For each of the following scenarios, use a supply and demand diagram to illustrate and explain the effect of the given shock on the equilibrium price and quantity in the specified competitive market. Consider the market is initially in equilibrium. Many European countries have suffered a significant drop in tourism due to the severe Coronavirus outbreak. However, airline companies have recently predicted that tourism will increase by the end of the year. On the other hand, multiple airline companies filed for bankruptcy and went out of business during the pandemic. Show the effect that these two changes will have on the market for airline tickets to Europe at the end of this year. PHP Group of Industries are producers of both Steel and Aluminum sheets in Bangladesh. Steel and aluminum are produced in the same factory and they are interchangeably used by consumers. Steel prices in the market surged dramatically during the pandemic. Show the effect of this on the aluminum market.
A key skill in economics is the ability to use the theory of supply and demand to analyse specific markets. In this assignment, you get a chance to demonstrate your ability to analyse the effects of several “shocks” to the market for coffee. Answer all parts of each of the scenarios below. Suppose the National Institutes of Health publishes a study finding that coffee drinking increases the probability of getting colon cancer. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Show graphically with before- and after-curves on the same axes. How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning
How would we go about part G? Concerning parameter B, if it is below or equal to 0, sellers would not enter the market, correct? How does this relate to the rare wood supply shock? Please walk me through part G. Thank you very much.
Expectations of higher future prices cause firms to lower prices today to sell their product before prices rise? True or false
Question 2 For each of the following scenarios, use a supply and demand diagram to illustrate and explain the effect of the given shock on the equilibrium price and quantity in the specified competitive market. Consider the market is initially in equilibrium. q: Due to the high costs of labour, several companies in Europe have started to outsource face masks from various South Asian countries. ALDI is one such company that has decided to outsource their production of face masks from Bangladesh. Show the effect of this on the market for face masks in the UK.
Suppose you are a skilled worker in America who makes barrels. This year you notice that more people than ever are buying barrels but the market price of barrels has gone down. Which of the following “shocks” can best explain this? Group of answer choices An increase in the demand for barrels. A decrease in the demand for barrels. An increase in the supply for barrels. A decrease in the supply for barrels.

"The oil price run - up of 2007 - 08 was caused by strong demand confronting stagnating world production. Although the causes were different, the consequences for the economy appear to have been very similar to those observed in earlier episodes, with significant effects om overall consumption spending and purchases of domestic automobiles in particular. The experience of 2007 - 08 should thus be added to this list of recessions to which oil prices appear to have made a material contribution". Oil price shocks have an evident impact on the short run aggregate supply curve. With the help of a graph demonstrate how rising oil prices affect the SRAS and explain what other factors can cause this shift.
Suppose a firm is currently producing 500 computers per week and charging a price of $1,000. How will the firm respond to a negative demand shock if prices are flexible? Multiple Choice The firm will continue to produce 500 computers. The firm will reduce production to 300 computers. The firm will increase production to 650 computers. The firm will keep the price at $1,000.
Suppose an economy is in long-run equilibrium when housing prices increase causing household wealth to increase. As a result Multiple Choice aggregate demand will increase and real GDP will decrease in the short run. aggregate supply will increase and real GDP will decrease in the short run. aggregate demand will increase and real GDP will increase in the short run. aggregate supply will decrease and real GDP will decrease in the short run.
What happened first was a major policy-induced supply shock. The lockdown forced firms in several directly affected sectors, from restaurants to hotels to airlines, to halt (or at least to drastically decrease) supply. In contrast to other supply shocks analyzed earlier in the book, many firms had no choice other than to stop or decrease production. As a result of sharply lower output, and thus lower income, and of increased uncertainty, this shock had a major effect on demand, not just in the sectors directly affected by the lockdown, but also in the non-affected sectors. Thus, the outcome was a combination of a supply shock and a sharp demand response. In that context, the role of macroeconomic policy was twofold. First: While it could not do much to increase output in the affected sectors, it needed to protect the firms in those sectors from going bankrupt and the workers who lost work from going hungry. Second: It needed to limit the effect of lower demand in the non-affected…
Other things the same, when the price level rises more than expected, some firms will have higher than desired prices which increases their sales. higher than desired prices which depresses their sales. lower than desired prices which increases their sales. lower than desired prices which depresses their sales.
