Directions: Please answer the following two questions (one paragraph for each should suffice, but the best answers will include appropriate diagrams):
A) With reference to two different determinants of demand, explain why the demand for Levis jeans might decrease (shift inwards, i.e. to the left).
B) With reference to the determinants of supply, choose a product you would be likely to buy at your favorite store (e.g. an iPhone at the Apple store) and discuss two or more reasons why the store would increase their supply of your chosen product.

- Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.arrow_forwardChoose a good or service you are familiar with. It should be something that is currently available for purchase. If your classmates would be unfamiliar with this good or service, provide a brief description. Initial Response: Complete all items below: 1) Choose the most likely demand shifter (the things that shift demand) for your product and explain why and how the demand curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that demand shifter. If the demand curve shifts in the way you are suggesting, what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity? 2) Choose the most likely supply shifter (the things that shift supply) for your product and explain why and how the supply curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that supply shifter. If the supply curve shifts in the way you are suggesting what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity? 3) If both the supply and demand curves shift in the way you suggested in #1 & #2 above, what will happen to equilibrium…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the best example of the concept of demand?

Multiple Choice Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from elastic to inelastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from Inelastic to elastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the demand curve is convex to the origin, price elasticity of demand is constant throughout. A steep slope means demand is relatively inelastic, a flat slope means demand is relatively elasticarrow_forward
