Supply and Demand-End of Chapter Problem The demand for organic carrots is given by the following equation: 08 = 75-SPo+ Pc + 21 where Po is the price of organic carrots, Pe is the price of conventional carrots, and / is the average consumer income. Notice how this isn't a standard demand curve that just relates the quantity of organic carrots demandod to the price of organic carrots. This demand function also describes how other factors affect demand-namely, the price of another good (conventional carrots) and income. a. Calculate the inverse demand curve for organic carrots 5 and I= 10, then drag the endpoints of the line when Pc 5 labeled (a.) on the graph to plot this curve

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.
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?
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
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.
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
Suppose both of these events took place at the same time. Combine your analyses of the impacts of the iPod and the tariff Induction to determine the likely impact on the equilibrium price and quantity of Sony Walkman-type products. Shaw your answer graphically.
A life-saving medicine without any close substitutes will tend to have a. a small elasticity of demand. b. a large elasticity of demand. c. a small elasticity of supply. d. a large elasticity of supply.
Explain all the reasons why a decrease in a products price would lead to an increase in purchases.
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?
