Assume that the market can be represented by the supply and demand curves: Qs = 6P - 60 Qp = 60 - 4P
1. What is the price in equilibrium?
2. What is the quantity in equilibrium?
Suppose the market demand for shirts is given by Qd = 300 – 20P and the market supply for shirts is given by Qs = 20P – 100, where P = price (per shirt). i. Graph the supply and demand schedules for shirts between price = $5 through to $15 (increase in units of 1, i.e. 5, 6, 7…). ii. Using the equations provided, in equilibrium, how many shirts would be sold and at what price? iii. What would happen if suppliers set the price of shirts at $15? Explain the market adjustment process.
Explain why the following statement is false: “In the goods market, no buyer would be willing to pay more than the equilibrium price.

In equilibrium, how many pizzas would be sold, and at what price? What would happen if suppliers set the price of pizza at $15? Explain the market adjustment process. Suppose the price of hamburgers, a substitute for pizza, doubles. This leads to a doubling of the demand for pizza (at each price consumers demand twice as much pizza as before). Write the equation of the new market demand for pizza. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity for pizza. If the price of Pizza is $2 what is the elasticity of demand and supply for pizza? Now if the price increases to $5 calculate the demand and supply elasticities.arrow_forwardWhat happens in the market for bagels if the price of cream cheese increases? Assume that bagels and cream cheese are complementary goods. Question 34 options: A) Both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of bagels fall B) Both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of bagels increase. C) The equilibrium price increases and the equilibrium quantity decreases in the market for bagels D) The equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity increases in the market for bagels.arrow_forward
- 1. The Smith family eats both meat and potatoes on a regular basis and we need to know how the family views these goods. If the price of meats rises and the family eats more potatoes, then the two goods must be a. Substitutes b. Complements c. Inferior d. Normal 2. Which of the following is not a determinant of Supply? a. Prices of resources b. Technology and productivity c. Prices of Complements d. Producers’ expectations e. The number of producers 3. In December, both the price of Christmas trees and the quantity of trees sold rises. Is this a violation of the Law of Demand? Explain your answer 4. Explain the following statement in terms of Supply and Demand: “When a war breaks out in the Middle East, the price of gasoline rises and the price of a used Cadillac falls”.arrow_forwardSuppose the market demand for Omani Halwa is given by Qd = 400 – 20 P and the market supply for Omani Halwa is given by Qs = 20 P – 200, where P = price (per Omani Halwa). Graph the supply and demand schedules for Omani Halwa using $10 through $20 as the value of P. In equilibrium, how many Omani Halwas would be sold and at what price? What would happen if suppliers set the price of Omani Halwa at $20? Explain the market adjustment process. “A household’s decision about what quantity of a particular output, or product to demand depends on a number of factors.” Discuss the major factors affecting the demand.arrow_forwardExplain why the following statement is false: “In the goods market, no buyer would be willing to pay more than the equilibrium price.” We know that a change in the price of a product causes a movement along the demand curve. Suppose consumers believe that prices will be rising in the future. How will that affect demand for the product in the present? Can you show this graphically?arrow_forward
