There are about 2500 leather wallets available in a country. When the price of these wallets is raised to $3000, economists believe that people may not be willing to buy them. On the other hand, if the price is decreased to $0, the 2500 leather wallets will be sold out. However, no producers will be willing to sell them at $0. If the price is set to $1000, producers will be willing to sell all 2500 leather wallets. Create the demand and supply equation for the leather wallets based on the given information.
An economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.
Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view? Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.

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.

This question provides another chance to practice implementing the 4-step approach to analyzing shifts in supply and demand. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, many people became fearful of going to restaurants for full-service, sit-down meals. C) As the demand decreased, the supply turned into a surplus. As the demand for restaurant meals has decreased, there is an excess of restaurant meals. D) Based on your answer to part c., will the equilibrium quantity of restaurant meals go up or will the equilibrium quantity of restaurant meals go down? Explain your answer. In particular, will your answer focus on quantity demanded or will it focus on the quantity supplied? E) Result: state the effects of the fear of eating in restaurants on the equilibrium price and quantity of restaurant meals
Demand and supply for a good are given by the following two equations: Demand: q = α − p Supply: q = 30 + (1 + τ ) p where q and p denote the quantity and price, respectively. The parameter α is the maximum price consumers are willing to pay, also known as the choke price, while τ represents the tax rate imposed on suppliers. (a) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity in terms of the parameters α and τ. (b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity when τ = 10% and α = 50
Using the supply and demand framework, predict the impact on the equilibrium quantity of cars if consumer incomes decrease. Group of answer choices -Not enough information -Quantity stays the same -Quantity Decreases -Quantity Increases
At a price of $1.94 per bushel, the supply of corn is 9,800 million bushels and the demand is 9,300 million bushels. At a price of $1.82 per bushel, the supply is 9,400 million bushels and the demand is 9,500 million bushels. Find a price supply equation of the form p=mx+b. Find a price-demand equation of the form p=mx+b. Find the equilibrium point.

The weekly demand for wine in the United States is described by the following equation: Qd = 45,000,000 - 1,500,000P where Qd is the weekly quatity demanded in bottles and P is the price per bottle in dollars. The weekly supply of wine in the United States is described by the following equation: Qs = -5,000,000 + 1,000,000P where Qs is the weekly quantity supplied in bottles and P is the price per bottle in dollars. a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for wine in the US? Intense lobbying efforts result in the United States government establishing a $5 per bottle excise tax by wine producers. b. What would be the new equilibirum price and quantity after the imposition of the per bottle excise tax? c. Determine the total amount of the consumer surplus assuming the market for wine is in equilibrium after the imposition of the excise tax.
