Suppose that the perfectly competitive chicken industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $3 per kilogram of chicken and a quantity of 600 million kilograms per year. Suppose Health Canada issues a report saying that eating chicken is bad for your health. Health Canada's report will cause consumers to demand chicken at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the supply curve, the demand curve, or both on the following diagram to illustrate these short-run effects of Health Canada's announcement. 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 Supply Demand Supply Demand PRICE (Dellars per kilogram) QUANTITY Millions of kilograms M

Imagine a new company enters a market selling tutoring. The firm does some experimentation in the market, and it reports the following data points. At $75 per student, 2,250 students sign up for tutoring. At $30 per student, 9,000 students sign up. At $150 per student, no students sign up. 1.Write the equation representing this demand curve. 2. Relax the assumption that demand is linear; instead, assume only that the law of demand holds. Given this assumption and the data you observe, what can we say about the number of students who sign up at prices greater than $75? The school’s accountants determine that when the price per student is $15 it can supply 1,500 spots for tutoring, and that when the price is $45, it can supply 7,500. 3.Relax the assumption that supply is linear; instead, assume only that the law of supply holds. Given this assumption and the data you observe, what can we say about the number of student slots the school supplies at prices greater than $400? 4.Find the…
6. A record company estimates the industry demand for "hard alternative rock" albums to be: QD-1000 -125 P. It estimates the industry supply to be: QS = 125-P a. Given these estimates, what does it expect the industry output and price to be? b. A government commission announces that lyrics on "hard alternative rock" albums are offensive and should be banned. This causes consumers to purchase 20% more of such albums at any given price, compared to question 6a. What effect will this have on industry output and the price? c. Calculate the consumer surplus for parts a and b above. Are consumers better or worse off given the commission's recommendation?
Charles's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Charles produced five fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to six fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Charles faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Charles must lower his price from $160,000 to $120,000 per fire engine. Note that while Charles gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial five engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $120,000.

Current tuition at Benedict College is around $24, 000 a year. Show what would likely happen to demand for educational services at the school if tuition went up to $40, 000 a year. The Ford F-150 (best selling vehicle in the U.S. for the last three decades) is currently priced at about $40, 000 to $45, 000. Show what would likely happen to the amount of vehicles offered for sale if the vehicle price went up to $52, 000. You have four kids at home and they are somewhat clumsy and spill a lot of milk and other drinks. While at DG you compare some paper towels options. The first option is a roll of towels that contains 43 sq. ft. of paper at a price of $1.75. The second option contains 67.3 sq. ft. of paper at $2.00. Which is the better choice? One of the problems with K-12 education in the U. S. is that there are not enough men (especially men of color) within the classrooms. The rational is that the salaries are too low. Show what…
Suppose Brian is in the market for a used textbook and the campus bookstore is having a sale. If the initial price of the used book is $77$77 and the discounted price is $59$59, what is the percentage change in the book price? Round your answer to two places after the decimal.
Exercise 6.3.Little Kona is a small coffee company considering entering a market dominated by Big Brewer. The benefits of each of them depend on whether or not the first enters and whether the second sets a high or low price: After analazing the graph, answer the following question: Great Brew threatens Little Kona by telling her, "If you go in, we're going to set a low price, so the best thing you can do is not get in." Do you think Little Kona should believe the threat? Why yes or why not?

homework Question 1: During the pandemic, many workers started to work from home using digital technologies. Children also started homeschooling using digital technologies. At the same time, technological progress has accelerated in the IT industry. Assume that the market for computer is in perfect competition and that the initial price of a computer is 1000 dollars. Given this context, explain the impact of the pandemic on: The supply curve of computers (answer in 70-130 words) The demand curve of computer (answer in 70-130 words) The equilibrium in the market for computers (answer in 70-130 words).
CareRight Medical Company has invented and received a patent for a new drug to treat a rare and fatal disease. It charges $5,000 for a year’s supply of the drug. Critics claim that this amount is excessive, as it does not cost that much to produce. They believe the company is taking advantage of sick people. CareRight responds that they are losing money on this drug. The critics are right: It does not cost CareRight $5,000 to produce a year’s supply for one person. However, CareRight’s statement is also correct in that they are losing money on the drug. How can both statements be true? Consider the different types of costs in your answer.
Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 29.0. When the price is $7.75, the quantity supplied of motorcycles is 65.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 103.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places.
