes starting from the year 2010. The implementation of this price ceiling is aimed to ensure that people from the lower income group have one of the necessities, which is shelter. The government has set the price ceiling of low-income houses at RM42,000 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM50,400 in Sabah and Sarawak. Furthermore, in conjunction with the 10th Malaysia plan, the government has planned to develop more houses at an affordable price, involving private developers. The target is to have 161,000 affordable homes, of which private developers would build 83,000 units while the rest would be built by the government.Due to the implementation of this price ceiling, the legal maximum price of low-income houses set by the government is lower than the market equilibrium price. This is done in order to protect the interest of consumers by preventing the producers from charging prices that…
The demand for petroleum is given by QD=85 − 0.4P where Q D is the quantity demanded in thousands of barrels per day and P is the price per barrel in dollars. The supply of petroleum is given by QS=55+0.6P. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. 2. In the context of the problem in part (a), calculate the demand and supply for petroleum if the market price is $15 per barrel. What problem exists in the economy?
