Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.
Explain why the following statement is false: In the goods market, no buyer would be willing to pay more than me equilibrium price.
Select the correct answer. A price floor will usually shift: demand supply both neither Illustrate your answer with a diagram.
When the price is above the equilibrium, explain how market forces move me market price to equilibrium. Do the same when the price is below the equilibrium.
The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: Price Quantity Demanded per Year Quantity Supplied per Year $45 4,300 300 55 2,300 700 65 1,300 1,300 75 800 2,100 85 650 3,100 What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.
Explain why the following statement is false: In the goods market, no seller would be willing to sell for less than the equilibrium price.
Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.
How does one analyze a market where both demand and supply shift?
Table 3.8 shows information on the demand and supply for bicycles, where the quantities of bicycles are measured in thousands. What is the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at a price of 210? At what price is the quantity supplied equal to 48,000? Graph the demand and supply curve for bicycles. How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from the graph? How can you determine the equilibrium price and quantity from line table?
