Assignment Overview In this assignment, you will examine the effects of changes in demand and supply on the equilibrium price and quantity of a market. Step 1 Analyze the effect of each scenario on the price of khaki pants. Consider the following scenarios. Think about how each scenario would affect the price of khaki pants. A new technology reduces the time it takes to make a pair of khaki pants. The price of the cloth used to make khaki pants falls. The wage rate paid to garment workers increases. The price of jeans increases. People's incomes increase. Step 2 Draw a demand-supply graph and label the axes with the price and quantity of khaki pants. Create one graph that shows each of the demand-supply curves for the five scenarios listed in Step 1. Use (free) online graphing software such as "Padowan" to create your graph. Follow the instructions on the website to learn how to create and manipulate the graph. Use five different colors to represent each of the five scenarios.…
Problem The following four graphs represent market scenarios, each of which would cause either in movement along the supply curve of Pepsi or a shift of the supply curve. Match each scenario with the appropriate graph. a) Decrease in the supply of Cokeb) Drop in the average household income c) Improvement in soft drink bottling technology d) Increase of prices of sugar and syrup used in soft drink production
As a result of increased tensions in the Middle East, oil production is down by 1.21 million barrels per day – a 5 percent reduction in the world's supply of crude oil. Explain the likely impact of this event on the market for gasoline and the market for small cars.The gasoline market will have: higher equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity. higher equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantity. lower equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantity. lower equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity. The small car market will have: higher equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity. higher equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantity. lower equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity. lower equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantity.
Part 1: What do you think should be done in a situation when the price for an essential product (name the product and explain why you believe to be "essential" in your post!!) is rising rapidly? Put the name of the essential product in your subject line. Do not choose gasoline! Part 2: Now answer each of the following questions either "Yes" or "No," giving reasons in each case! 1. Is it right for businesses to earn fat profits on goods that people rely on? (Yes/No) Why? 2. Is it right for the government to intervene in such circumstances? (Yes/No) Why? 3. Should the government always intervene? Never ever intervene? (Yes/No) Why do you think so?
Question 10 A supply curve slopes upward because Group of answer choices an increase in input prices increases supply the quantity supplied of most goods and services increases over time. as more is produced, total cost of production falls. an increase in price gives producers an incentive to supply a larger quantity.
Multiple choice - microeconomics 43) What will entry into a market by new firms do? A. It will increase the price of the good B. It will increase profits of existing firms C. It will increase the costs of existing firms D. It will increase the supply of the good. 42) What is one consideration that applies to the analysis of a market over the long run but not to the analysis over the short run? A. changes in firms’ cost structures B. changes in the numbers of firms in the market C. changes in the price of the product D. changes in firms’ profits
Part 1: There is much discussion in the press about several states moving to legalizing marijuana, either for only medical purposes, or more extremely, for recreational purposes. Looking only at the economic impact (not moral implications) of such changes in the laws, discuss how the existing system of supply and demand for illegal marijuana will be changed with the new legalization. What will happen to existing supply avenues? Will legalization significantly change demand? How? Would one expect prices to change significantly? How? Part 2: What do you think most firms prefer, to have an elastic or inelastic demand for their products? Why would it be better to have an elastic/inelastic demand?
Based on new scientific evidence, it was determined that consuming red wine will extend your life, on average, by 5 years. What will happen in the market for red wine in the short run? Answer questions C and D based on the situation: _____ C) Which of the following changes will occur: a) Demand will increase b) Demand will decrease c) Supply will increase d) Supply will decrease _____ D) Which of the following changes will occur: a) Equilibrium price will increase and the equilibrium quantity will increase b) Equilibrium price will decrease and the equilibrium quantity will decrease c) Equilibrium price will decrease and the equilibrium quantity will increase d) Equilibrium price will increase and the equilibrium quantity will decrease
Problem Following are four graphs and four market scenarios, each of which would cause a shift in either the demand or the supply curve of plastic bottled water. For each scenario, do the necessary changes on the graphs below by showing the new market equilibrium reached. You are also expected to mention the changing factor. An improvement of the water bottling industry occurred lately. The price of glass bottled water increased and this is a substitute in production for the firm. The price of plastic has increased. Assume that plastic bottled water is an inferior good, and that the Kuwaiti economy witnessed an increase in the average household income from 20,000KD to 25,000 KD. Kindly explain in detail
microeconomics class The price elasticity of supply measures how much Question 1 options: the quantity supplied responds to changes in the price of the good. the supply curve responds to changes in input prices. the price of the good responds to changes in demand. sellers respond to changes in the cost of production. Question 2 (4 points) If a particular good is perfectly inelastic: Question 2 options: none of the answers are correct. the price elasticity of demand would show this to be a normal good. the demand curve would be a horizontal line at a particular price. the demand curve would be more vertical, but not perfectly vertical at a specific quantity. Question 3 (4 points) If the price of a particular good decreases and as a result total…

Group of answer choices steep; increase flat; decrease steep; decrease flat; increase flat; decrease steep; decrease
homework Question 1: During the pandemic, many workers started to work from home using digital technologies. Children also started homeschooling using digital technologies. At the same time, technological progress has accelerated in the IT industry. Assume that the market for computer is in perfect competition and that the initial price of a computer is 1000 dollars. Given this context, explain the impact of the pandemic on: The supply curve of computers (answer in 70-130 words) The demand curve of computer (answer in 70-130 words) The equilibrium in the market for computers (answer in 70-130 words).
