The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water. What is the amount of the shortage after the accident? shortage: cases of water Price (5) 10 9 8 7 6 4 3 2 1 0 0 Demand Supply Price ceiling 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1,000 Quantity of bottled water by the case

When someone’s kidneys fail, the person needs tohave medical treatment with a dialysis machine (unlessor until they receive a kidney transplant) or they will die.Sketch a supply and demand diagram, paying attentionto the appropriate elasticities, to illustrate that the supplyof such dialysis machines will primarily determine theprice.
Suppose that the demand schedule for rice for a Saudi family is as follows:PriceQuantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 10,000)Quantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 15,000)SR 5 60 70SR 4 80 95SR 3 100 120SR 2 120 145SR 1 140 170a. Given the table above, draw the demand curve of rice using Excel.b. Show what will happen to your graph if this family like now less rice as they are eatingmore outside.c. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of riceincreases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR15,000.d. Calculate the income elasticity of demand of this family as their income increases fromSR 10,000 to SR15,000 if (i) the price is SR 3 and (ii) the price is SR 1.
In 2018, a cold front in Barbados increased both the demand for water heaters andgasolines. The usage of gasoline was 581 tonnes, an increase from 499 tonnes in theprevious year. The Petroleum Company of Barbados advised Government officials thatdemand could outweigh supply and asked companies to increase the supply. They alsoasked major gasoline users, such as power plants, to reduce demand. iv. Discuss one factor EACH that you think influence demand and supply for waterheaters. Provide examples v. Is demand for gas is price elastic or price inelastic? Explain your reasoning
please draw the graph for question3, dont you respond me with chat gpt and dont give and writen solution Draw a correctly labelled demand and supply graph for the market for toilet paper in the US with an equilibrium price of $20 per pack: You should label your vertical axis as "Price" and the horizontal axis as "Quantity". Draw a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve. Label the point where they intersect as the equilibrium point, with a price of $20 per pack. During the pandemic, more people were buying toilet paper in fear that it would run out. On the same graph, show how this affects the market for toilet paper. Explain your answer: The increased fear would cause a shift to the right in the demand curve, indicating higher demand at each price level. This would move the equilibrium point up along the supply curve, indicating a higher price and quantity sold. Now impose a price ceiling at $15 per pack. What would be the impact of the price ceiling…
a. The recent statement given in October 2020 by French President undermined the sentiments of the Muslims all around the world. The Muslims of Pakistan decided to record their protest by boycotting French products. A recent survey shows that the shunning of French products has bought about 35 percent decrease in the sales within a month. Suppose, in September 2020, the market for Garnier hair color a French product was at equilibrium with an equilibrium price 1050 and equilibrium quantity of 12,000 in Pakistan. Analyze the impact of a boycott on the demand of Garnier hair color for the month of October 2020 in Pakistan and illustrate it graphically. Also, explain why or why not the demand has changed? b. Consider a market for Tea a normal good in Karachi. You are supposed to analyze and discuss the effect on the equilibrium output and the price in the Tea market in Karachi for the October, 2020 after the following changes (Other things held constant).

What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires? Microeconomics chapter 3 Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…
