Demonstrate graphically how these events led to increases in oil prices in June 2004. What was the effect on the equilibrium quantity of oil bought and sold? b. As a result of political pressure, OPEC agreed to increase the daily quota by 2 million barrels a day. What was the likely effect on equilibrium oil price and quantity?

Suppose the government has instituted a price support program for beef by placing a price floor at $4.00 per pound. Under the program, any unsold beef will be purchased by the government and destroyed. Answer the following questions about the impacts of this program. Price ($/pound) $4- 3- 0 0.5 a. What is the cost to consumers in lost surplus? 1 b.

- Match the non-price determinates of supply with the change in supply. There is only 1 change in quantity supplied.arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardFor each of the following changes, determine whether there will be a movement along the demand/supply curve or a shift in the demand/supply curve. If there is a shift in the curve, indicate the direction of the shift. • an increase in the price of a complement in production • a decrease in tastes of consumers for a product • a decrease in the number of buyers in the market • a lowering of the product price • a worsening of business expectations • a decrease in government subsidies to firmsarrow_forward
- the need for oil, an input into gasoline, increased one year because of a severe winter. Many homes in the northeast heat their homes with oil. 2. Why would supply and demand theory suggest that price controls (to deal with the situation described in the previous question) have negative consequences? They are politically unpopular. They cause shortages of gasoline. They shift the demand for gasoline to the right because of a change in tastes. Both b) and c) are correct. а. b. С. d.arrow_forwardThe following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…arrow_forwardQUESTION 46 46.
