Suppose the market for ensaimada is described by the following equations.
Qd = 1000 -50P
Qs = 500 + 50P where
Qd = quantity demanded
Qs = quantity supplied
P = price
Derive the equilibrium price and quantity for ensaimada.
Will there be a shortage or surplus in the market if the price of ensaimada is equal to 4 pesos. Explain your answer. How large is the surplus or shortage?
In each of the following scenarios, explain the changes in either supply or demand that would result. If the initial equilibrium price were yet to change, indicate whether a surplus or a shortage would result. Given this, what do you expect will subsequently happen to the price of the good?

- Using the market for nursing homes and care homes for older people, suppose that the market is in equilibrium. Then, there is an increase in wages for healthcare workers. Would there be a temporary shortage or surplus in the market? Will there be a change in quantity supplied or quantity demanded after the price rises to get to your new equilibrium Shortage = A Surplus = B Quantity Supplied = C Quantity Demanded D Instructions: State whether you think it will be A, B, C, or D. The answer will be combination of two, for example if you think there is a shortage and a change in quantity supplied, you would have AC. In your answers only include the letter the two capital letters. Make sure choose between AB first, then between CD. Answer:arrow_forwardA surge in bread prices causes the government to worry that many poor individuals will no longer be able to afford a basic meal. To combat the surge, the government decides to set an effective (or binding) price ceiling. Draw the market for bread below with the equilibrium price, price ceiling, and label the surplus or shortage. (Make sure to label each axis on the graph!) List three possible unintended side effects of this policy. Be specific.arrow_forwardThe following equations represent the annual quantity demanded (Qd) and quantity supplied (Qs) for tickets for Danubiana Museum of Modern Art in Bratislava, Slovakia.
