- Determine the equilibrium price and quantity for the following laws of demand and supply in the manufacture of computer parts Demand: 3p + 5x = 200Bid: 7p - 3x = 56arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the market for roses in 2008. Between 2008 and 2009, the equilibrium price of roses remained constant, but the equilibrium quantity of roses increased. From this, you can conclude that between 2008 and 2009, the supply of roses demand for roses Adjust the graph to illustrate your answer by showing the positions of the supply and demand curves in 2009. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Instructions: Depict how this event will affect the market for oranges by dragging the appropriate curve in the graph. Price (S/orange) Ž I Market for oranges Quantity (oranges/week) $ What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of oranges? ↑ Equilibrium price will decrease and equilibrium quantity will increase. Equilibrium price will increase and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will decrease. Both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity will increase.arrow_forward
- For each of the following changes in the demand or supply curves in the automobile market below, draw a graph showing the old demand and supply curves as well as the new demand or supply curve (whichever shifts). Also, show how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity change. Show work on 3 different graphs. The income of consumers rises and automobiles are considered a normal good. Over time, and due to new resource discoveries, gasoline prices fall. The availability and price of public transportation falls.arrow_forwardPlease provide an explanation so I can do it my own.

- Consider the market for laptop computers. Click on the graph to the right to determine how the following event will impact this market. Do this by illustrating the event on the graph and then assess its impact on the equilibrium quantity and the market price Event: The price of memory chips used in laptop computers declines. OA. The supply increases, causing the equilibrium quantity to rise and the market price to fall. OB. The supply increases, causing the equilibrium quantity to fall and the market price to rise. OC. The supply decreases, causing the equilibrium quantity to fall and the market price to rise. OD. The quantity supplied increases, causing the equilibrium quantity to rise and the market price to fall.

This resonated with the online community and kicked off a challenge to reproduce the scene using the same drink. Use the Four-Step method and draw a supply/demand graph to predict the effect on equilibrium price and quantity for OceanSpray. Clearly label your graph and upload it to the dropbox labeled (you may draw it on paper and take a picture, or use some other software).arrow_forwardMarket in equilibrium: consider a market for smartphones where the equilibrium price (P*) is $600 per phone, and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) is 100,000 phones per month draw the initial supply and demand graph. qor Q Events: Due to a global shortage of microchips, the cost of producing smartphones increases significantly. Additionally, a new study reveals that smartphone usage can lead to improved cognitive abilities, leading to an increased demand for smartphones. Explain how both the supply and demand curves would be affected. Draw the new supply and demand curves on your graph (in red) and predict the changes in equilibrium price and quantity.

- The following graph shows the monthly demand and supply curves in the market for hats. (graph in image) The equilibrium price in this market is $______ per hat, and the equilibrium quantity is ___ hats bought and sold per month. Complete the following table by indicating at each price whether there is a shortage or surplus in the market, the amount of that shortage or surplus, and whether this places upward or downward pressure on prices. Price Shortage or Surplus Shortage or Surplus Amount Pressure 60 40arrow_forwardOver 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_forwardThe island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water.
