Describe the impact on equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity... what happened, and why?
(Type your answer here.) The equilibrium price will go down due to the price decline of cloth.
Companies have the ability to make different products at lower prices, making the equilibrium
quantity decrease because fewer khaki pants are being made.

Will the equilibrium price of orange juice increase or decrease in each of the following situations? LO7a.
A medical study reporting that orange juice reduces cancer is released at the same time that a freak storm destroys half of the orange crop in Florida.
The prices of all beverages except orange juice fall in half while unexpectedly perfect weather in Florida results in an orange crop that is 20 percent larger than normal.

- . During the 1980s most of the global supply of lysine was produced by a Japanese company named Anjinomoto. Lysine is an essential amino acid that is an important livestock feed component. At this time, the US imported most of this global supply of lysine (more than 30,000 tons) to use in livestock feed at a price of $1.65 per pound. The global market for lysine, however, fundamentally changed in 1991 when US-based Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) began producing lysine; a move that doubled worldwide production capacity. Experts conjectured that the marginal cost of producing lysine was approximately $0.70 per pound. Despite ADM's entry into the lysine market, suppose demand remained constant at Q = 208 – 80P (in millions of pounds). Shortly after ADM began producing lysine, the worldwide price dropped to $0.70. By 1993, however, the price of lysine shot back up to $1.65. Give a plausible explanation for what might have happened in the lysine market. Support your answer with appropriate…arrow_forwarda. b.
