5.01 EC11_Effect on Supply and Demand WS VPN 11% Done EFFECTS ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND Directions: Event #1: Listed below are 10 events which could have some influence on the supply and demand of a product. On a clean sheet of paper, clearly label each event and record your answers. Read each of these events, and decide which factors that affect either consumers or sellers (utility, buying power, price of other goods and services, consumers, cost of production, number of producers, future prices, disasters and emergencies, government, or technology) (use I for each "event") are represented. You will also need to identify which group (consumers or sellers) it would influence. Event #2: A company introduces a new product intended to help college students improve their ability to take tests. The corn crop in one state was damaged by heavy rains and floods. Event #3: One pair of jeans looks the same as another pair but costs much less. Event #4: A candy manufacturer gives large pay increases…
In the aftermath of the devastating hurricane Sandy in the Northeast and Jersey Shore, prices of certain goods had risen dramatically. Some people had objected to these price increases, and called for the government to forbid sellers from charging such high prices. This exercise asks you to apply economic principles in explaining why prices tend to rise, and what consequences would result from forbidding sellers from raising prices. We will consider the case of bottled fresh water being available for sale in supermarkets. 1) Draw a graph showing the equilibrium price for the pre-hurricane demand for and supply of bottled water that currently existed in the market place. (label the current equilibrium price as p1 on the price axis, and the quantity as q1 on the quantity axis. Now suppose that the hurricane hits. One effect is to hinder delivery trucks from bringing as much water as before and the need for additional water supplies, so the supply of and demand for bottled water will be…
Explain the difference between a positive and a negative network externality. A network externality for a good is positive if O A. the substitution effect of a price change is larger than the income effect, but a network externality is negative if the income effect is larger than the substitution effect. B. consumption by others decreases a typical consumer's marginal utility from consuming the good, but a network extemality is negative if consumption by others increases a typical consumer's marginal utility from the good. c. the price is lower the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the price is lower the fewer people own it. D. the quantity demanded is higher the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the quantity demanded is lower the more people own it. O E. it has a complement, but a network effect is negative if it has a substitute. Give an example of each. An example of a positive network externality is the dermand for A. a work of…
If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit

I. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.
01. Suppose there is only 1 product in the economy and that's Pizza, whoever wants to pay for pizza can be able to enjoy pizza. There two people Chris and Phill. Both are willing to pay 150$ for this pizza, but with this amount Chris wants to have 2 pizzas whilst Phill wants to have 3 pizzas. Being a pizza supplier by which method you can determine their demands for pizza and how can you ensure the market equilibrium. Support your answer with graph(s).
