Suppose that a drug that was illegal has been made legal. It is observed that the total expenditure on this drug falls with legalisation. While non-economists might explain this in terms of a change inconsumer tastes, as economists we can explain this while sticking with the assumption that consumer tastes have not changed. Draw a demand and supply diagram showing the case where total expenditureclearly and unambiguously falls (with no shift in the demand curve) and provide a written explanation. ( maximum word limit: 100 words)

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%?
The price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impactedsupply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But theprice increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude tobe turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabiahave both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy InformationAdministration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater thanproduction by 20 million barrels this year.In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the USgovernment to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol.Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected becausecrude is such a small part of their spending.a.

Suppose the current price of a good is $125. At this price, the quantity supplied is 150 units, and the quantity demanded is 110 units. For every $1 decrease in price, the quantity supplied decreases by 5 units and the quantity demanded increases by 3 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded isless than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing a . In order to adjust, the market price will until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of and an equilibrium price of .
For Jones, X and Y are perfect substitutes, and he is always willing to substitute 6 units of X for 2 units of Y. The price per unit of X is $5, and the price per unit of Y is $15. Jones’s income is $60. Compute the slope of Jones’s budget line and how many units of X does Jones consume? Suppose that the price of X increases to $10, and everything else remains the same. How many units of X does Jones consume? At which price does the demand curve of X become horizontally flat?
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
