Japan Faces Butter Meltdown
Japanese fans of cake, buttered toast and Hollandaise sauce may need to start hoarding soon.
The island nation is facing another likely shortage of butter this fiscal year, according to a report by the Japan Dairy Association.
It’s the second year of butter shortages that last year left supermarket shelves dry , amid tight import controls and falling domestic production of raw milk. Shortages are usually most acute near the Christmas season when consumers buy cakes.
The JDA estimates a 7,100 ton shortage of butter in the year that started in April. The organization estimates domestic demand will rise 0.9% on year to 74,700 tons.
Also fueling the shortages is a long-term fall in raw milk…

Assume Rs. 200 is the original price of milk per liter and 200,000 liters is the original quantity of supply. Suppose the price rises from Rs. 200 to Rs. 300, what will be the amount of Quantity Supplied?Illustrate the impact of (C) on the graph. Is this a movement along the supply curve or shift of the curve?arrow_forwardtrue 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_forward

- Supply and Demand The law of demand and supply are important in business. The law of demand states that as price of a good or service increases, the quantity demand decreases and vice versa. While the law of supply states that as prices of goods and services increase, the quantity supplied increases. The law of demand is a good concept for businesses when setting prices. As businesses raise prices, consumers may buy less of the product because their incomes are mostly stagnant. For example, a parent may buy 4 loaves of bread at $2 each which is $8, but may decide to only buy 2 loaves of bread when the price of a loaf of bread increases to $4. This is because the parent’s income is stagnant and he or she has allocated only $8 for bread.

Share an example of a good or service that follows the law of demand. Give an example of goods or services…arrow_forwardIn the market for computers, the number of computer producers increases.

Use the process of comparative statics to analyse the following changes in market conditions for the pizza market in a capital city (Hint: You are analysing general market condition assuming a competitive market). a) There is a general decrease in consumer income. [assume pizza is a normal good] b) There is a fall in the price pastry ingredients used to make pizza by 25%. 2. You are in the food truck industry in a capital city. You discover a new way to organise the preparation of ingredients that decreases the cost and increases the number of serves per day. You believe this will enable the business to reduce the price of a serve of curry from $20 to $15. It is estimated that the price elasticity of demand for food truck cuisine is 1.9. What will happen to total revenue if the price of a curry per serve is decreased? Should you decrease the price of the curry?arrow_forward11 11. Consider the following economy: There are three goods, legume, tillip and quillip, two consumers (called 1 and 2), and two firms (called x and y). Firm x is owned entirely by consumer 1 and makes tillip out of legume according to the simple linear production technology t :::; 3l . That is, for every unit of legume input, this firm produces three times as many (or less) units of tillip. Firm y is owned entirely by consumer 2 and makes quillip out of legume according to the production technology q = 4l. Each consumer initially owns 5 units of legume. Consumer 1 has utility function u1(t, q) = 6 + .4ln(t) + .6ln(q). Consumer 2 has utility function ui(t, q) = 8 +ln(t) + ln(q). (a) What is the general equilibrium of this economy?
