Consider the following scenarios. Think about how each scenario would affect the price of khaki pants. A new technology reduces the time it takes to make a pair of khaki pants. The price of the cloth used to make khaki pants falls. The wage rate paid to garment workers increases. The price of jeans increases. People's incomes increase. Assignment:    Address the following statements related to the scenario above.    Does each event change demand, supply, both, or neither? Explain your choice. Does the event increase or decrease demand and/or supply? Explain your answer. How does this change in demand and/or supply affect the equilibrium prices and quantity within the market? Part 2  Compare the new demand curve or supply curve by drawing it on a graph Find the new equilibrium and compare it with the original one in terms of equilibrium price and quantity and explain your findings

Listed below are several items which would affect the market for personal computers. For each event, do the following: 1) Tell whether the event shifts demand or supply, 2) tell whether the curve increases or decreases, and 3) report the predicted change in price and quantity of personal computers. a) A fall in the price of software b) A government subsidy to computer makers c) A decrease in consumers' income due to a recession d) An increase in the price of silicon (used in making all kinds of computer chips like CPU's, memory chips, etc.).

Demand and supply often shift in the retail market for gasoline. Here are two demand curves and two supply curves for gallons of gasoline in the month of May in a small town in Maine. Some of the data are missing.Using the table, answer the following questions:                                              Quantities Demanded                                 Quantities Supplied Price D1 D2 S1 S2 $7.00 5,000 7,500 9,000 9,500   6,000 8,000 8,000 9,000  5.00   8,500   8,500     9,000 5,000   Use the following facts to fill in the missing data in the table. If demand is D1 and supply is S1, the equilibrium quantity is 7,000 gallons per month. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, the equilibrium price is $6.00 per gallon. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, there is an excess demand of 4,000 gallons per month at a price of $4.00 per gallon. If demand is D1 and supply is S2, the equilibrium quantity is 8,000 gallons per month.  b. Compare the two equilibriums: In the first,…

Identify the flaw in this analysis: “If more Bahamians go on a low-carb diet, the demand for pasta will fall. The decrease in the demand for pasta will cause the price of pasta to fall. The lower price, however, will then increase the demand. In the new equilibrium, Americans might end up consuming more pasta than they did initially.”
