Question
consider the market for corn in August 2020, a period where grain prices were quite low and the market for corn was in a short-run equilibrium.
- Draw a graph that shows
supply and demand analysis for corn in August 2020 (put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis). This graph will serve as a starting point for your analysis in Questions 2 and 3.In drawing this graph, please assume that the demand curve is downward sloping and supply curve is upward sloping - Clearly show the
market equilibrium in August 2020. - Label the supply curve as S0; demand curve as D0; the
equilibrium price as P0; and equilibrium quantity as Q0.

- Draw and label a graph that depicts a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve in the market for sneakers. Assume that the market is initially in equilibrium Use the graph you drew to answer the previous question to show how a decrease in demand would cause a surplus in the market for sneakers. Explain how a decrease in price would eliminate the surplus The company started discounting more items... to deal with a continuing inventory glut... In the latest quarter sneaker revenue rose 5% from a year earlier... Holding everything else constant, if a decrease in the price of sneakers results in an increase in revenue from sales: (a) does this mean that the demand for sneakers is price-elastic or price-inelastic? (b) would the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for sneakers be less than or greater than +1.0? Briefly explain your answers. Nike is planning future price increases to offset rising costs of labor and other inputs it uses to produce…arrow_forwardTHIS IS FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC : 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. Suppose that more consumers prefer the disposable cell phone over the smart phone because the disposable cell phone is more durable than the smart phone. This latest news comes after the fact that firms that manufacture disposable cell phones have the latest technology integrated into their production facilities. What will be the market effect? Going back to question (d), suppose that the price of a disposable cell phone is now set at…arrow_forwardAn economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.arrow_forward
- QUESTION 1 Given a demand curve of P = 191 - 4Qd and supply of P = 61 + 1Qs, find the equilibrium price (Pe), AFTER lower input costs have shifted supply by 9 dollars.arrow_forwardIf the costs of producing tomatoes increase, what is the likely impact on the supply and demand graph? Group of answer choices -Demand shifts left -Supply shifts left -Demand shifts right -Supply shifts rightarrow_forwardThe market for gravel has the following demand and supply relationships: Supply function: Q = 100P - 1,000 Inverse demand function: P = 50 - 0.01*Q + PX, where P represents price of gravel per ton in dollars, Q represents sales of gravel per week in tons, and PX is the price of some other product X in dollars per unit. Let PX = $50/ton In a diagram, qualitatively describe the change that would occur in the market for gravel (i.e. equilibrium price and quantity) if a new discovery has just made the production of product X cheaper. Briefly explain whether it is a movement along or shift of demand curve and supply curve for gravel. In addition to the new discovery regarding product X in previous question), suppose now workers producing gravel ask for sick leave due to COVID. Use supply and demand analysis to predict how these two shocks will affect equilibrium price and sales. Illustrate your results in a diagram. Is there enough information to determine if market prices will rise or…arrow_forward
- The market for cake is shown with the following supply and demand function. Demand: Q = 7500 - 500P Supply: Q = -500 + 500P The market price needs to be above ____ before firms would begin start producing cake.arrow_forwardPrice si S2 C D2 D1 Quantity Which of the following would result in equilibrium shifting from point C to point A?arrow_forwardDemand conditions in the market change. So, now the equation system describing (in inverse form) demand and supply in this competitive market is: p = 52 - 0.5 q, p = 2 + 0.1 q.

- Please a detailed answer with a full explanation for the question below.arrow_forwardNext, complete the following graph 2 "not pictured", labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1 graph.arrow_forwardSuppose goods X and Y are complimentary products. Which of the following are correct with respect to the competitive market model of supply and demand? (check all that apply) an increase in the price of good Y will cause an increase in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y an increase in the price of good Y will cause a decrease in demand for good X and reduce the quantity demanded for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause a decrease in demand for good Y a decrease in the price of good X will increase the quantity demanded for good X and cause an increase in demand for good Yarrow_forward
