Recently, the market for beef has been experiencing a major change. In general,there has been a decline in demand for beef as consumers have turned more to fish andchicken or have simply been eating less meat overall. On the other hand, there has been adramatic increase in demand for “organic” or naturally raised beef. In fact, organic beef sellsfor a substantial premium over regular beef.a. Use comparative statics analysis to analyze the short-run and long-run effects of these shifts in demand.b. Answers should include a graph

Figure 1 The production possibility frontier ABCDE is a production possibility frontier. It shows the different combinations of goods which can be produced if all resources are fully and efficiently utilised. The economy can produce at any point on the line. It cannot produce at G because the PPF shows the maximum that can be produced. It can produce within the PPF,05 such as at F, but less will be produced than the maximum possible.

Last year, 1000 galions of almond milk (a non-dairy product) were sold at a price of $10 Yet, this year, a bad harvest in Califomia has wiped out a significant part of the aimond harvest At the same tme, a larger number of people are looking to shift away from dairy products towards non-dairy atematives. Because of these two changee, O the equilbrum price will increase and change in the equlbrum quantity is unambiguous O he equtibrium price will decrease but change in the equilbrum quantity is ambiguous O he change in the equiibrium price is ambiguous, but the equilbrium quantty wil increase O he equiibrium price will increase but change in the equilbrum quantity is ambiguous
Corisiuer tie market ior minivaris. ASsume iminivaris are a normai goou. For each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of demand or supply are affected. If demand is unaffected by this event because it creates only a supply change, select the "None" option under the "Demand Determinant" column. Similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates only a demand change, select the "None" option under the "Supply Determinant" column. Event Demand Determinant Supply Determinant People decide to have more children. A strike by steelworkers raises steel prices. Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of minivans. The price of sports utility vehicles rises. A stock-market crash lowers people's wealth. Show the effect of the following event on the market for minivans: People decide to have more children. (? Supply Demand Supply Demand Quantity of Minivans Price of Minivans
Suppose that both groups of students are on the right track, and each of the events described above arepartially responsible for the decrease in the price of pizzas. Based on your analysis of the explanationsoffered by the two groups of students, how would you determine which of the possible causes was thedominant cause of the decrease in the price of pizza? 1. Whichever change occured first must have beenthe primary cause of the change in the price of pizzas 2. If the equilibrium quantity of pizzas increases,then the demand shift in the market for pizzas must have been larger than the supply shift. 3. if theequilibrium quantity of pizzas increase, then the supply shift in the market for pizzas must have beenlarger than the demand shift. 4. If the price decrease was large, then the supply shift in the martket forpizzas must have been larger than the demand shift

Suppose the linear demand curve for shirtsslopes downward and that consumers buy 500 shirts per yearwhen the price is $30 and 1,000 shirts per year when the priceis $25.a. Compared to the prices of $30 and $25, what can you sayabout the marginal valuation that consumers place on the300th shirt, the 700th shirt, and the 1,200th shirt they mightbuy each year?b. With diminishing marginal utility, are consumers derivingany consumer surplus if the price is $25 per shirt? Explain.c. Use a market demand curve to illustrate the change in consumersurplus if the price drops from $30 to $25.
