Refer to the figure below, which shows the market for a specific good. What will be the result if the producer prices this product at $70? Price $100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity per period Select one: There will be an upward pressure on the price b. The consumers plan to buy 70 units There will be a shortage of 40 units d. 50 units will be bought and sold None of the above O e. a.

Step 1: Fill in the appropriate values for original quantity, new quantity, original price, and new price. Step 2: Calculate the average quantity by adding the original quantity and the new quantity, and then dividing by two. Do the same for the average price. Step 3: Calculate the change in quantity by subtracting the original quantity from the new quantity. Do the same for the change in price. Step 4: Calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded by dividing the change in quantity by the average quantity. Do the same to calculate the percentage change in price. Step 5: Calculate the price elasticity of demand by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price, ignoring the negative sign.   Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of demand for headsets is about (.44/1.14/2.28/4.56)

What would cause an increase in quantity demanded?

Combine parts 1 and 2. Suppose that the FDA increase regulation of coffee, and a reputable study is published indicating that coffee drinkers have higher rates of Alzheimer’s. What with the combined impact have on the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show graphically. Make sure you think this through carefully!

Which of the following is one of the factors determining if demand for a good is price elastic or price inelastic? Select one: a. The cost of the resources used in producing the good. b. The relative share of the budget spent on the good. c. Whether the good is a substitute or a complement. d. Whether the good is imported or exported.

Draw a demand and supply graph, label all axes, and the equilibrium price and quantity. Once you have done this draw what would happen if there was a decrease in the number of buyers in the market

In this market there will be an excess supply of 1000 gardenburgers at a price of 2. If the price per garden burger is $6 there is a

Price Refer to the below diagram, which shows demand and supply conditions in the competitive market for product X. A shift in the demand curve from D, to Do might be caused by B C Quantity O a decline in the number of buyers in the market. a decline in the price of a substitute good. an increase in incomes if the product is a normal good. an increase in incomes if the product is an inferior good.

Consider the weekly supply of gasoline in Figure 1. How much gasoline will producers wish to sell if the price of a gallon of gasoline is $1.20?       A) 100K gallons       b) 140K gallons       C) 236K gallons       D) 308K gallons

The task I am struggling with. Thank you.
