Will the equilibrium price of orange juice increase or decrease in each of the following situations? LO7a. A medical study reporting that orange juice reduces cancer is released at the same time that a freak storm destroys half of the orange crop in Florida. The prices of all beverages except orange juice fall in half while unexpectedly perfect weather in Florida results in an orange crop that is 20 percent larger than normal.

Assume that both the demand curve and the supply curve for coffee shift to the right but the demand curve shifts more than the supply curve. As a result O the equilibrium price of coffee will decrease; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease. O the equilibrium price of coffee may increase or decrease; the equilibrium quantity will increase. O both the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee will increase. O the equilibrium price of coffee will increase; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease.
ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=20−2Qd.P=20−2Qd.Supply is represented by the equation P=−5+3Qs,P=−5+3Qs,where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Equilibrium price = ? $ Equilibrium quantity = ? units
ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=80−2Qd.P=80−2Qd. Supply is represented by the equation P=−20+2Qs,P=−20+2Qs, where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.
The price of oil is currently over $80 per barrel and has been as high as $90 per barrel after Saudi Arabia and a couple of oter OPEC countries reduced output this year. The demand for oil is expected to increase by 1 million barely per day over the next year according to the International Energy Agency but OPEC+ has been unclear about its intentions of increasing oil supplies. a. If OPEC+ increases its production by million barrels per day, we can unambiguously say that the equilibrium price will fall, and the equilibrium quantity will rise.
13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

The table below shows two demand schedules for a given style of men’s shoe—that is, how many pairs per month will be demanded at various prices at a men’s clothing store in Seattle called Stromnord. Price D1 Quantity Demanded D2 Quantity Demanded $85 53 13 80 60 15 75 68 18 70 77 22 65 87 27 Suppose that Stromnord has exactly 70 pairs of this style of shoe in inventory at the start of the month of July and will not receive any more pairs of this style until at least August 1. Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers.a. If demand is D1, what is the lowest price that Stromnord can charge so that it will not run out of this model of shoe in the month of July? What if demand is D2? b. If the price of shoes is set at $85 for both July and August and demand will be D2 in July and D1 in August, how many pairs of shoes should Stromnord order if it wants to end the month of August with exactly zero pairs of shoes in its inventory? What if the…
Show the change graphically for a simultaneous decrease in demand and a increase in supply. For each scenario, state how equilibrium price and quantity changes. What is the conclusion of these changes (can you say for certainty what direction to equilibrium quantity and price changes)? Recall you have three sets of graphs here. Demand changes by a larger magnitude than Supply Demand changes by a smaller magnitude than Supply Demand and Supply changes by the same magnitude.
1. At a price of $4.61 per pound, the supply for cherries is 16,107 pounds, and the demand is 10,362 pounds. When the price drops to $4.18 per pound, the supply decreases to 10,789 pounds and the demand increases to 12,724 pounds. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. What is the equilibrium price? 2. At a price of $4.97 per pound, the supply for cherries is 16,172 pounds, and the demand is 10,336 pounds. When the price drops to $4.24 per pound, the supply decreases to 10,790 pounds and the demand increases to 12,668 pounds. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. What is the equilibrium quantity? Round to the nearest pound.
