Consider the market for CD players, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose
there are network externalities in this market such that the quantity of a good
demanded grows in response to the growth of purchases by other individuals (as
indicated by the demand curve "Demand" in the figure). Suppose that the price is
initially $90 where the quantity demanded is 120 (thousand CD players
per month).
If the price of CD players falls to $50, demand will increase to 180 thousand CD
players per month. (Enter your response using an integer.)
Of this increase,

- If the demand shifts outward and the supply shifts outward the new equilibrium quantity will be higher, but the direction of the change in the equilibrium price is ambiguous. the new equilibrium price will be higher, but the direction of the change in the quantity is ambiguous. in the new equilibrium, the price will be higher but the quantity will be lower. in the new equilibium, the quantity will be higher but the price will be lower. in the new equilibrium, both price and quantity will be higher.arrow_forwardWhen a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand. As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below. Yaseen is a local artist who wants to increase the amount of money she earns every month by selling at-home painting kits. These kits will include a photograph of the finished painting, a link and password to Yaseen’s YouTube channel where she will…arrow_forwardDuring 2009, incomes fell sharply due to the financial crisis of 2008-2009. This change likely led to a decrease in the prices of both normal and inferior goods. If both coffee and tea are normal goods and the price of coffee increases, it will increase the demand for tea. If the price of lemonade decreases due to insufficient demand, and its supply decreases at the same time, the equilibrium price will clearly rise.arrow_forward
- X is an inferior good. If there is an increase in incomes, then (quantity supplied,quantity demanded, supply, demand) for good X will (increase, decrease). This will cause the equilibrium price to (increase, decrease) and quantity to (increase, decrease). If a new type of fertilizer is invented that makes coconut trees twice as productive, the (quantity supplied, quantity demanded, supply, demand) for coconuts will (increase, decrease). This will cause the price to (increase, decrease) and quantity to (increase, decrease).arrow_forwardOver the past few year's consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called 'pickle ball' have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A) A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. B) Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago C) Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand - and higher pay - for professional pickle ball players. D) All of the above.

- “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.” Do you agree or disagree with this view?arrow_forwardSuppose the National Football League (NFL) wants to make Super Bowl tickets affordable for more football fans. The league therefore sets the price of a Super Bowl ticket below what is generally considered a fair market price. Suppose the price of a ticket for a regular seat at the Super Bowl is set at just $500. People who have tickets, however, can turn resell them online for $2,500 each, or more. If there are no transaction costs associated with online sales of Super Bowl tickets, the true cost to a fan of attending the Super Bowl is: O at least $2,500. O the monetary price paid to obtain the ticket. at most $500. $2,000 less than the opportunity cost of a ticket.arrow_forwardSuppose the National Football League (NFL) wants to make Super Bowl tickets affordable for more football fans.

- Consumer surplus is calculated by taking the difference of the price consumers are willing to pay and the price actually paid. When the price is $4, the consumer would buy only two bottles because the value the consumer would get from the first bottle is $7. This implies, the surplus is $3. Similarly for the second bottle, the value the consumer would get from consuming it is $5 where the price the consumer will pay is $4, this implies the surplus is $1. Lastly, for the third bottle the value is $3 and the price is $4 so the price surpasses the value, therefore the consumer will not consumer beyond two bottles. The consumer surplus could be calculated as: Consumer Surplus = (7-4) + (5-4) = 3 + 1 = 2 This means the consumer will buy two bottles. If the price falls to $2, the consumer would only buy three bottles because the value the consumer gets from the first bottle valued at $7 versus the $2 paid implies a consumer…arrow_forwarde E L E 11- esc CENGAGE MINDTAP Chapter 07 Homework Consider the market for electric vehicles.

Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit.
