Supply and Demand: Suppose that the demand curve for asparagus is P = 15 − 2 × Q and the supply curve for asparagus is P = 3 + 2 × Q. (a) On the graph below, draw the supply and demand curves and show the equilibrium point. Also, find the equilibrium price and quantity (draw them on the graph). (b) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. (c) Suppose that there is a drought and the supply of asparagus falls. On the graph below, show how this will effect the equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the economy will move to the new equilibrium.

You own Naughty Pine lumber and sell fence panels in a competitive market. Right now, your selling price is $130 for a fence panel, and you sell 8 panels a day. You are considering changing your price. You estimate that if you raise your price to $152 a panel, you would sell 7 panels a day. On the other hand, if you lower your price to $108 a panel, you would sell 12 panels a day. (a) Draw a graph of the above information. Label your axes, and the curve. Be sure your work is clear. (b) Use the MIDPOINT FORMULA to calculate Ed over the ranges below. Use TWO decimals in your answers. (i)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $152 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $152 a panel (ii)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $108 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $108 a panel Should you keep your current price, or raise the price, or lower the price?
The figure shows the supply and demand for online music. Suppose that an economic downturn decreases household wealth and erodes consumer confidence. Move the supply and/or demand curves to reflect the primary effect this would have on the market for online music. You can assume that online music is a normal good. Also select the end result of equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price Equilibrium quantity Price ($ per track) Quantity (number of tracks) Supply Demand

Question 1 Suppose that the demand for toy drums is described by the equation QD = 300 - 5p, and supply is QS = 60 + 3p, (1) What are the equilibrium price and quantity? (2) If a decrease in consumer income shifted the demand curve to QD’ = 220 - 5p, how does this change affect the equilibrium price and quantity? Show the solutions using a graph and calculate the numerical answer.
Suppose the coffee market in the US is given by the following equations for supply and demand: Qs = 9+0.5p Qp = 12 – p where Q is the quantity in millions of tons per year and p is the price per pound.
