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.
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.
How does one analyze a market where both demand and supply shift?
What is the difference between the supply and the quantity supplied of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with the supply curve for milk.

1. Caribbean economies tend to rely heavily on the Tourism sector, offering Sun, Sea andSand as the “tourism product” for which tourists purchase hotel accommodationsto enjoy. Hoteliers offer these services and are therefore major “suppliers” in thismarket.In 2017 however, several natural disasters affected the Caribbean, resulting ineconomic, environmental and human losses. In order to analyze the impact ofthese Natural Disasters on the hotel industry, answer the following questions. a. With the use of an appropriate demand and supply diagram for hotel rooms(accommodation), illustrate and explain how the news of an impending Tropical Stormto the Caribbean region would affect the market price (hotel rates) and quantity tradedof hotel rooms.b. Following the destruction of hotel infrastructure from the passage of the Hurricanes, usean appropriate demand and supply diagram for hotel rooms (accommodations) toillustrate and explain the impact of the Hurricanes on the market price and…
Please no written by hand and no image 6. The supply of wheat is given by the following equation: Qw=-6+4Pw-2PC-PF W where Q is the quantity of wheat supplied, in millions of bushels; Pw is the price of wheat per bushel; Pc is the price of corn per bushel; and P, is the price of tractor fuel per gallon. F a. Graph the inverse supply curve when corn sells for $4 a bushel and fuel sells for $2 a gallon. What is the supply choke price? b. How much wheat will be supplied at a price of $4? $8? c. What will happen to the supply of wheat if the price of corn increases to $6 per bushel? Explain intuitively; then graph the new inverse supply carefully and indicate the new choke price. d. Suppose instead that the price of corn remains $4, but the price of fuel decreases to $1. What will happen to the supply of wheat as a result? Explain intuitively; then graph the new inverse supply. Be sure to indicate the new choke price.
Market Equilibrium A retail chain will buy 800 televisions if the price is $350 each and 1200 if the priceis $300. A wholesaler will supply 700 of these televisions at $280 each and 1400 at $385 each. Assumingthat the supply and demand functions are linear, findthe market equilibrium point and explain what itmeans.
Suppose that the demand schedule for rice for a Saudi family is as follows:PriceQuantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 10,000)Quantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 15,000)SR 5 60 70SR 4 80 95SR 3 100 120SR 2 120 145SR 1 140 170a. Given the table above, draw the demand curve of rice using Excel.b. Show what will happen to your graph if this family like now less rice as they are eatingmore outside.c. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of riceincreases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR15,000.d. Calculate the income elasticity of demand of this family as their income increases fromSR 10,000 to SR15,000 if (i) the price is SR 3 and (ii) the price is SR 1.
