a.
All of the options
b.
The price R.O 1.5 is the market clearing price of milk
c.

Will the equilibrium price of orange juice increase or decrease in each of the following situations? LO7a.
A medical study reporting that orange juice reduces cancer is released at the same time that a freak storm destroys half of the orange crop in Florida.
The prices of all beverages except orange juice fall in half while unexpectedly perfect weather in Florida results in an orange crop that is 20 percent larger than normal.
Suppose demand and supply are given by: (LO3, LO4)Qx d = 14 − 1/2 Px and Qx s = 1/4Px − 1a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity. Show the equilibrium graphically.

- ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=20−2Qd.P=20−2Qd.Supply is represented by the equation P=−5+3Qs,P=−5+3Qs,where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

Suppose that annual demand in the U.S. market for ice cream cones can be expressed as QD = 800 + .2I - 100P, where QD is the number of cones demanded in millions of cones, I equals average monthly income in dollars, and P is price in dollars per cone. Supply can be expressed as QS = 200 + 150P (with the same units for quantity and price). A. Graph the demand and supply curves for ice cream cones, assuming that average monthly income is $2,000, and solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. B. Now assume that average monthly income drops to $750 and supply is unchanged. Draw the new demand curve on the same graph as used in (a) above and solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. How would you describe the shift in demand intuitivelyarrow_forward

Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets:Q=D(p)=2372−19p, p > 0 Let the market supply of widgets be given by:Q=S(p)=−3+6p, p > 0 where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price.What is the equilibrium price?

For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.arrow_forwardThe total demand for Cement and the total supply of Cement per month in the UAE construction market are as shown in the table below: a) Suppose that the government establishes a price ceiling of Dh 295 per ton for ,Cement.
