Suppose the total demand for wheat and the total supply of wheat per month in the Kansas City grain market are as shown in the accompanying table.a. What is the equilibrium price? What is the equilibrium quantity? Fill in the surplus-shortage column and use it to explain why your answers are correct.b. Graph the demand for wheat and the supply of wheat. Be sure to label the axes of your graph correctly. Label equilibrium price P and equilibrium quantity Q. c. Why will $3.40 not be the equilibrium price in this market? Why not $4.90? “Surpluses drive prices up; shortages drive them down.” Do you agree?
Suppose that the U.S. government places a ceiling on the price of a medical drug of $7.
1.) Using the point drawing
tool,
plot the quantity supplied on the supply line and label it.

- Assume that we are looking at the market for snowblowers in December. The initial equilibrium is at a price of $500 and quantities of 1,000. Assume that December begins with three massive blizzards, how might this impact the snowblower market? Demand will shift to the right, causing a surplus, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a lessor quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to increase until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity. Demand will shift to the right, causing a shortage, which causes prices to decrease until we end up with higher prices and a greater quantity.arrow_forwardAssume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P = 20 0.4Qd and supply by the equation P = 8 + 0.1Qs, where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price. a.
