Consider the markets for beef (B) and lamb (M), where the demand curves are
Q = 20 ā 2PM + Ps and Q = 60 ā 6PB + 4 PM
and the supply curves are QM = 2PM and QB = 3P8.
a) Find the equilibrium prices and quantities for beef and lamb.
b) Suppose that an increase in the price of chicken shifts the supply curve of lamb to
QM = PM. How does this change affect the equilibrium prices and quantities for beef
and lamb? Using words and graphs, explain why a shift in the supply curve for lamb
would change the price of beef.
The figure depicts the market for shoes. Suppose that a less expensive material for making shoes is developed. What effect will this event have on supply and demand in the shoe market? Demonstrate your answer graphically. Instructions: Use the tool provided "New line" to draw either a new demand or supply curve that reflects the market effect of this event. Plot only the endpoints of the line.

- Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown riceā¦arrow_forwardEthanol, a fuel, is made from corn. Ethanol production increased 5.5 times from 2000 to 2008 and another 34% from 2008 to February 2013 (www.ethanolrfa.org). What effect did this increased use of corn for producing ethanol have on the price of corn and the consumption of corn as food? 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new demand curve (D2) or a new supply curve (S,) that shows how the increased use of corn for producing ethanol affects the market for corn as food, Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new market equilibrium. Label this point 'e2'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. What happens to the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of corn as food? In the market for corn as food, the equilibrium price V and the D1 Q1 equilibrium quantity Q, quantity of corn as food ... $. price of cornarrow_forwardIn the new academic year, a school mandates that all students must take an Economics course.

- You own Naughty Pine lumber and sell fence panels in a competitive market. Right now, your selling price is $130 for a fence panel, and you sell 8 panels a day. You are considering changing your price. You estimate that if you raise your price to $152 a panel, you would sell 7 panels a day. On the other hand, if you lower your price to $108 a panel, you would sell 12 panels a day. (a) Draw a graph of the above information. Label your axes, and the curve. Be sure your work is clear. (b) Use the MIDPOINT FORMULA to calculate Ed over the ranges below. Use TWO decimals in your answers. (i)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $152 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $152 a panelĀ (ii)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for a price change from $130 to $108 and daily Total Revenue if you change your price to $108 a panel Should you keep your current price, or raise the price, or lower the price?arrow_forwardQ.4 (a)Define fully a general competitive equilibrium.
