Suppose the demand schedule in a market can be represented by the equation QD=500-10P, where QD is the quantitydemanded and P is the price. Also, suppose the supply schedule can be represented by the equation Q8=200+ 10P, whereQS is the quantity supplied.Refer to Scenario 4-1. Suppose the price is currently equal to 10 in this market. Is there a shortage or surplus in this market,and how large is the shortage/surplus?

The equilibrium is established where the demand and supply are equal. Mismatch between the demand…

For each of the determinants of demand in Equation 2.1, identify an example illustrating the effect on the demand for hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius. Then do the same for each of the determinants of supply in Equation 2.2. In each instance, would equilibrium market price increase or decrease? Consider substitutes such as plug-in hybrids, the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt, and complements such as gasoline and lithium ion laptop computer batteries.
An economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.
Assuming an increase in Demant and decrease in Supply, which of the following statements is TRUE? The price of the good will decrease. The quantity of the good will definitely decrease. The price of this good will definitely increase. There will be a permanent shortage of this good. The new equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease, or stay the same. A surplus of this good will result from these changes in Supply and Demand. What new equiLibrium quantity will result depends on the relative magnitude of the changes and the shapes of the Demand and Supply curves. We cannot determine what will happen to price.
Assume the market for gruel again, which recall is an inferior good. Suppose consumer income decreases once again, but now, at the same time, the number of sellers of gruel is also decreasing. Now, the equilibrium price of gruel ____ and the equilibrium quantity____. a. increases; decreases b.increases; is indeterminate c.increases; increases d. is indeterminate; decreases e. is indeterminate; increases (d. Is not the correct answer)
Suppose the current price of a good is $125. At this price, the quantity supplied is 150 units, and the quantity demanded is 110 units. For every $1 decrease in price, the quantity supplied decreases by 5 units and the quantity demanded increases by 3 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded is _____ than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing a ______ . In order to adjust, the market price will ______ until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of _______ .
