This year had an unexpectedly good crop of coffee beans, such that the supply of
the market increased by 50% for any price.
Considering the new supply curve, what will the excess demand(that is, quantity
demanded minus quantity supplied) in the market be if the government institutes a
price ceiling of $3.60?

A fishing boat just returned from the sea with its hold full of blue-fin tuna. The demand for blue-fin tuna is given in the table above. This boat is the only one that has blue-fin tuna for sale this day. The boat captain is considering asking $ 150 per pound of his tuna. His first mate disagrees and argues for asking $120 per pound. What is the elasticity of demand for tuna between the price/quantity point the captain prefers and the one the first mate prefers?
Is the demand between the two points from part (a) elastic or inelastic? Which price would result in higher sales revenue?
Suppose the total amount of tuna they have to sell is 500 lbs. and all unsold fish will spoil overnight. Given this new information, what should the fishermen charge for their tuna? Assume they are trying to…
QUESTION 9
9. Imagine a small bakery that produces two types of bread: Whole Wheat Bread (Good A) and White Bread
(Good B). Both of these bread types require similar production processes and are considered substitutes in
production. The bakery has been operating in a stable market until recently.
The demand for Good A (Whole Wheat Bread) increases due to a health trend that promotes whole wheat
products. As a result, the increase in demand for Good A shift the
a) demand curve for good B rightward.
b) demand curve for good B leftward.
c) supply curve of good B rightward.
d) supply curve of good B leftward.

In fact, it rises by a smaller amount with each good consumed. The extra utility gained from consuming one more unit is called marginal utility.
