Q:
How does the equilibrium price of a product vary if the demand for this product does not change and at the same time the production costs increase?
Suppose the total demand for wheat and the total supply of wheat per month in the Kansas City grain market are as shown below: Why will $3.40 not be the equilibrium price in this market? Why not $4.90? “Surpluses drive prices up; shortages drive them down.” Do you agree?
Assume that the market for beef is perfectly competitive and in equilibrium. Which of the following would most likely result in an increase in both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity
of beef?
A
An increase in the supply of chicken, a substitute good
A decrease in consumers' income, assuming that beef is a normal good
An increase in the supply of potatoes, a complementary good
An increase in the price of corn, an input in the production of beef
(E
An announcement by the medical community that consumption of beef increases the risk of heart disease

- What is a relevant example of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Talk about the article and its findings, then include the URL.arrow_forwardThe figure shows three supply curves for wheat.

- Draw a graph to analyze the market for agricultural products (food). Label your price and quantity axes properly. In your graph, draw a supply curve for agricultural products (food) that obeys the law of supply. Label (S). In the same graph, draw a demand curve for food that obeys the law of demand. Label (D). Identify the market equilibrium point in your graph and label (E). Also, label the equilibrium price (PE) and the Equilibrium quantity (QE): 1.
