Assume the world market for crude oil is in equilibrium at $120/barrel. How would an increase in demand together with an increase in supply (all else equal) be expected to affect the equilibrium price and quantity of crude oil? Using supply, demand and any appropriate changes, graphically illustrate your answer as part of your explanation
Graphically illustrate using the Supply and demand graph and explain the impact of the severe drought and cold on the tourism market in Kansas.
The following graph shows the annual market for Florida oranges, which are sold in units of 90-pound boxes. In this market, the equilibrium price is $_________ per box, and the equilibrium quantity of oranges is ________ million boxes. For each price listed in the following table, determine the quantity of oranges demanded, the quantity of oranges supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls. pressure on prices options: upward, downward Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result…

Suppose that you decide to start a new business of making children’s ready-made garments. Make a (Hypothetical) linear supply schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity supplied for your business. Make a graph showing equilibrium, shortage and surplus in the ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose cheap ready-made garments are imported from China. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity for the Pakistani ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that to boost the local industry, the Pakistani government gives subsidy on electricity prices. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…

Answer Options: a.) an increase in supply and a decrease in demand b.) a decrease in supply and demand c.) a decrease in supply and an increase in demand d.) an increase in supply and demand
Hello, I only need the answer to the last question that is in BOLD. A market consists of groups of buyers and sellers of a good or service. Market equilibrium represents the price at which the quantity of goods supplied is balanced with the number of goods consumers are willing and able to buy. Consider the market for coffee: Assume first that there is a heatwave that damages a large portion of coffee beans. Describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity? Next, assume there is a new study that finds enormous health benefits to coffee consumption. Again, describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity? Now, extend your analysis to what might happen if both of these events (weather which damages coffee beans…

One of the largest changes in the economy over the past several decades is that technological advances have reduced the cost of making computers. Draw a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happened to price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for computers. Forty years ago, students used typewriters to prepare papers for their classes; today they use computers. Does that make computers and typewriters complements or substitutes? Use a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happened to price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for typewriters. Should typewriter producers have been happy or sad about the technological advance in computers? Are computers and software complements or substitutes? Draw a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happened to price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for software. Should software producers have been happy or sad about the technological advance in…
