Question 1 (a) Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption.(ii) Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?

13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. 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.
11) Suppose that it is observed that the price of a commodity rises and that the quantity sold falls. From this we can deduce A) that the demand curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. B) that the demand curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. C) that the supply curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted. D) that the supply curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted
1. Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output comes from other countries. Suppose that the total demand for wheat in the U.S. wheat market is QDT = 3,244 – 283P, where P is the price measured in dollars per bushel and Q is the quantity of wheat expressed in millions of bushels per year. Of the total demand, total domestic demand was QD,US = 1,700 – 107P. Total supply of wheat in the U.S. market is QST = 1,944 + 207P. As a result of the ongoing trade war with China, suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40 percent. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. How does this drop in export demand impact the market price of wheat in the U.S.? Do farmers have much reason to worry? Explain/support your answer. b. How does the reduction in export demand affect U.S. consumer surplus in the wheat market? Illustrate and explain. c. Now, suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export…
