It takes a considerable amount of time to increase the production of pork. This implies that Multiple Choice O O a change in the demand for pork will not affect its price in the short run. the short-run supply curve for pork is relatively less elastic than the long-run supply curve for pork. an increase in the demand for pork will elicit a larger supply response in the short run than in the long run. the long-run supply curve for pork is relatively less elastic than the short-run supply curve for pork.

1. Optimal choice of capital Eleanor makes sweaters in her home. Starting with just some knitting needles and yarn, she was able to knit 60 sweaters per year. Now some local stores have expressed interest in her designs and offered to buy her sweaters for $10 each. This makes it worthwhile for her to invest in some capital; in particular, she could produce many more sweaters if she invested in one or more looms, as shown in the following table. Assume that Eleanor's sweater business is a perfectly competitive firm. Complete the following table by calculating the marginal physical product (MPP) of each loom and the marginal revenue product (MRP) of each loom. Quantity of Input (Looms) Output (Sweaters per year) MPP of Each Loom (Sweaters) MRP of Each Loom (Dollars) 0 1 2 3 4 5 60 110 150 184 213 238 50 40 34 29 25 If the rental price of a loom is $270 per year, Eleanor should use 500 400 340 290 250 Suppose the demand for sweaters is very elastic, while the demand for cigarettes is very…

If the demand curve moves to the right as the supply curve also moves to the right( at the same time), then a) Equilibrium price must increase, but equilibrium  quantity may either rise, fall or remain unchanged. b)Equilibrium price and quanity must both go down c) The Equilibrium price may either rise, fall or remain unchanged, but the equilibrium quanity must increase.  d) Equailibrium price and quanity must both go up. e) none of the above

Blue Co. makes a processor that requires a metal that can only be found in a single mine in Peru. Do you expect the price elasticity of supply for this processor to be elastic or inelastic? Explain in 1-4 sentences.

What is the direction of a perfectly inelastic supply curve? vertical upward sloping to the right horizontal O downward sloping to the left

The textbook discusses several things that determine how price elastic the supply of a good or service is. These are known as the determinants of the price elasticity of supply. Changes in these determinants can cause the elasticity of supply to change. The figure below shows a supply curve that starts out perfectly inelastic at S, and then becomes more elastic as it moves to S,, and then to S3. Which of the determinants of the elasticity of supply could this graph be representing? S. Price Quantity Determinant Represented by the Graph Drag appropriate answer(s) here time and the adjustment process %23 the flexibility of buyers change in income the flexibility of producers Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not a Determinant Represented by the Graph

P $12 $9 $3 O equal to O greater than Q** O less than Q not comparable to S+T The figure above shows the market for pies. According to the graph above, the price elasticity of demand is the price elasticity of supply. S D Q 1

Why is the supply curve upward sloping for a particular good? Higher prices of the good make the good less profitable O Higher prices of the good incentivize firms to produce more of the good Higher prices of the good increase wages Higher prices of the good increase the demand for the good

Suppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic  and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper  to be than the daily supply curve.

A manufacturer of shirts sells the exact same shirt in two different colors: black and white. The cost of producing each shirt is the same. Black and white shirts are substitutes in production. If the selling price of the black shirt increases, the supply of white shirts will , and the supply curve of the white shirts will shift O decrease, left O decrease, right increase, right increase, left
