Imagine that in the fictional country Microtopia, the market for a specific good is controlled by a few firms. However, Congress passes a reform that makes the market perfectly competitive. What will likely happen to the price and quantity of the good? The price falls and the quantity increases. The price increases and the quantity falls. Both the price and the quantity falls. Both the price and the quantity increases.

The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.
Before economic reforms were implemented in the countries of Eastern Europe, regulation held the price of bread substantially below equilibrium. When reforms were implemented, prices were deregulated and they rose dramatically. As a result, the quantity demanded for bread dramatically fell and the quantity supplied for supplied rose sharply. Change in demand? Change in supply? Change in market equilibrium price? Change in market equilibrium quantity? Graph?
Comment on another student's post by suggesting a demand or supply shifter different from the one(s) they suggested that would have the same impact on demand or supply. For example, if a student wrote their post about how demand for the good they are writing about would rise due to a change in one demand shifter, you would respond by explaining how the demand for that good would rise due to a change in a different demand shifter. "A carpet cleaning service has just opened and is increasingly becoming popular, many people have experienced their carpets becoming dirty as the spring season rolls in with heavy rain. Since there has been heavy rain the people in this town have been tracking mud all over their carpets ruining the color and staining it, many people have turn to this carpet cleaner to help remove stains and excess mud out of the carpet.

Despite a massive increase in demand, the price of access to the Web actually declined. Change in demand? Change in supply? Change in market equilibrium price? Change in market equilibrium quantity?Graph?
In Alabama, those who hunt and kill alligators for commercial purposes (that is, to sell them) must have a license. The state government places a limit on the number of commercial licenses it issues. For purposes of this question, assume that the number of wild alligators roaming around Alabama is unlimited. Suppose that the demand for Alabama alligator sausage increases. In the short run, what will happen to the price of Alabama alligator sausage, the profits of Alabama alligator sausage producers, and the number of Alabama alligator sausage producers? Explain your answers. In the long run, what will happen to the price of Alabama alligator sausage, the profits of Alabama alligator sausage producers, and the number of Alabama alligator sausage producers? Compare the long-run equilibrium to the equilibrium that existed before the increase in demand. Explain your answers.

(Explain with graphics) A good can be produced in a competitive industry at a cost of $10 per unit. There are 100 consumers are each willing to pay $12 each to consume a single unit of the good (additional units have no value to them.) What is the equilibrium price and quantity sold? The government imposes a tax of $1 on the good. What is the deadweight loss of this tax? (Explain with graphics)
