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?

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.

Consider the market for wine in the diagram below: 70 Price ($) 60 50 40 30 20 10 S D 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Wine (millions of bottles) $45 and 550 million bottles of wine $45 and 500 million bottles of wine $50 and 600 million bottles of wine $50 and 500 million bottles of wine Suppose supply shifts to the right by 100 million bottles of wine. What would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of wine as a result of this increase in supply?
In this question, you'll explore the effect of a plentiful crop in Vermont on the price of blueberries in the United States, as well as on the daily wages of blueberry pickers in Florida. Assume that blueberry buyers don't care whether their blueberries come from Vermont or Florida. On the following graph, show the effect the plentiful crop in Vermont has on the market for blueberries in the United States by shifting either the demand curve, the supply curve, or both. PRICE (Dollars per pint) 10 fall 9 WAGE (Dollars per worker) 8 7 2 + 1 0 + 0 Market for Blueberries in the United States Supply Demand 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 QUANTITY (Millions of pints of blueberries) Based on the graph for the market for blueberries in the United States, the plentiful crop has caused the price of blueberries in the United States to wing graph shows the daily market for blueberry pickers in Florida.

Nowadays, we can choose either a laptop computer or a tablet to be a portable electronic device. Recently, the consumers of those electronics devices find that the price of tablets increases sharply. What are the effects on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the market of laptop computers? No diagram is needed but you need to describe how the curve(s) shifts in your written explanation.
Consider the market for pens. Suppose that new medical concerns regarding graphite absorption have put pressure on schools to reduce pencil use in favor of pens. Further, the price of plastic, a major input in the pen production process, has dropped sharply. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. 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 pen) 10 Supply 8 7 X Demand 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 3 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) 9 1 0 10 Scenario 1 0 1 Scenario 2 9 Supply 8 7 X Demand 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) 1 0 Next, complete the following graph, labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1 graph. Demand 0 Supply Demand Supply ?
Suppose the price of apples (a complement to peanut butter) rises. At the same time, suppose the price of peanuts (which are used to make peanut butter) falls. Given these changes, you should expect to see: a decrease in the equilibrium price of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium quantity. an increase in both the equilibrium price and quantity of peanut butter. an increase in the equilibrium quantity of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium price. an increase in the equilibrium price of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium quantity.
What are the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of chocolate if information becomes available that eating chocolate makes your hair fall out and at the same time the price of sugar that is needed to make chocolate reduces by 10 percent? Clearly state the effect on demand and supply and whether equilibrium price and/or quantity have increased, decreased or whether the outcome is uncertain.
