2. 3-5: Attaining Market Equilibrium *3* The Wall Street Journal of March 20, 2020, reported on the "large surplus of oil" as there is not enough storage capacity to hold the refined oil. Assuming the price of oil is set by competitive market forces, which of the following sequence of events accurately describes how the surplus of oil would be eliminated? As price decreases, the: Quantity demanded decreases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand decreases, supply increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand increases, supply decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached.

Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.
Explain why the following statement is false: In the goods market, no buyer would be willing to pay more than me equilibrium price.
The following table summarizes information about the market for principles of economics textbooks: What is the market equilibrium price and quantity of textbooks? To quell outrage over tuition increases, the college places a $55 limit on the price of textbooks. How many textbooks will be sold now? While the price limit is still in effect, automated publishing increases the efficiency of textbook production. Show graphically the likely effect of this innovation on the market price and quantity.
What is consumer surplus? How is it illustrated on a demand and supply diagram?
Is The following graph plots the supply and demand curves in the market for VR headsets. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of VR headsets. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumer surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producer surplus.

Suppose wheat is bought & sold in a competitive market. a) Below is the competitive market graph for wheat, with price in $/bushel and quantity in millions of bushels. Identify the equilibrium. (use the graph that is single attached as a photo) Now suppose that the government commits to buying 20M bushels of wheat, above and beyond the demand shown above. That commitment includes a promise to pay whatever equilibrium price happens with the additional purchase of 20M by the government. Part(b) are two ways to introduce and analyze the government’s purchase b) (a)One way to view the govt’s 20M is as extra demand above and beyond the market demand. Build this approach into the graph below left. (Use the quantity values on the graph - 0, 20, 40, 60, 80,100 – to help you get a reasonably accurate analysis.) Identify the new equilibrium P & Q (not as numbers, just position them on your graph).(b)A second way to view the govt’s 20M is as a reduction in the supply available to the…
D Question 12 One In the News article in the text titled "Students Struggle to Find Final Four Tickets" described how professional scalpers use the Internet to sell hard-to-get tickets to concerts and sporting events. Apparently the initial price of the tickets being scalped was too Low for equilibrium, resulting in a surplus of tickets. Low for equilibrium, resulting in a shortage of tickets. O High for equilibrium, resulting in a surplus of tickets. High for equilibrium, resulting in a shortage of tickets.
Macmillan Learning Assume that we are looking at the egg market and presently the equilibrium price for a dozen eggs is $3.50 and the present equilibrium quantities are at 5 million dozen. Suppose the price of chicken feed that is fed to egg producing chickens triples in price. Which of the following best describes the impact that this would have on the egg market? Holding all other variables constant. The supply curve would decrease shifting to the left, causing an excess demand for eggs. The market would then begin to adjust as price would increase, which causes the quantity demanded to increase and quantity supplied to decrease until the quantities demanded and supplied are equal at a new equilibrium. This new equilibrium would be at a price higher than $3.50 and at quantities less than 5 million dozen. The supply curve would decrease shifting to the right, causing an excess demand for eggs. The market would then begin to adjust as price would increase, which causes the quantity…
Section 4.1: Page 186: 68 Supply and demand for com. At $2.13 per bushel, the annual supply for corn in the Midwest is 8.9 billion bushels and the annual demand Is 6.5 billion bushels. When the price falls to $1.50 per bushel, the annual supply decreases to 8.2 billion bushels and the annual demand increases to 7.4 billion bushels. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. A) Find the price-supply equation. B) Find the price-demand equation. C) Find the supply and demand if bushels of corn are $1.25 per bushel. Discuss the stability of the corn market at this price level. JAN 23 D) Find the equilibrium price and quantity and interpret the meaning. A
Define the concept of market equilibrium. Explain and demonstrate in a graph the process by which a market reaches equilibrium when there is a change in supply or demand (review the. Carefully explain how a shortage/ surplus gets eliminated through price adjustments following a change in supply or demand. Make specific reference to the law of demand and law of supply in your explanation.
A dairy farmer who produce fat free-milk can sell the cream that was extracted to make the milk fat free. Fat free milk and cream are therefore joint products. After an article, explaining the health benefits of fat free milk, has been published in an influential magazine, the demand for fat free milk increases. What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of cream? O A. the equilibrium price will rice and the equilibrium quantity will increase. O B. the equilibrium price will drop and the equilibrium quantity will decrease O C. the equilibrium price will drop and the equilibrium quantity will increase. O D. the equilibrium price will rise and the equilibrium quantity will decrease
The Wall Street Journal recently reported “Best Buy Sales Drop” (8/29/23) as demand for electronics is falling as “shoppers are feeling the strain of higher debt...and spending what funds they do have on essentials and experiences.” Illustrate this change in demand in a supply/demand diagram for electronics. Label your curves and equilibrium prices and quantities, clearly showing how equilibrium price and quantity change. Just show two demand curves but be sure to include a single supply curve
