What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
If a 10 decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8 increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10 decrease in the price cause another 3 increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
As a general rule, is it safe to assume that a change in the price of a good will always have its most significant impact on the quantity demanded of that good, rather than on the quantity demanded of miller goods? Explain.
Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
If demand is inelastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
We know that a change in the price of a product causes a movement along the demand curve. Suppose consumers believe that prices will be rising in the future. How will that affect demand for the product in the present? Can you show this graphically?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
