The following graph shows the annual market for Florida oranges, which are sold in units of 90-pound boxes.
In this market, the equilibrium price is $_________ per box, and the equilibrium quantity of oranges is ________ million boxes.
For each price listed in the following table, determine the quantity of oranges demanded, the quantity of oranges supplied, and the direction of pressure exerted on prices in the absence of any price controls.
pressure on prices options: upward, downward
Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges.
Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result…
Consider the market for gasoline that is initially in equilibrium. Suppose that the Middle East, a major supplier of petroleum used to produce gasoline, erupts into war. At the same time suppose that the price of electric vehicles falls. Given these changes and holding everything else constant, what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for gasoline relative to the initial equilibrium price and quantity in the market
a. The equilibrium price may increase, decrease or remain the same while the equilibrium quantity will decrease
b. The equilibrium price may increase, decrease or remain the same while the equilibrium quantity willincrease
c. The equilibrium price will increase while the equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease or remain the same
d. The equilibrium price will decrease while the equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease or remain the sam
Suppose you are asked to do a market analysis in an area in which a natural disaster has recently occurred. (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!
