Illustrate the following with supply and demand curves: In March 2015, hogs in the United States were selling for 81 cents per pound, up from 58 cents per pound a year before. This was due primarily to the fact that supply had decreased during the period. Show this change in the figure on the right. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the equilibrium point for 2015 in the U.S. hog market. Label your point 'E'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, illustrate the change in the U.S. hog market between 2014 and 2015. Properly label your line 'S2015'- (Hint: Perform the steps in the order given.)

Suppose that in 2007 Ford sold 500,000 Mustangs at an average price of $18,800 per car; in 2008, 600,000 Mustangs were sold at an average price of $19,500 per car. From these statements what changes in supply or demand on the market for Mustangs produced such changes in equilibrium? (One graph. Start by plotting two points (price versus quantity, shift either supply or demand, not both) and then draw supply and demand graphs through them in a way that explains the change in the equilibrium from 2007 to 2008.

Assume that we are looking at the market for California wine. Assume that the initial equilibrium price is $20 and quantities are 1,000. What would be the impact on this market of a severe drought that destroys 50% of the grapes that are used to make this wine? Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would decrease resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a surplus would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and higher quantity of wine. Supply would shift to the left, a shortage would develope, prices would increase resulting in higher prices and lower quantity of wine.
Use the following table to answer the question below. Quantity Demanded Price Quantity Supplied 5 $7 9 6 6 8 7 5 7 8 4 6 9 3 5 10 2 4 11 1 3 If demand decreased by 4 units at each price, what would the new equilibrium price and quantity be? Multiple Choice $3 and 5 units $4 and 6 units $5 and 7 units $6 and 8 units Assume that the graphs show a competitive market for the product stated in the question. In graph 1, an increasing line, S intersects two decreasing lines, D1 and D2 at points E1 and E2, respectively. A positive shift from D1 to D2 (to the right) is shown with an increase in price from P1 to P2 and increase in quantity from q1 to q2. In graph 2, an increasing line, S intersects two decreasing lines, D1 and D2 at points E1 and E2, respectively. A negative shift from D1 to D2 (to the left) is shown with a decrease in price from P1 to P2 and decease in quantity from q1 to q2. In graph 3, two increasing lines, S1…
In each of the following cases, determine how supply or demand shifts and how the equilibrium changes. Select the correct answer in each blank space (_______) a. Smartphones: Microchips used in smartphones become less costly to produce. As a result, the __________________( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) smartphones increase(s), causing the equilibrium price to (*Rise, *Fall, or *Rise, fall or remain unchanged) and the equilibrium quantity to (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall) b. ALS medical research funds: The ALS ice bucket challenge goes viral, leading to greater awareness of the benefits of and need for ALS research. As a result, the _____________ ( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) ALS research increase(s), causing the equilibrium price (or opportunity cost) of such research to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall) and the equilibrium quantity to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain…
Graphically demonstrate how the following economic events influence (ceteris paribus) the relevant demand function. Label your axes, and specify the market you are discussing. A strong growing season for pomegranates leads to lower prices of the fruit.
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.
Graphically illustrate and explain the following conditions of equilibrium condition. Also, explain what would happen on equilibrium price and quantity. 1 increase in demand is an equal decrease in price 2 decrease in demand is greater than the increase in supply 3 increase in demand is less than the increase in supply 4 decrease in supply is greater than the decrease in supply 5 increase in demand is greater than the increase in supply
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, in early 2017, President Donald Trump was considering whether to reverse a requirement by the Environmental Protection Agency that oil refiners increase the amount of ethanol they blend with gasoline. If the requirement were to remain, the result would be an increase in demand for ethanol, which is made from corn. Many U.S. farmers can use the same acreage to grow either corn or soybeans. Use TWO SEPARATE demand and supply graphs to analyze the effect on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of CORN and Soybeans resulting from an increase in demand for ethanol Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
