Consider the market for rubber. suppose a massive forest fire causes 50% of the world’s supply of rubber to be destroyed. First, depict what happens in the market for rubber. Then, depict what happens in the market for tires (where rubber is an input). Last, depict what happens in the market for cars, where tires are an input. What happened to the price of cars? Now, suppose that in order combat this event, the government announces that starting in three months (i.e. in the future), the government will give a $1000 rebate on purchases of new cars (i.e. the price of cars will decrease in the future). What happens in the market for new cars today? What happens in the market for used cars today? Finally, what is the net effect of everything that occurred on new/used cars equilibrium price and quantity (Hint: for one of these market’s variables, the net effect will be ambiguous)?

In your own words, explain the function(s) of prices in market economies. If a society did not have prices, what challenges would they face?
Assume that each of the markets below is initially in equilibrium. Then for each market below, suppose that the indicated scenario occurs. Illustrate the effect of each event in a diagram and indicate the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity. d. Market: Caffeinated beverages. Scenario: Starbucks opens a franchise in St. Lucia. e. Market: Cigars Scenario: The government places a tax on cigar producers to discourage smoking coupled with the private sector running ad campaigns on the detrimental effects of smoking f. Market: Ketchup. Scenario: Insects kill half the nation’s tomato crop
Consider each scenario independently. In each of the following cases tell me, using verbal and graphical analysis (d) What will happen in the market for tomatoes if a new study is released that shows tomatoes contain antioxidants (may help prevent cancer)? (e) What will happen in the market for corn if a new crop rotation technique is discovered that allows the corn to be grown more easily and the price of green beans, a substitute, decreases? (f) What will happen in the market for gasoline if the price of oil increases and there is a vast increase in the population (e.g., another baby boomer generation)? (g) A tax on gun buyers. (h) A binding price floor on guns.
A newspaper article mentions that two of South Korea’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, - Samsung Electronics Company and Hynix Semiconductor - would suspend all their memory chip production for some time. The article goes on to say that another large semiconductor manufacturer was likely to follow suit. Collectively, these chip manufacturers produce about 30 percent of the world’s basic semiconductor chips. Based on this information, how is the market for computers altered? This answer involves no numerical computation. However, graphs/plots should be used to elaborate your answer. Explain plus make graphs for this answer.
What is Microeconomics? What is the price elasticity of demand? What are the various methods of computing elasticity of supply? Explain the concept of positive and normative economics? Enumerate the 3 Steps in formulating policy?
A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyze specific markets. With this assignment, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to apply what you have learned to the coffee market. Be sure to answer all parts of each of the scenarios below. Students may utilize Paint, Word (the shapes tool), or hand draw the graphs. Scenario 2: Suppose the National Institute of Health publishes a study finding that coffee drinking reduces the probability of getting colon cancer. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before and after curves on the same axes. How will this change affect the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning.
Graphically demonstrate how the following economic events influence (ceteris paribus) the relevantsupplyfunction. Label your axes, and specify the market you are discussing. (a) Strong profits in the market for cyber security attract new firms. (b) Low-cost energy reduces the expense of producing and storing ice cream
Graphically show how each of the following shifts the supply curve. Also identify which factor of supply is being affected in each case. a) You are an Oil seller. You hear that after 2 months, the price of Oil will go down. How will it affect your current supply of Oil? b) Beef and Leather are complements in production. If the price of Beef increases, how will it affect the supply of Leather? c) If the price of Potatoes increases, how does it affect the supply of French Fries?
