Imagine you are the owner of a natural gas company. You can either extract as much of the resource as fast as possible or delay extraction until a future time. Projections indicate that the price of natural gas is expected to fall in the future. What would you do in the present?
a. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a rightward shift of the current supply curve in the future. B. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement down the current supply curve.C. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement up the current supply curve.D. Sell as little natural gas as possible in the present and delay extraction until the future—reflected by a leftward shift of the current supply curve in the future.
Assume two famous kurta brands; A1Suits selling kurtas made with natural pure cotton while K2Kaprey with polyester.
An article is published giving advantages and recommendation of wearing pure cotton clothing material during a heat wave. What will be the short-run and the long-run impact of the research article?
In support of your answer apply the comparative statics analysis, using clearly labelled two panel diagrams of demand and supply model, along-with brief explanations for:
Short-run market changes due to ‘Rationing function of Price’.
Long-run market analysis of ‘Guiding or Allocating function of Price’.

- Consider the following scenarios. Think about how each scenario would affect the price of khaki pants. A new technology reduces the time it takes to make a pair of khaki pants. The price of the cloth used to make khaki pants falls. The wage rate paid to garment workers increases. The price of jeans increases. People's incomes increase. Assignment: Address the following statements related to the scenario above. Does each event change demand, supply, both, or neither? Explain your choice. Does the event increase or decrease demand and/or supply? Explain your answer. How does this change in demand and/or supply affect the equilibrium prices and quantity within the market?

- true or false - explain in short be supported with an economic model. If the demand for and supply of a product both increases, the equilibrium quantity of the product must also increase. If the demand for a product decreases and the supply of the product increases, the equilibrium price of the product may increase or decrease, depending on whether supply or demand has shifted more. Assume that there is a fixed supply in the market. A higher price will result from a change in demand brought about by a rise in income.arrow_forwardIn early 1998, Luis Tellez, Mexico’s oil minister, held a secret meeting with his Saudi Arabian counterparts. As a government official, he decides how many barrels of oil Mexico would produce and sell to other countries. The purpose of a secret meeting was to increase earnings, or revenues, from selling oil by raising world price of oil, which had fallen 50% over the previous two years. The low oil price was creating serious problems for both governments. A plan to increase oil price will not succeed unless other oil-exporting countries were willing to reduce oil production. Why? Why not just raise prices? To make the plan work, Tellez had to persuade his fellow oil ministers to produce less. But how much less? What information he needs to know in order to answer this question?arrow_forwardAssuming hypothetical equilibrium in Demand/Supply Model of Apples, illustrate impact of following event: The government announces increase in Wages of workers.arrow_forward
