Suppose that price of stl, a for cars market, and gas market, illustrate and briefly explain the probable effects of the increase in the price of steel UN. equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantities, in the cars and gas markets. What happen to the revenues of car, and gas producers/sellers? [Hint: Car and gas are complements. First show how an increase in price of steel will affect the car market. Then based on what happens to car prices, determine what will happen to the gas market]

One of the members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has studied your analysis of Chinese privatization but is worried that the free-market price might be too low to enable producers to earn a fair rate of return on their investment. He asks you to explain what would happen if the Chinese government privatized the market but agreed to purchase (and discard) unsold units of the good at a floor price of $3.50. What do you tell the senator? Assume that the market demand and supply curves (in U.S. dollar equivalent prices) are still given by Qd = 10 − 2P and Qs = 2 + 2P
Consider the market for automobiles, and draw representative supply and demand curves.a) Suppose that the price of gasoline rises, and at the same time, the price of steel (an input to automobile production) falls. Show this on your graph. If you have no other information, what can you say about the change in equilibrium price and quantity?b) Now suppose that you have the additional information that the rise in gasoline prices has been relatively large, while the reduction in steel costs has been relatively small. How would this change your answer to (a)? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Identify the demand or supply determinant(s) that changes and explain how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a purely competitive market will change in each of the following situations. Draw the appropriate demand and supply curves showing the change. (Each graph should have an equilibrium point before the change as well as after; be sure to label all parts of the graphs). a. Product: New homes -wages increases so consumer incomes increase and supply does not change b. Product: French cheese- A tariff is removed from the importation of French cheese while demand remains the same. C. Product: eat-at-home pizza- consumers desire for eating at home increases and the cost of flour (used to make pizza) decreases
Assumed that the demand (D) for potato given by demand: Q = 1500 − 15P, where Q isquantity per month measured in kilos and P is price per kilo. 1. Supply is equals to 900 kilos one day, what will the price be?2. Supply were to fall to 300 kilos, what would the price be?3. The D for Potato shifts outward to Q = 2100 − 15P, what will be answer in part 1 and 2 change?4. Graph the results

6. Individual and market supply Suppose that Shen and Valerie are the only suppliers of bobblehead dolls in some hypothetical market. Their annual supply schedules are given by the following table: Price (Dollars per bobblehead) 2 4 6 8 10 Shen's Quantity Supplied Valerie's Quantity Supplied (Bobbleheads) (Bobbleheads) 10 18 046 8 10 24 28 30 On the following graph, plot Shen's supply of bobblehead dolls using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Valerie's supply of bobblehead dolls using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of bobblehead dolls using the orange points (square symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer.
