Suppose that research finds a link between high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and obesity, which then leads American consumers to switch from HFCS products to pure cane sugar products. The graphs show the markets for cane sugar in Haiti and the United States before the studies were divulged. Shift the curves in the graphs, including the horizontal world price curve, to describe the new trade equilibrium that results after the switch in preferences of American households, and then answer the follow‑up question.
Assume that the United States and Haiti are the only non‑HFCS sugar trading parties in the world and that there are no quotas, subsidies, or tariffs distorting these markets.
According to your graphs, at the new equilibrium
a. all Haitian cane sugar consumers benefit.
b. cane sugar producers in Haiti benefit.
d. cane sugar producers in the United States are worse off.
Consider the following general linear demand and supply functions that represent a market:
Qd = Z −GP (3)
Qs = D + EP+ CS (4)
where P is the price, S is a variable denoting the average amount of production shipping costs, and Qd and Qs
are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. Assume D, E, G, and Z all have values greater than zero.
What equation (in addition to equations 3 & 4) completes our mathematical model of market equilibrium?
Identify the parameters, endogenous variables, and exogenous variables in the above system of
Derive expressions for the equilibrium market price (P∗) and quantity (Q∗) and illustrate your answers with a graph. Be sure to specify the symbolic values of the demand and supply curves where they intersect with the P-axis and Q-axis in the positive

The demand and supply of pizza is defined by the following equations:
Qd = D(P, Y ) = 1 + Y − 2P
Qs = D(P, PM) = 2 P/PM
where, Qd is quantity demand, P is the price of each pizza sold, Y is the average income of consumers, Qs is the quantity supplied, and Pm is the price of inputs used in the production of pizza.
(a) List the endogenous and exogenous variables of this model
(b) Find the equilibrium price Pe and quantity Qe of pizza as a function of the exogenous variables.
(c) Use a simple demand and supply diagram to show what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity when there is an increase in one of the exogenous variables.

- Suppose the annual demand for gasoline as motor fuel in the US can be represented by the demand curve: Qd=125 - 10*P, where Qd is the quantity measured in billions of gallons, P is the price in dollars per gallon, and the supply curve is: Qs=-100 + 40*P . A) First, solve each equation for P, so that you can represent the inverse demand and the inverse supply on a graph with P on the vertical axis B) Now, draw the supply-demand graph, with P on the vertical axis.

However, even a single agent economy such as this one has all of the features any economy would, such as supply and demand curves, and equilibrium prices and quantities. Miranda plays many roles in this economy, as all of the profit earned by Miranda the producer is transmitted to Miranda the shareholder, which represents additional income that Miranda the consumer can spend on fish in addition to the labor income earned by Miranda the worker. (a) Suppose Miranda earns both labor income and profit, so that pq = wl + π(p). Rewrite her utility maximization problem and find the new demand for fish qd(p) and leisure r(p). (b) Find the equilibrium price p* and quantity q* of fish.

(An example might be Nashville after the spring floods or New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.) Other than building supplies (which is too easy :), choose a market for a good or service that will be affected. Will demand or supply be affected? (Even if it might be both, just choose one or the other to keep it simpler). What happens to equilibrium prices and output in this market? Draw a supply and demand graph for your own use, and then explain the process in detail. Choose a market that has not already been chosen by a classmate. Be creative and thoughtful!arrow_forward
- Suppose that, as part of an international trade agreement, the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee. Will this affect the supply or the demand 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?

If the statement has two parts, or partly true and partly wrong, explain both. The evaluation of your answer focuses on the quality of your explanation. Given the following information: A fundamental feature of a market economy is that no consumer is forced to buy a specific number of units of a product—each consumer is free to decide not to buy if the consumer thinks that the price is too high. Statement to evaluate: This fundamental feature substantially weakens the economic case for the government to regulate the price charged by a monopoly for its product.
