- Over the past 20 years, the average price of avocados has more than doubled. Assume that the price of avocados is determined by the forces of supply and demand. Using concepts that you have learned about supply and demand, explain whether the following is or is not a cause of the increase in price of avocado. Restrictions on imports of avocados from Mexico were gradually lifted. Improved production methods allowed for slower ripening of avocados and therefore more avocados can be reliably shipped. Mexican food, which regularly features avocados, has become more popular.arrow_forwardSuppose we are analyzing the market for hot chocolate. During this winter season the following two events occurred simultaneously. Explain using the demand and supply curves how these twoevents affect the price and quantity of the hot chocolate.

At the same time, suppose the price of peanuts (which are used to make peanut butter) falls. Given these changes, you should expect to see: a decrease in the equilibrium price of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium quantity. an increase in both the equilibrium price and quantity of peanut butter. an increase in the equilibrium quantity of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium price. an increase in the equilibrium price of peanut butter, but it's hard to say what will happen to the equilibrium quantity.arrow_forward

What examples do you have of resources your workplace (or another workplace) buys in resource markets?arrow_forwardIf television sellers expect the prices of televisions to fall in the future, we are likely to see the price:arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the demand curve for uff, a useful commodity produced on the planet Hermes. The Hermetian currency is the yen. The graph input tool also shows how demand for uff is affected by changes in the average income of Hermetians, as well as the prices of tulg and snick, two other related goods available on the planet. Suppose that the price of a gram of uff decreased from 50 yen to 45 yen. This would cause a movement along the demand curve and therefore an increase in the quantity of uff demanded. Plug any value lower than the current number into the Average Income box. A decrease in average income causes a leftward shift of the demand curve. When the prices of tulg or snick change, there is a shift of the demand curve for uff. The directions of these changes imply that snick and uff are __________ (options: substitutes, normally consumed together), and that tulg and uff are _______ (substitutes, normally consumed together). For example, a Hermetian might say, “I…arrow_forward
