Draw a supply and demand curve for oil. The government says we can no longer import oil from overseas, what happens to the supply or demand of oil? Why?

Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?

With the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same. As a result, what can we expect in the market for rice, used by many as a staple instead of wheat? a) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will decrease b) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will increase c) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will increase d) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will decrease
