Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Please provide diagram

Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice…
Assume the Witcher video games only have Nintendo switch versions. CD Projekt Red announces the highly anticipated Witcher 4 game will be released next month. No new Nintendo switches are available for the next 6 months due to covid related supply issues. What will the impact of this announcement be on the market for USED Nintendo switches? Explain by Microeconomics only. (i.e. quantity demand, supply; demand curve)
The following chart tells you the willingness to pay (WTP) for generic and custom refrigerators for three types and the number of each type on your market. Each refrigerator costs $200 to make the generic and $250 to make the custom. High Value Medium Value Low Value #of each type 20 30 30 Value for generic 600 500 175 Total value for Custom 750 575 200 If you were only to sell the generic refrigerator, what price should you set? If you were to sell both refrigerator types, what price should you set for the custom refrigerator?
As more and more people bought home computers during the 1990s, the demand for access to the World Wide Web and the Internet increased sharply. At same time, new companies like Earl's began to enter the internet-access market competing with older, more established services such as American Online. Despite a massive increase in demand, the price of access to the Web actually declined. Change in demand? Change in supply? Change in market equilibrium price? Change in market equilibrium quantity?Graph?
PA #1: Africa Apricots & The Apricot ValleyTwo apricot orchards African Apricots and The Apricot Valley sell seasonal apricots to the market. Assume that those apricots are both grown using the same organic practices in the neighboring orchards and do not differ in taste, size, color, or any other characteristics.The market demand is described by the following function: P=AB-Q. P is the price given per one bushel of apricots (a variable), Q is the quantity demanded at each price (a variable). Assume that both orchards have marginal costs that equal C $/bushel. A=1, B=9, and C=3 are the integer numbers given to you. 1.1. Write down the Demand function substituting A, B, and C with the given integer numbers. 1.2.

The food and feed demand curves used in the Application "Summing the Corn Demand Curves," were estimated by McPhail and Babcock (2012) to be Qfood = 1,487-22.1p and Qfeed = 6,247.5-226.7p, respectively, where Q is measured in billions of bushels of corn per year. Mathematically derive the total demand curve, which the application's figure illustrates. (Hint: Remember that the demand curve for feed is zero at prices above about $27.56 per bushel.) The total demand curve is (enter your responses rounded to one decimal place): Q=-p for p≥ $27.56 per bushel and Q = -p for p <$27.56 per bushel.
1. Congratulations, you've been hired as a market analyst for the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP) and you will be responsible for monitoring the market for maple syrup. The market can be described by the following calibrated demand and supply functions: Qd = 1180-20P +2P, (1) (2) Qs = 50P-200 where P is the price of a 16oz bottle of syrup, Pį is the price for a bottle of maple flavored corn syrup, and Qd and Q, are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied of maple syrup. (a) How much maple syrup should the QMSP be prepared to give away if they decided to give maple syrup to everyone who wants it free of charge as a marketing ploy? (Hint: your answer will depend on Pt) Find the inverse demand and inverse supply equations. Determine the highest price at which suppliers would not be willing to sell any syrup. (b) Assuming that P, = 10, graph (inverse) supply and (inverse) demand for the market with a clearly labeled graph and calculate the equilibrium price (P*)…
Carefully explain what is happening in the following market. Indicate the impact if any on demand, supply, price and quality. In the market for airline tickets, airline carriers have drastically cut fares for international air trave resulting in 3% increase in ticket sales. meanwhile, recent health considerations due to COVID-19 have caused an 11% reduction in the demand for international travel Impact on supply impact on price impact on quantity impact on demand
Consider a market for Tea a normal good in Karachi. You are supposed to analyze and discuss the effect on the equilibrium output and the price in the Tea market in Karachi for the October, 2020 after the following changes (Other things held constant). In each case, explain your answer using supply and demand diagram. There has been a decrease in people’s income and a rise in the price of sugar (an input for making Tea) in Pakistan during 2020 due to COVID-19 crisis simultaneously. Price of the coffee falls in the month of October 2020 in Karachi.
