The accompanying graph represents a hypothetical market for luxury automobiles. Suppose that a major luxury car producer éxits the market in order to produce more economy cars. At the same time, a new tax law means that many tax payers will receive large refunds this year. According to a marketing firm, the result is a higher quantity of luxury cars selling at higher prices. Manipulate the graph to demonstrate what must be happening to supply and demand.

Normally, the people of COVID-FREE LAND demand of 3000 sanitizers and 18000 toilet rolls. Suddenly, there is outbreak of covid-19 and demand for sanitizers and toilet rolls increased to 4,000 and 20,000 respectively. How could COVID-FREE land meets its new demand. Identify and comprehensively discuss at least three possibilities or ways.
Use the demand and supply (D&S) model to demonstrate the change in the market conditions from Q3 2020 to Q3 2021 for the new car market and used car market in the US. Use two separate D&S diagrams corresponding to the two markets, and carefully label the curves and clearly indicate all equilibrium prices and quantities. For your price points, use values based on actual data where possible. Use hypothetical values (rough guesses) relying on intuition for quantities. What do you think the price elasticity of demand (PED) might look like for new or used cars in Q3 2021 compared to Q2 2020? In your answer, discuss a key determinant of PED.
Suppose that in the citrus market, while the amount of production decreased due to cold winter conditions, consumers' desire to drink citrus juice increased in order to strengthen their immunity due to the COVID-19 epidemic. In this case, how is the equilibrium price and quantity affected in the citrus market? Evaluate this with the help of the figure for the case where the supply curve shifts more than the demand curve. (Note: Do not forget to write the names of the axes while drawing the figure. Show clearly the supply-demand curve and the market equilibrium point in the first case and the supply-demand curve and equilibrium point after the shift.)

Demand for cookies is of the following form: P=20-4QD, where QD is millions of cookies demanded per year and P is price in US dollars. Supply of cookies of the following form: P=6+Qs, where QS is millions of cookies supplied per year and P is price in US dollars. a. What is the equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. b. Graph the supply and demand curves, marking their intersection. Be sure to label intercepts, equilibrium, etc. c. The government imposes a tax of $2 per cookie on producers of cookies. What is the new equilibrium quantity of cookies traded? Solve the equation, showing your work. d. In a graph, show how the supply curve has shifted. What price do consumers now pay? After paying the tax, how much to producers receive.
(a) The demand for petroleum is given by QD=85 − 0.4? where Q Dis the quantity demanded in thousands of barrels per day and P is the price per barrel in dollars. The supply of petroleum is given by QS=55+0.6?. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market. (b) In the context of the problem in part (a), calculate the demand and supply for petroleum if the market price is $15 per barrel. What problem exists in the economy.
Suppose that the demand for rental apartments in Washington, DC, is represented by the following equation, where P is the monthly rent. QD = 10,000 – 2PThe supply of rental apartments is represented by the following equation: QS = 2,000 + 3PThe equilibrium rent is a) $ , and the equilibrium quantity is b) $ . Part 2 (1 point) Suppose the city council passes an ordinance placing a price ceiling of $1,200 on apartment rentals. How much of a shortage will this lead to? apartments
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given by QD =100 – 2P QS = 1/2P Assume also that the market is perfectly competitive 7. Steel is a substitute for lumber in construction. Now suppose the price for steel rises. Use a graph of supply and demand to show what happens in equilibrium. Show changes relative to the original equilibrium you found. 8. the government introduces a subsidy of s=5 per unit of lumber transacted in the market. Calculate the new equilibrium quantity and the price paid by consumers and received by producers 9. Given the subsidy in 8, calculate and illustrate in a graph the consumer surplus, producer surplus and subsidy expenditure. 10. Calculate the deadweight loss caused by the subsidy in 8 and illustrate it in a graph. 11. Who benefits more from the subsidy, consumers or producers? Why?
