One In the market for sugar, there has been a discovery of a new technology for more production of the commodity. In that same market, consumers expect price of sugar to fall in the next month. As a student of managerial economics, analyse (with the aid of a well labelled diagram) the effect of these simultaneous occurrences on the equilibrium price and quantity of sugar respectively. Hint: Use the scenario where the magnitude of the supply change is greater than the demand change.

Refer to the company that you proposed in the previous question. For each scenario below, use a supply and demand analysis to make a prediction regarding both the equilibrium price and quantity for your good or service. That is, for each part, tell me whether you expect the equilibrium price of your product to rise or fall AND whether you expect equilibrium quantity to rise or fall. Also include in your explanation which curve is shifting and which shifter variable is affected. a) Your customers’ incomes increase. Be sure to note whether the good or service you are providing is a normal good or an inferior good. b. The minimum wage is raised in your area, and you must pay your employees more. (Assume you have employees for this scenario, even if that was not part of your initial plan.) c. A firm that offers the same good or service moves into town. d. Your customers expect the price of your good or service to fall in the future. e. The price of a good or service that…
In today’s global economy, the number of firms in the market critically depends on the entry and exit decisions of foreign firms.

The price of oil is currently over $80 per barrel and has been as high as $90 per barrel after Saudi Arabia and a couple of oter OPEC countries reduced output this year. The demand for oil is expected to increase by 1 million barely per day over the next year according to the International Energy Agency but OPEC+ has been unclear about its intentions of increasing oil supplies. a. If OPEC+ increases its production by million barrels per day, we can unambiguously say that the equilibrium price will fall, and the equilibrium quantity will rise.
I need help with finding equilibrium point on this question? a retailer will buy 45 radios fom a wholesaler if the price is $10 each but only 20 if the price is $60. the wholesaler will supply 35 radios at $30 each and 70 radios at $50 each. assuming the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point. I started with using the equation for a line and moved on to demand equation, how do I find out the supply functions? Do I plug in the supply number as (P1,Q1) and (P2,Q2) and if they come out equal is that the equilibrium point or is there something I am missing?
Assuming hypothetical equilibrium in Demand/Supply Model of Apples, illustrate impact of following events: Suppose the doctor recommend eating apples every morning
Demand theory is an economic principle relating to the relationship between consumer demand for goods and services and their prices in the market. In microeconomics, the law of demand is a fundamental principle which states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.An increase in the price of a good may arise from an increase in the price of its substitute, ceteris paribus.’ Explain this statement using an example from the leisure or tourism sector.
Consider the market for pens. Suppose that new research has been published stating that the process of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves memorization, leading parents to avoid giving their children pens in favor of pencils. Further, the price of plastic, a major input in the pen production process, has dropped sharply. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. 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. image 1 image 2 Compare both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs. Notice that after completing both graphs, you can now see a difference between them that wasn't apparent before the shifts because each graph indicates different magnitudes for the supply and demand shifts in the market for pens. Use the results of your…
