One can gain insight by manipulating the price elasticity of the demand equation. The information provided below, demonstrate what happens in the specific markets. a.) Suppose there is a technological change that allows manufacturers to make Android smartphones much more cheaply. In fact, the retail price falls by 15%, ceteris paribus. i) If the price elasticity of demand is -0.7, how much does the quantity demanded change? ii) Are the producers definitely better off or worse off? b.) In an alternative scenario, ceteris paribus, suppose there is a new tax on data usage. The cum-tax monthly bill increases by 25%. i) If the price elasticity of demand is -0.33, how much does the quantity demanded change? ii) Do the data plan providers earn more revenue or less revenue?
Suppose the demand for Car is given by Qd = 1000-0.5P and that the supply of Car is given by Qs=2P-300 .a. Solve for the equilibrium price. Plug the equilibrium price back into the demand equation and solve for the equilibrium quantity.b. Draw a diagram, depicting supply and demand.c. Suggest a method how you can check your result from A and implement it. Is your result that you gave in A) correct?d. Calculate the Consumer Surplus for the given setting.
Supply and Demand-End of Chapter Problem The demand for organic carrots is given by the following equation: 08 = 75 - SPo + Pc + 21 where Po is the price of organic carrots, Pe is the price of conventional carrots, and / is the average consumer income. Notice how this isn't a standard demand curve that just relates the quantity of organic carrots demandod to the price of organic carrots. This demand function also describes how other factors affect demand-namely, the price of another good (conventional carrots) and income. a. Calculate the inverse demand curve for organic carrots when Pc 5 and I 10, then drag the endpoints of the line labeled (a.) on the graph to plot this curve %3D %3D
Which one of the following statements is correct?A. We cannot analyse demand without using the ceteris paribus assumption.B. Ceteris paribus means that all possible changes are taken into account.C. With the ceteris paribus assumption we can allow at least three changes to occur simultaneously.D. With the ceteris paribus assumption everything is changing at the same time.E. The ceteris paribus assumption applies to demand schedules but not to demand curves.
Assume that supply for cars increases for any given price and, at the same time, the demand for cars reduces for any given price. You can predict: a. That the price of cars will unambiguously increase, while the car sales may increase or decrease. b. That car sales will unambiguously decrease, while the car price may increase or decrease. c. That the price of cars will unambiguously decrease, while the car sales may increase or decrease. d. That car sales will unambiguously increase, while the car price may increase or decrease.
Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium - Think of a product that you have purchased recently (e.g. soda, diapers, takeout meals, milk, shoes, manicure/pedicure, video game, etc...). Explain how the law of demand affected your purchase. Give specific examples of how the determinants of demand and supply affect this product (T-I-P-E-N and P-R-E-S-T). What happens to the demand curve and the supply curve when any of these determinants change? What would cause a change in demand versus a movement along the same demand curve for this product? How would you determine the new equilibrium price and quantity that result from these changes? Can you demonstrate some of these changes graphically? Price Elasticity of Demand - Consider a product that you have purchased recently. If the price of this item increases, how would you adjust your purchases? Is the Demand for this product Price Elastic or Price Inelastic? Justify your classification by applying the determinants of elasticity to…
Which of the following statements is false? To an economist, demand is different from quantity demanded. O A demand schedule is the numerical tabulation of the law of demand. A demand curve is the graphical representation of the direct relationship between price and quantity demanded.
Q.3 a) A change in consumer’s expectations causes a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain. A change in price of the goods results in a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain b) A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows: Price Quantity demanded Rs.230 70 210 90 190 110 170 130 i) Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not. ii) Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good?
09. Which of the following statements is False? a) Supply is a relationship between price and quantity. b) Demand represents the willingness and ability of buyers to buy quantities of a good at various prices. c) The demand relationship represents the specific quantity of a good demanders have bought. d) All of the above e) None of the above

1. Which of the following will result in an uncertainty regarding any change that might occur in the equilibrium quantity but a definite increase in the equilibrium price? a) An increase in demand and a decrease in supply b) A decrease in demand and a decrease in supply c) A decrease in demand and an increase in supply d) An increase in demand and an increase in supply 2. In a production possibility frontier (PPF) graph it is observed that points 1,2,3, and 4 lie on the PPF, Point 5 is outside the PPF, and point 6 is inside the PPF. Which of the following statements is correct? a) Point 6 can be produced only if there is an increase in resource availability and/or an improvement in technology. b) Points 1-4 and 6 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but resources are used efficiently only at points 1-4. c) Point 5 can be produced with the currently available resources and technology, but the resource use is inefficient. d) Point 6 can be produced with…
