A newspaper report states that chocolate production is failing to keep up with worldwide consumption and could fall behind by 2 million metric tons annually by 2030.
Does this create an excess demand or excess supply situation? Explain how it will affect the price of chocolates in the future.

a) Suppose that the quantity demanded rises by 40 million packs of gum per month at each
price.
b) Draw the initial demand and supply curves as given by the table above. Call this graph
Graph 1. Label this demand curve D1, and this supply curve S1. Draw the new demand
curve given by this change, labeling it D2. Show the new equilibrium price and output,
labeling this point A.
c) Suppose that the quantity supplied rises by 50 million packs per month at each price, while
the quantities demanded retain their D1 values. On a new graph (labeled as Graph 2), draw
D1, S1, and the new supply curve, S2. Show the new equilibrium output and price, labeling
this point C.
Suppose that more people have opened their own e-business because they wanted to be their own bosses, but the
demand for e-products has grown even faster as the economy recovered from the pandemic. How would this affect the
equilibrium price and quantity of meals sold by restaurants? (reperesnt this in graph)

- Q4 Which of the following statements about the consumers’ responses to rising gasoline prices is correct? Because gasoline is a necessity, consumers do not decrease their quantity demanded in either the short run or the long run. About 10 percent of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about 90 percent arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars. About 90 percent of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about 10 percent arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars. About half of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about half arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars.arrow_forward13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. 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 curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forwardSection 4.1: Page 186: 68 Supply and demand for com.

- The following is an excerpt from an article in the Singaporean newspaper, the Straits Times: Singaporeans with a sweet tooth could soon find themselves paying more for their favourite treats, as bakers and confectioners buckle under soaring sugar prices. Since March last year, the price of white sugar has shot up by 70 per cent, according to the New York Board of Trade. As if that didn’t make life difficult enough for bakers, butter and cheese prices have also risen, by 31 per cent and 17 per cent respectively. The increases have been caused by various factors: a steep drop in Thailand’s sugarcane production due to drought, higher sea freight charges, increasing demand from China’s consumers for dairy products and the strong Australian and New Zealand dollar. For the consumer in Singapore, what this may eventually boil down to is a more expensive bag of cookies, with prices at some bakeries expected to rise between 10 and 20 per cent.

For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Two factors that affect the supply of sedans are the level of technical knowledge-in this case, the speed with which manufacturing robots can fasten bolts, or robot speed-and the wage rate that auto manufacturers must pay their employees. Initially, the graph shows the supply curve when robots can fasten 2,500 bolts per hour and autoworkers earn $25 per hour. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil. Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complementary good for heating oil), and the price of natural gas (a substitute good for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil. Use the calculator to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to the calculator. Initially, the price of natural gas is $10 per 1,000 cubic feet, the price of an oil furnace is $2,000, the average annual household income is $40,000, the cost of crude oil is $25 per barrel of heating oil, and the cost of refining oil is $15 per barrel of heating oil.
