Homework (Ch 09) 1. The supply curve in the very short run The following graph shows the annual demand for tortilla chip consumption, which is initially in long-run equilibrium at point D. Suppose that tortilla chips are sold in a perfectly competitive market, and tastes shift away from tortilla chips so that demand shifts leftward from D₁ to D₂. Use the purple line (diamond symbol) to illustrate the supply curve in the very short run. Make sure the line passes through two of the starred points on the graph.

QUESTION 9 9. Imagine a small bakery that produces two types of bread: Whole Wheat Bread (Good A) and White Bread (Good B). Both of these bread types require similar production processes and are considered substitutes in production. The bakery has been operating in a stable market until recently.

TIMBER CRUNCH The demand and the supply of timber for construction in Australia are given by QD =120 - 20P QS = 40P We assume the market is perfectly competitive. 1) Calculate the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply at the equilibrium price and quantity. 2) Due to Covid lockdowns, interstate transportation becomes difficult. Meanwhile, construction work is viewed as essential and therefore not affected by lockdowns. Use a demand and supply graph to explain how the lockdowns affect the equilibrium price and quantity. 3) Bushfires are more likely to happen in summer. If a bushfire happens again in the coming summer, how would you expect it to affect the timber market?

Consider a market for solar energy panels as shown in the given graph. Due to a major breakthrough in terms of technological advancement in its manufacturing, the cost of production has gone down drastically. This causes the manufacturers of solar energy panels to shift their supply curve. Show the impact of this technological advancement on the supply curve of solar energy panels. Using the Line drawing tool, draw the new supply curve of solar energy panels. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity demanded after the supply curve of solar energy panels shifts? O A. Both price and quantity demanded increase. O B. Both price and quantity demanded decrease. O C. Price increases and quantity demanded decreases. O D. Price decreases and quantity demanded increases.

9. Shirts in supply or demana 11 The following graph shows the market for croissants in San Diego, where there are over 1,000 bakeries at any given moment. Suppose an innovation in the baking process makes it possible to produce more croissants at a lower cost than ever before. Show the effect of this change on the market for croissants 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.
