In the article Examine the following market failures: public good, asymmetric information, positive or negative externality. (i) identify the type of market failure being discussed in the article and discuss why market failure occurs in this scenario. TRINIDAD and Tobago's economy has plunged into what economists arecalling 'market failure', as an uptick in natural gas prices and productionare masking underperformance the rest of the economy.The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Financial Economics LecturerDr Vaalmikki Arjoon said in a response to queries earlier this month: “Theeconomy is currently in a market failure. While revenues have improvedprimarily due to an uptick in natural gas production, this is masking acontinued underperformance in the rest of the economy - all non-gasrelated sectors."

In the financial market, what causes a movement along the demand curve? What causes a shift in the demand curve?
In 2018, a cold front in Barbados increased both the demand for water heaters andgasolines. The usage of gasoline was 581 tonnes, an increase from 499 tonnes in theprevious year. The Petroleum Company of Barbados advised Government officials thatdemand could outweigh supply and asked companies to increase the supply. They alsoasked major gasoline users, such as power plants, to reduce demand.i. Illustrate the effect of the cold front on the demand for gasoline using a demandcurve diagram over the two years. ii. Assuming the Petroleum Company of Barbados did not issue a directive for anincrease in supply and a decrease in demand, explain the problem that would existin the economy and how would this be corrected over time. iii. Illustrate the effect of major gasoline suppliers increasing supply as well as usersreducing their demand. iv. Discuss one factor EACH that you think influence demand and supply for waterheaters. Provide examples v. Is demand for gas is price elastic or price…

On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price causes an increase in quantity demanded because the product in question is now relatively less expensive thansubstituteproducts.Explainwhyaggregatedemand does not increase for the same reason in response to a decrease in the aggregate price level. In other words, whatcausestotalspendingtoincreaseifitisnotbecause goods are now cheaper?
Supposing that some intelligence information point to an increase in the price of sugar in the near future. Using a graph, illustrate how this will affect its current demand.
Suppose that both groups of students are on the right track, and each of the events described above arepartially responsible for the decrease in the price of pizzas. Based on your analysis of the explanationsoffered by the two groups of students, how would you determine which of the possible causes was thedominant cause of the decrease in the price of pizza? 1. Whichever change occured first must have beenthe primary cause of the change in the price of pizzas 2. If the equilibrium quantity of pizzas increases,then the demand shift in the market for pizzas must have been larger than the supply shift. 3. if theequilibrium quantity of pizzas increase, then the supply shift in the market for pizzas must have beenlarger than the demand shift. 4. If the price decrease was large, then the supply shift in the martket forpizzas must have been larger than the demand shift
A newspaper article mentions that two of South Korea’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, - Samsung Electronics Company and Hynix Semiconductor - would suspend all their memory chip production for some time. The article goes on to say that another large semiconductor manufacturer was likely to follow suit. Collectively, these chip manufacturers produce about 30 percent of the world’s basic semiconductor chips. Based on this information, how is the market for computers altered? This answer involves no numerical computation. However, graphs/plots should be used to elaborate your answer. Explain plus make graphs for this answer.
suppose the price of orange juice rises and the apples falls. what would you expect ti happen to the price and quantity of apple juice? why would the equilibrum quanity increase while the impact onbthe equilbrum price be uncertain?
can you answer these questions too: Suppose that more consumers prefer the disposable cell phone over the smart phone because the disposable cell phone is more durable than the smart phone. This latest news comes after the fact that firms that manufacture disposable cell phones have the latest technology integrated into their production facilities. What will be the market effect? Going back to question (d), suppose that the price of a disposable cell phone is now set at $11.75. How many disposable cell phones will be demanded by consumers? Whichever curve you’ve determined should be shifted, derive the new function.
According to a researcher at the FDA, vegan foods are “the way if the future”. Morepersons have become health conscious and are looking for foods which will fit thislifestyle. One such food is the Beyond Burger, a plant-based alternative to beef. Notably,despite strong demand for beef burgers, the supply chain has seen a host of disruptionsthat are preventing producers from getting their products to market.Beyond Burger’s sales in Canada totaled $3.0 billion at the end of 2021, accounting for20% of all retail sales of burger patties (meat used in burgers), and 40% of the largermarket for vegan foods. By the end of 2025, sales of Beyond Burgers are projected to makeup 40% of all burger sales.i. Illustrate and explain the effect of the increased use of Beyond Burgers on (i) theburger patties market and (ii) the vegan market.
Piper Gene Munster, the person responsible for a survey dedicated to Apple in which he " found" out an estimated number of IPhones that were sold, has come up with yet another interesting theroy. According to Munsterand the past-week Apple announcement about 1 million IPhones sold, the calculations take to the conclusion that after the price cut,the sales increased up to 200%... By Munster's reckoning, Apple and AT&T were selling an averageof 9,000 IPhones a day before the price reduction, which would have put their quarterly sales at 594,00 as of September 5. By the end of the quarter, he believes Apple will have sold a total of 1.28 million Iphones. What was the price elasticity of demand for IPhones in 2007 prior to the price reduction if the percentage change in price was 40%?
