The following graph shows the market for cereal in San Diego, where there are over 1,000 stores that sell cereal at any given moment. Suppose a new scientific study shows that San Diego is the most polluted city in the world. Due to health concerns, a significant number of families move out of the city.
*graph
Now suppose Congress passes a new tax that decreases the income of San Diego residents.
If cereal is a normal good, this will cause the demand for cereal to increase or decrease?

a) At a price of $0.75 per bag, the quantity demanded by the market is
[Select]
units of potato chips.
b) Suppose that the price of potato chips is initially $0.75 and increases to $1.25. There is
[Select]

of potato chips.
c) Suppose that Pete decides to go on a diet and will no longer purchases potato chips at any price.
In addition, after Pete has left the market, suppose that we observe that the quantity of potato chips
demanded by the market is equal to 14 units. We can therefore infer that the market price is

Point A represents a point along her weekly demand curve. The market price of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line From the previous graph, you can tell that Hilary is willing to pay $_______ for her 8th slice of cheesecake each week. Because she has to pay only$3.00 per slice, the consumer surplus she gains from the 8th slice of cheesecake is $_______. Suppose the price of cheesecake were to fall to $2.25 per slice. At this lower price, Hilary would receive a consumer surplus of $_______.from the 8th slice of cheesecake she buys.The following graph shows the weekly market demand for cheesecake in a small economy.

Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.arrow_forwardConsider the demand for hamburgers.
