Suppose the demand for a certain item is given by D(p) = - 2p? - 4p + 500, where p represents the price of the item in dollars.
a. Find the rate of change of demand with respect to price
b. Find and interpret the rate of change of demand when the price is $8.
a. The rate of change of demand with respect to price is- (Simplify your answer.)
b. Choose the correct answer below and fill in any answer boxes in your choice.
O A. When the price is $8, demand is increasing at a rate of about items for each increase in price of $8.
O B. When the price is $8, demand is decreasing at a rate of about items for each increase in price of $8.
OC. When the price is $8, demand is decreasing at a rate of about items for each increase in price of $1.
O D. When the price is $8, demand is increasing at a rate of about items for each increase in price of $1.

Suppose between 1950 and 2020, the supply of wheat increased substantially due to increases in productivity, shifting the wheat supply curve to the right. With this supply shift, the amount by which the price of wheat falls will be larger the more the demand for wheat. In addition, assume that between 1950 and 2020 the income of the average American increased substantially and that wheat is a normal good. With this increase in income, OA. the price of wheat will be unaffected. OB. the amount by which the price of wheat rises will be smaller the higher the income elasticity of wheat. C. the amount by which the price of wheat falls will be smaller the higher the income elasticity of wheat.

This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2.
