Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
vSuppose that supply and demand for a certain commodity are described by the supply curve, p=0.0001q+0.005 , and demand curve, p=-0.002q+62.00 . Determine the quantity of the commodity that will be produced and the selling price.
The shorter the period of time consumers have to adjust to price changes, the O lower; income O lower price O higher; income higher; price the elasticity of demand.
Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move. (3) your recommendations for measurement. and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand

After analyzing the demand for his products, Ahmed realized that the demand for his products is inelastic. This means that, O a. the demand for his products are sensitive to price changes O b. it is not advisable to increase his price O c. the demand for his products are weak O d. it is fine to increase his price
When supply increases, the effect is a large decrease in price and a small increase in quantity demanded, consumers are responsive to the change in price O consumers are not responsive to the change in price O producers are not responsive to the change in price O producers will increase price.

For each case below, state whether you think the correlation is positive or negative. Also state whether the correlation is due to a direct cause, common underlying cause or a coincidence. a. Correlation between demand for breakfast cereal and demand for bread. The correlation is likely? The correlation is likely due to O a direct cause because an increase in demand for breakfast cereal would likely cause an increase in demand for bread O a common underlying cause that would affect both demand for breakfast cereal and demand for bread O a direct cause because an increase in demand for breakfast cereal would likely cause a decrease in demand for bread O a coincidence because it is unlikely that an increase in demand for breakfast cereal would cause demand for bread to change
