10. Which of the following statements about OPEC and the oil market during the 1970s and 1980s is (are) correct? (x) Over the long run consumers responded to higher gasoline prices with greater conservation of gasoline and as a result the demand for OPEC products became less elastic. (y) OPEC successfully raised the world price of oil in the 1970s and early 1980s primarily due to an inelastic demand for oil and a reduction in the amount of oil supplied. (z) OPEC could not successfully keep the price of oil high over the long run, because producers of oil outside of OPEC responded to the high price by increasing oil exploration and extraction capacity. A. (x), (y) and (z) B. (x) and (y) only (x) and (z) only D (y) and (z) only Е. (y) only

5. The quantity demanded of a certain brand of TV is 3000 per week when the unit price is $485. For each decrease in unit price of $20 below $485, the quantity demanded increases by 250 units. The suppliers will not market any TVs if the unit price is $300 or lower. But at a unit price of $525, they are willing to make available 2500 units in the market. Find (a) the demand function, (b) the supply function, (c) the equilibrium quantity and price.

2. The price of U.S.-produced long grain rice fell by 40 percent from January 1999 to January 2000. In response to the price fall, growers of U.S. long grain rice planted 17 percent less on acreage in 2000. If the harvest also decreases by 17 percent. 2a. How would you describe the supply of U.S. long grain rice (Elastic, Inelastic, Unit Elastic)? 2b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply of U.S.-produced long grain rice? 2c. If the price of long grain rice remains the same, do you think the elasticity of supply will change over the coming years?
