11) Suppose that it is observed that the price of a commodity rises and that the quantity sold falls. From this we can deduce      A) that the demand curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. B) that the demand curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. C) that the supply curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted. D) that the supply curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted
Question 2a:  This one is specifically about natural gas!  Please use the chart below to show three functions: the demand for natural gas, the supply of natural gas prior to the new natural gas discoveries (label it 2000), and the current supply of natural gas (label it this year).  Further, on the chart show the year 2000 natural gas price and the current year price.  For this question assume that there is no change in demand for natural gas from 2000 to this year.   2b.  Look at the price changes you presented for natural gas in part a.  For this question discuss how this price change could effect markets/products which rely heavily on natural gas.  An example product that relies heavily on natural gas is electricity.  (You can write about electricity or another product if you prefer.)
4-1 You have noticed that the price of season tickets to your university’s football matches keeps increasing but the supply of tickets remains the same. Why might supply be unresponsive to changes in price? In the longer term, would it be more responsive? How?

  • article:The supply and demand factors affecting the farm level price for Irish potatoes have undergone considerable changes in the last two decades. On the demand side, per capita consumption has decreased by almost one half, and the use of potatoes has shifted due to changes in the preferences of consumers. Consumption of table stock and processed potatoes has shifted towards greater and other complementary products. On the supply side, domestic production levels of potatoes decreased by over 30 percent, while the number of potato farmers decreased by more than 75 percent over the same period. Against this background of significant changes in the domestic consumption levels, patterns and production of potatoes, this paper examines the effect of these factors on potato price levels and variability. Farm level price and volatility is a concern for several reasons, as it poses challenges for business planning, debt repayment, and, in some cases, solvency.   Question 1  a) List the four…

    Question 1   The price of bauxite increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, bauxite has traded at between 1500 and 1600 USD per tonne. But the price increased to over 1900 USD in November 2020. Growing demand in Canada for bauxite to be turned into aluminium, coupled with a sharp fall in Jamaican production have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Jamaica for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to flood conditions causing damages as well as increased competition. The London Metal Exchange predicts that global consumption of bauxite is likely to be greater than production by 20 million tonnes next year. In the US, companies in the steel and petrol industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of bauxite. Commentators predict that most steel and petrol producers will be unaffected because bauxite is such a small part of their spending.   a. Explain,…
