Sven makes rocking chairs for a cost of $75 each, and he sells the rocking chairs for a market price of $130 each. Deidre is willing to pay $200 for a rocking chair. However, the government believes that rocking chair manufacturers should receive more money, and set the lowest legal price rocking chairs can be sold for at $250. At the market price, Sven is willing to sell a rocking chair to Deidre, and Deidre is willing to buy a rocking chair from Sven. Unfortunately, with the new legal minimum, Sven and Deidre cannot trade with one another, and miss out on additional gains from trade.

You may have observed that items such as different brands of aspirin, tomato sauce, or gasoline are typically priced the same as each other. This is particularly true when consumers can find these goods in close proximity to each other. For example, prices are often the same at gas stations that are on opposite sides of the street. Prices are also generally the same for products next to each other on the same grocery store shelf.
Choose the correct fill in the blank.
The aforementioned examples are goods that are likely to be
substitutes or complements
You would expect the value of the cross-price elasticity to be
insignificant, small, or large because the opportunity cost of getting information on price is low.

- You are advising Roy on the opening of his Original-Original Famous Pizzeria. By plotting the points below on a coordinate plane, you can show Roy the price points that would lead to a shortage of slices, a surplus of slices, and the point of maximum efficiency per slice. On the graph paper below: label your vertical axis with prices and your horizontal axis with quantity, plot each point of the demand and draw the curve with one color. plot each point of supply and draw the curve with a different color, identify the equilibrium point on your grapharrow_forwardThink of a relevant example in your own life of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardImagine that you are buying Lego bricks.
