Suppose the supply curve for open-heart surgery is vertical at a hospital for heart conditions. If the demand for open-heart surgeries increases, what would happen to the equilibrium price of open-heart surgery O The equilibrium price will increase due to an increase in quantity demanded O The equilibrium price will decrease due to a decrease in supply and fixed demand O The equilibrium price will increase due to an increase in demand and fixed supply O The equilibrium price will decrease due to an increase in supply and fixed demand

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?
If demand is inelastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
Using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of supply, if the price of a good rose from $95 to $105, what would be the elasticity of supply if the quantity supplied changed from a. 38 to 42? b. 78 to 82? c. 54 to 66?
If supply is inelastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
When someones kidneys fail, the person needs to have medical treatment with a dialysis machine (unless or until they receive a kidney transplant) or they will die. Sketch a supply and demand diagram, paying attention to the appropriate elasticities, to illustrate that the supply of such dialysis machines will primarily determine the pure.
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.
