Consider the following events that affect the market for oranges in the US. Suppose that both of these following events occur simultaneously: (i) the price of Apples (which is assumed as the perfect substitute for oranges) decreases; and (ii) bad weather and droughts that reduce the harvest of oranges by 60%. Based on the two scenarios provided, what would happen to the market for oranges in the US: O a. The equilibrium price of oranges could either increase or decrease, but equilibrium quantity will definitely increase. O b. The equilibrium quantity of oranges could either increase or decrease, but equilibrium price will definitely increase. O c. The equilibrium quantity of oranges could either increase or decrease, but equilibrium price will definitely decrease. O d. The equilibrium price of oranges could either increase or decrease, but equilibrium quantity will definitely decrease.

The opportunity cost of a hotdog in terms of hamburgers is O the ratio of the price of a hotdog to the price of a hamburger. O the price of a hot dog minus the price of a hamburger. O the ratio of the slope of the demand curve for hot dogs to the slope of the demand curve for hamburgers. the ratio of the slope of the supply curve for hot dogs to the slope of the supply curve for hamburgers.
. Individual and market demand Suppose that Eric and Ginny are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly demand schedules: Price Eric’s Quantity Demanded Ginny’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per slice) (Slices) (Slices) 1 6 16 2 3 12 3 2 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Eric’s demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Ginny’s demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. ( the graph has attached as an image)

1. Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. a. Discuss the impact of the good harvest on each of the three markets. b. Discuss the effect on the markets for each of the three products if the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. c. How will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?

Oc. when a determinant of the supply of microwave ovens other than the price of microwave ovens changes. O d. when any determinant of the supply of microwave ovens changes. O e. Only if the price of steel increases.
