Coffee and tea are substitutes. Suppose a typhoon destroys half the tea trees of a country, but does not impact the supply of coffee since coffee is imported from a foreign country. [ What happens to the price and quantity of tea? Use a labeled diagram to answer the question. b. a. C. Suppose the price of tea rises from RMB 200 Yuan per pound to RMB300 Yuan per pound, and consumers' purchases of tea reduced from 100,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds. Calculate the price elasticity of demand of tea (using the midpoint method). Does consumers' total expenditure on tea increase or decrease? How is this change related to the nature of the price elasticity of demand of tea?

8. Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph plots the market for scones in Denver, where there are always over 1,000 bakeries. Suppose the municipal government, in an attempt to increase the local tax base, issues $1,000 vouchers to each household that moves to Denver. As a result, many new families move into the city. Show the effect of this change on the market for scones by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per scone) QUANTITY (Scones) Supply Demand Demand Supply ? Now suppose Congress passes a tax cut that increases the income of Denver residents. If scones are a normal good, this will cause the demand for scones to increase
Need help with these graphs. Please show me how to do it and if you can please draw them to show where to move them.
In the market for fiction books, the price of a fiction book falls and nothing else changes. Show the effect in the graph. Draw either a new supply curve or an arrow along the curve showing the direction of change. Price (dollars per fiction book) 120.00 90.00 60.00- When the price of a fiction book falls and nothing else changes, O A. the supply of fiction books decreases and the quantity of fiction books supplied also decreases 30.00 O B. the supply of fiction books increases and the quantity of fiction books supplied does not change Oc. the supply of fiction books increases and the quantity of fiction books supplied also increases 0.00- Quantity (millions of fiction books per year) O D. the quantity of fiction books supplied changes and supply does not change >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question
During the spring when demand for lobster is relatively low, Maine lobster fishermen are able to sell their lobster catches for about $4.50 per pound. During the summer when demand for lobster is much higher, Maine lobster fishermen are able to sell their lobster catches for only about $3.00 per pound. It may seem strange that the market price is higher when demand is low than when demand is high. Can you resolve this paradox with the help of a demand and supply graph? [You can attach your graph to your posting.] Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely.

5:26 1 Blackboard EDIT Q2: The following problems are based on the demand and supply schedule for gum listed below. All quantities are in millions of packs of gum per month. Price |Quantity Demanded |Quantity Supplied $0.20 180 30 $030 160 60 $0.40 140 90 $0.50 120 120 $0.60 100 140 $0.70 80 160 $0.80 60 180 a) Suppose that the quantity demanded rises by 40 million packs of gum per month at each price. b) Draw the initial demand and supply curves as given by the table above. Call this graph Graph 1. Label this demand curve D1, and this supply curve S1. Draw the new demand curve given by this change, labeling it D2. Show the new equilibrium price and output, labeling this point A. c) Suppose that the quantity supplied rises by 50 million packs per month at each price, while the quantities demanded retain their D1 values. On a new graph (labeled as Graph 2), draw D1, S1, and the new supply curve, S2. Show the new equilibrium output and price, labeling this point C.
8. Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph plots the market for electric guitars in Chicago, where there are always over 1,000 music stores. Suppose the price of acoustic guitars decreases. (Assume that people regard electric guitars and acoustic guitars as substitutes.) Show the effect of this change on the market for electric guitars by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per guitar) QUANTITY (Guitars) Supply Demand Demand Supply ? Now suppose Congress passes a new tax that decreases the income of Chicago reside If electric guitars are a normal good, this will cause the demand for electric guitars to decrease increase
6. Individual and market supply Suppose that Sam and Teresa are the only suppliers of boots in some hypothetical market. Their annual supply schedules are given by the following table: Price (Dollars per pair) 10 20 30 40 50 Sam's Quantity Supplied (Pairs) 0 16 24 28 32 Teresa's Quantity Supplied (Pairs) 16 32 44 52 56
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, in early 2017, President Donald Trump was considering whether to reverse a requirement by the Environmental Protection Agency that oil refiners increase the amount of ethanol they blend with gasoline. If the requirement were to remain, the result would be an increase in demand for ethanol, which is made from corn. Many U.S. farmers can use the same acreage to grow either corn or soybeans. Use TWO SEPARATE demand and supply graphs to analyze the effect on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of CORN and Soybeans resulting from an increase in demand for ethanol Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Suppose that the demand and supply of liter of petrol are given in table 1 below: Price (RM) Quantity demanded (liter per day) Quantity supplied (liter per day) 0.80 8 24 0.75 10 22 0.70 12 20 0.65 14 18 0.60 16 16 0.55 18 14 Table 1 What is the equilibrium price and quantity of petrol, use a graph paper to draw a demand curve and supply curve based on the table
Suppose a decrease in the world demand for desktop computers causes the price of desktop computers to fall from $600 to $500. Before the fall in demand, Juna, a local computer dealer in Japan, used to produce 9,000 desktop computers and exported 50 percent of it to other countries every week. However, after the fall in demand, Juna reduced its production to 8,000 units and exports only 40 percent of its total output.a. What are the changes in the quantity sold to domestic consumersb. What are the changes in the consumer surplus?c. Sketch a diagram to illustrate the changes for Juna.
When the price of butter was "low," consumers spent $5 billion annually on its consumption. When the price doubled, consumer expenditures increased to $7 billion. Recently you read that this means that the demand curve for butter is upward sloping (i. e., price and quantity demanded are directly related, as price increases, quantity demanded also increases). Do you agree? Explain.
