Some have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view?
Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level.
Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded.
Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged.
Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.

- When a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand. As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below.

Price gouging is defined as “selling necessary commodities such as food, gas, ice, oil, and lumber at a price that grossly exceeds the average selling price for the 30 days prior to the emergency.” Many consumers attempt to stock up on emergency supplies, such as bottled water, immediately before and after a hurricane or other natural disaster hits an area. Also, many supply shipments to retailers are interrupted during a natural disaster. Assuming that the law is strictly enforced, what are the economic effects of the price gouging statute? Explain carefully.arrow_forward

- TRUE OR FALSE? An improvement in the technology will reduce the supply of goods while an increase in cost of production may increase. A decrease in the cost of production will shift the supply curve to the left. An increase in the cost of production will shift the supply curve to the right.
