- Why does the demand curve slope downward? Why does the supply curve slope upward? Given the demand and supply schedules below: Price (dollars per CD) Quantity Demanded (per day) Quantity Supplied (per day) 5.00 300 100 6.00 250 150 7.00 200 200 8.00 150 250 9.00 100 300 What is the market equilibrium? If the price of CD is $6.00, describe the situation in the CD market. Explain how market equilibrium is restored. A rise in incomes increases the quantity of CDs demanded by 100 a day at each price. What is the new equilibrium and how does the market adjust? A rise in the number of recording studios increases the quantity of CDs supplied by 75 a day at each price. People download more music from the Internet and the quantity demanded of CDs decreases by 25 a day at each price. With no change in incomes, what is the new equilibrium and how does the market adjust?arrow_forwardWhen the price is above the equilibrium, how do market forces move the market price to equilibrium. When price is above the equilibrium, there will be more sellers than buyers and the surplus goods will start to pile up. The only way for sellers to get rid of their excess goods is to raise prices. When price is above the equilibrium, there will be more sellers than buyers and the surplus goods will start to pile up. The only way for sellers to get rid of their excess goods is to lower prices. The government directs companies to lower their price to clear unused inventory When price is above the equilibrium, there will be more buyers than sellers and the surplus goods will start to pile up. The only way for sellers to get rid of their excess goods is to maintain their prices and wait.arrow_forwardYou will analyze the Market for Gasoline Step 1: Draw a supply-and-demand diagram. Price is on the vertical axis, quantity is on the horizontal axis, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward- sloping, and be sure to label equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 2. Change colors! If you have a highlighter or colored pencil (crayon, sharpie, whatever). Step 3. Show the change in demand or supply (only one curve will shift in each scenario). State if the curve decreases or increases. Step 4: Show the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Step 5: Repeat Steps 1-4 for each scenario. You will have a total of 4 graphs. Scenario A: A hurricane destroys refineries that produce gasoline. Scenario B: Consumers purchase electric vehicles that do not need gasoline. • Scenario C: Technological innovation occurs that reduces the cost of producing gasoline. Scenario D: Road trips become the one and only vacation option and many families opt for long-distance road trips. ● .arrow_forward
- Select all that are true regarding changes in markets changes in supply or changes in demand refer to changes in the function (relationship between price and quantity) changes in quantity refers to movement along an existing supply or demand curves changes in quantity are from a change in the willingness to pay or willingness to accept changes in supply or changes in demand are from the same willingness to pay or willingness to accept changes in supply or changes in demand results in a shift of the functions (lines) on the market graph changes in quantity result from movement along an existing demand or supply functionarrow_forwardThe supply and demand model applies to the market for drums in New York City.

- The data in the table above represent the market demand and supply for strawberries over a range of prices. Price(Cents) Quantity Demand(Million tin/ year) Quantity supplied(Million tins/year) 10 90 30 20 80 50 30 70 70 40 60 90 50 50 110 4.Define the equilibrium of a market. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. 5.Suppose that an increase in consumers’ income results in an increase of strawberries’ demand.The demand of strawberries rises by 30 million tins/year at each price level. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity.arrow_forwardDraw a standard demand-supply diagram. Make sure that both the demand and the supply curve touch the y-axis (price). Identify the point of market equilibrium. The seller’s surplus can be defined as the amount by which the market price exceeds the minimum price the seller seeks for supplying a given quantity (the seller’s “reservation price”). On the diagram identify the appropriate triangle whose area represents the seller’s surplus. Indicate the market price and the seller’s reservation price and explain how the difference between the two constitutes the seller’s surplus. 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_forwardQuantity Demanded Price $3.00 $6.00 $9.00 $12.00 $15.00 $18.00 $21.00 $24.00 $27.00 Quantity Supplied 225 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 The demand and supply schedules for hats are above.
