A supply curve for tomato production is given by Q = 35P - 5. Something causes the supply curve to change to Q = 35P -10. This is most consistent with: Increase in imports of tomatoes from Italy Decrease in the opportunity cost of growing zucchini Better production technology to grow tomatoes A government policy that prohibits new tomato farms Reductions in wages of tomato harvesters

Market for ABC company’s clothing ABC clothing company produces clothing that is sold online and in catalogs, which is catered to a lower income consumer. Suppose the company’s demand curve for 2019 was the following: Qd = 2000 – 150P +1.1A + 15PDEF And the company’s supply curve was Qs = 250 + 5P, where Qd is the quantity of product demanded for ABC company clothing P = the average price of goods produced by ABC company A = Advertising expenditures in dollars PDEF = the average price of DEF clothing, a competitor’s clothing, in dollars Qs is the quantity of product supplied for ABC company’s clothing Calculate the price elasticity of demand for good ABD. Based on your answer, if the company increases prices, what will happen to total revenue?
The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?
The demand curve for rooms at a hotel in Oakland is given by PD = 250 - 1.5*QD. The supply curve of rooms for the same hotel in Oakland is given by Ps = 45 + Qs. The equilibrium quantity is rooms and the equilibrium price is $.
Suppose the demand curve for cars in former Czechoslovakia was characterized by the equation QD = 2000 − 40P , and the supply curve QS = 20P − 400.
Suppose the supply of apple pickers in Southwest Michigan can be expressed by the equation Qs=2/15(W-10) . An apple farmer advertises a wage of $100 per day to pick apples; however, when the day of the harvest arrives the farmer tells those assembled at the orchard that only 10 pickers are needed, and, as more than 10 pickers showed up looking for work, the wage will fall to the equilibrium. How many pickers showed up to work the apple harvest? What is the equilibrium wage offered by the farmer? Graph the supply of and demand for labor at the orchard, indicating the equilibrium price. Calculate the pickers’ total producer surplus, including the surplus lost by the pickers who were available to work but were not hired.
