If there is a decrease in supply resulting in a new market equilibrium, will the amount of consumer surplus increase, decrease, or remain unchanged relative to the amount of consumer surplus found at the initial market equilibrium?arrow_forwardSuppose the market supply curve is given by: Q=2P-4 and market demand by: 2-2 1-1. a) What is the value of Q when the market is equilibrium? Enter a number. b) P as a function of Q, i.e. find the inverse demand function. Your answer should be an algebraic expression in terms of Q without any decimals. Use a capital Q for Q and do not write "P="; just enter an expression in terms of Q. P= The variables found in your answer should be: [Q] c) Find the value of the consumer surplus when the market is equilibrium. Enter an algebraic expression, such as 3*In(4)-In(2)-8, rather than a decimal.arrow_forward
- Suppose a market with two customers. Their demands are specified by: Q1 = 100 - 2P and Q2 = 150 - 3P. The market supply equations is: Supply: Qs = 9P. What is the equilibrium quantity in the market?arrow_forwardBrick and mortar retail stores were particularly hard hit by the pandemic and several large chains went bankrupt. Others survived by developing or switching to online sales platforms and developing systems like a curbside pickup. Using the lessons of supply and demand analysis, and in particular, the discussion of demand and supply shifters, answer the following and explain your answer: 1) Do these innovations affect supply or demand, imposing the â€all else constant†assumption (the only one can be affected). 2) Identify the shifter. 3) Which direction does the curve you identified shift and why? 4) Describe what happens to price and quantity at the new equilibrium.arrow_forwardwhich is correctarrow_forward
- Provide a definition of each of the following, and the required example, explanation, or graph. A Production Possibility Curve, a definition and a graph showingan increasing opportunity cost of producing Product A as a company produces more of Product B. Changes in quantity demanded vs. changes in market demand (the definition of each and a single graph showing each change). A shift in the market supply curve (definition and graph).arrow_forwardAssume that the resource market is purely competitive. If the price of the resource falls, other factors constant, then a firm that sells its product in a purely competitive market will Multiple Choice increase production by a larger amount than a firm with some monopoly power in its product market. increase production by a smaller amount than a firm with some monopoly power in its product market. decrease production by a larger amount than a firm with some monopoly power in its product market. decrease production by a smaller amount than a firm with some monopoly power in its product market.arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forward
- A: Decide whether each of the following statement is TRUE or FALSE, and explain the reason for your justification and correct the false statements: A firm is adopting a new technology in the production of its good. We should expect that demand for this good will shift to the right.arrow_forwardThe competitive market for Botox procedures is characterized by the following supply and demand curves: QS = −2,000 + 10P and QD = 24,000 −16P where P is the price of the procedure and QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. a: Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price in the Botox market.b: Neatly graph the market for Botox procedures, showing the vertical intercepts of the supplyand demand curves. Show the equilibrium.arrow_forwardTHIS IS FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC CLASS Question (2): The market for disposable cell phones: Q = 2300 – 16p and Q = 1850 + 14p. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Suppose that a new technology has emerged that will enable firms to mass produce the cell phones at a reduced cost. Which curve will be affected and what will be the general outcome? Going back to question (b), if the new equilibrium price of a disposable cell phone is $11.25, how many disposable cell phones will be demanded by consumers? Derive the new function based on your analysis.arrow_forward
