The Demand for Beef. For each scenario draw a general demand curve and label it D. Then shift the curve to the left or the right depending on what will happen to the demand for beef. Draw an arrow showing direction and label your new curve D1. Then tell me the determinant of demand that shifted the curve. For example, consumer income increases or population decreases. Hint: There is one that is a change in quantity demanded and the curve will not shift, there will just be movement along the curve. 5. Millions of immigrants swell to U.S. population 6. Pork prices drop 7. Surgeon general warns that eating beef can be hazardous to health

Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
How does one analyze a market where both demand and supply shift?
Suppose both of these events took place at the same time. Combine your analyses of the impacts of the iPod and the tariff Induction to determine the likely impact on the equilibrium price and quantity of Sony Walkman-type products. Shaw your answer graphically.
As a general rule, is it safe to assume that a change in the price of a good will always have its most significant impact on the quantity demanded of that good, rather than on the quantity demanded of miller goods? Explain.
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.
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
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.
Explain all the reasons why a decrease in a products price would lead to an increase in purchases.
