The price of crude oil has been increasing. The price of a good rises in two cases, when demand rises or when supply falls, or both. It has been given that there has been a growing demand for crude oil for turning into refined petroleum (increase in demand), along with a decline in its production (fall in supply). It implies that both an increase in demand and a decrease in supply is responsible for the price rise.
Draw a graph to show the information.

- Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.arrow_forwardThe following table shows the weekly demand and supply in the market for ice cream in New York City.

- The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” 1.Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. 2.According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? 3.Based on the information provided, why might your calculation of the elasticity be unreliablearrow_forwardBecause you understand the law of demand, you can deduce that the correct graphical representation of the demand for CDs must bearrow_forwardPrice Felix's Quantity Demanded Janet's Quantity Demanded (Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones) 1 6 16 12 3 2 8 4 1. 5 4 On the following graph, plot Felix's demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol).
