Suppose that when the price of gold is $100 an ounce, gold producers find it unprofitable to sell gold. However, when the price is $200 an ounce, 5000 ounces of output (production) is profitable. At $300, a total of 10,000 ounces of output is profitable. Similarly, total production increases by 5000 ounces for each successive $100 increase in the price of gold. Describe the relevant relationship between the price of gold and the production of gold in words, in a table, and on a graph. Put the price of gold on the vertical axis and the output of gold on the horizontal axis. Comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the verbal, tabular, and graphical forms of description.
Now, we can plot the demand and supply curves on a graph, with P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Demand curve: P = 833 - Q To plot the demand curve, we can start with a point on the vertical axis where P = 833 when Q = 0. Then, we can plot additional points by subtracting values of Q from 100 and finding the corresponding values of P using the equation P = 833 - Q. This gives us the following demand curve: Supply curve: P = Q - 32 To plot the supply curve, we can start with a point on the vertical axis where P = -32 when Q = 0. Then, we can plot additional points by adding values of Q to 50 and finding the corresponding values of P using the equation P = Q - 32. This gives us the following supply curve:
Consider the economy of Russia, which produces oil and cars that are sold both domestically and internationally. Suppose an increase in foreign income causes an increase in the world demand for oil, whereas the supply does not change. The following graph shows the market for oil in Russia. Adjust the following graph to show the effect of a higher demand for oil on the economy of Russia. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
The following graph shows the market for hot dogs in New York City, where there are over 1,000 hot dog stands at any given moment. Suppose hot dog sellers expect that tomorrow the price of hot dog will be significantly higher than today's price. Show the effect of this change on the market for hot dogs by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant.
Given the two functions below in the picture answer the following; a. Using the same Microsoft Excel sheet or otherwise, draw or sketch the two functions for the interval -1<q<3 . b. From your diagram (part a) above), identify which of the two functions represents the demand curve and name the intercept(s) formed. c. From your diagram (part a) above), identify which of the two functions represents the supply curve and name the intercept(s) formed. d. Economically, it is said that equilibrium is established when the demand curve intercepts the supply curve. Hence or otherwise, determine the equilibrium price and quantity.
Supply and Demand Problem Set[1] Use the following graph to answer questions 1 through 3: Plot the following Price and Quantity combinations: (4, 8), (1, 2), (5, 10) Is your graph more likely to be a demand curve or a supply curve? Why? Using the equation of a line, and P for price and Q for quantity, what is the algebraic formula of this curve? Use the following graph to answer questions 4 and 5: Plot the following Price and Quantity combinations. Note that the points are given in the format (Quantity, Price).(0, 50), (2, 40), (4, 30), (6, 20), (8, 10) Using the equation of a line, what is the algebraic formula of this demand curve? Use the following information to answer questions 6 through 10: Suppose the equation of the line changes to . Compute the quantity demanded at each indicated price.

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.
The following graph shows the market for cereal in Philadelphia, where there are over 1,000 stores that sell cereal at any given moment. Suppose the price of breakfast bars decreases. (Assume that people regard cereal and breakfast bars as substitutes.) Show the effect of this change on the market for cereal by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Consider the market for pens. Suppose that new research has been published stating that the process of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves memorization, leading parents to avoid giving their children pens in favor of pencils. Further, the price of plastic, a major input in the pen production process, has dropped sharply. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. image 1 image 2 Compare both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs. Notice that after completing both graphs, you can now see a difference between them that wasn't apparent before the shifts because each graph indicates different magnitudes for the supply and demand shifts in the market for pens.
