I recently stumbled upon the following quote in a newspaper: "Increased production (i.e. an increase in supply) leads to a lower price; which in turn, increases demand." Do you agree with such reasoning? Briefly explain.

The 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. PRICE (Dollars per rose) QUANTITY (Roses) Supply Demand Demand and the Supply

The federal government changes its bank regulations in a way that makes it cheaper and easier for banks to make home loans. Which curve will shift: supply or demand? In which direction will the curve shift: right or left? Briefly explain why this scenario caused this curve shift. What will happen to equilibrium price? What will happen to equilibrium quantity?

The following are fictitious headlines about the pecan market. In each case decide if the information will cause a change in the current market supply for U.S. Pecans sold worldwide. If so, decide if it is an increase (right shift) or a decrease (left shift) and write that next to the question. Then write the determinant of supply and a short explanation. Then draw a graph to show the shift. When you are done submit the assignment to the unit 2: supply dropbox. 5. U.S. farmers start cutting down their pecan groves to make more land available to plant more profitable crops. 6. The price of pecan shelling machines rises dramatically. 7. Price of pecans falls as more consumers begin craving hazelnuts 8. Scientists successfully produce genetically modified pecan trees that can produce twice as many pecans per tree. 9. Engineers develop machines that shake nuts from the trees at harvest and sweep them off the ground. 10. The U.S. government provides subsidies to pecan producers because…
