or each of the following separate parts, you are required to draw one or two graphs. Make sure that you label both axes correctly. (a) Consider the demand for gasoline. Suppose more substitutes for gasoline are available. Draw a graph to show how the price of elasticity of demand for gasoline changes. (b) Country A produces two goods: chicken wings and pizzas. If unemployment rate increases, draw how the PPF of country A will change. Assume that opportunity costs are increasing. (c) Consider the market for new houses. Suppose the prices of the materials for building houses increase. Draw a graph to show how the equilibrium of market for new houses changes.

In the diagrams below, shift one or both curves to show the effects of the following events. a. Fuel efficiency regulations reduce the use of steel in automobile production and increase the use of lighter materials such as aluminum. Also, increased import restrictions are imposed that limit the amount of steel that can be imported into the U.S. Graph: (inserted picture) (Market for steel in US) b. The developments described have (a negative, an indeterminate, a positive) effect on the equilibrium price of steel and (an indeterminate, a positive, a negative)effect on the equilibrium quantity. c.

Point A on the lighter PPF curve represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the PPF shifts to the right, the darker PPF curve.

Consider Kharkeez, a hypothetical country that produces only burgers. In 2019, a burger is priced at $2.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burgers that can be bought with $500. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burger, and always round down to the nearest whole burger. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 burgers, the answer should be 1 burger. Year Price of a Burger Burgers Bought with $500 (Dollars) (Quantity) 2019 2.00 2020 Suppose the government of Kharkeez cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 10% by 2020. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a burger and the new quantity of burgers that can be bought with $500 in 2020. The impact of the government's decision to raise revenue…
Assume the economy can produce either sports utility vehicles (SUVS) or minivans. The graph below depicts the current production possibilities frontier (PPF). Suppose several new factories are built. Move the end points of the PPF below to show how the PPF changes. Assume that the factory construction affects the economy's ability to produce both minivans and SUVs. Quantity of minivans Quantity of SUVs PPF This is an example of: economic stagnation. economic recession economic contraction. economic growth.
For all questions, refer to the graph on the reverse side. Use this graph for 1 – 4. The graph represents the market for coffee. Estimation may be necessary, so show work. Name a good that will see increased sales due to the tariff or quota above. Name a good besides coffee that will see decreased sales due to the tariff or quota above. Suppose that 1 US$ = 1.5 South African Rand. Also, suppose that the representative good, peanut butter, is $3 per jar in the US and 4 Rand per jar in SA. How will this situation affect the exchange market for U.S. dollars? Explain/show the effect(s) of these prices. Include the initial effect(s), the market adjustment(s), and the final result(s) on equilibrium.
Germany is the European Union’s largest economy. Suppose that it produces two goods: electricity and food. Electricity (e) is produced with large capital investments (C), especially in green energy, while food (f) is labour intensive (L). This means ae > af. Draw the situation described above in an Edgeworth Box. Place the origin of electricity in the south-west corner (left-bottom) and the origin of food in the north-east corner (top- right). Measure capital on the vertical axis and labour on the horizontal axis. Draw the contract curve, one isoquant for food, one isoquant for electricity and an efficient point of production.
Paul, Noel, and Sandi work in a bakery where they make pies and cakes. In one day, Paul can make 5 pies or 5 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Noel can make 30 pies or 10 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Sandi can make 12 pies or 6 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) of each person is a straight line. What are the opportunity costs of producing 1 pie in terms of the number of cakes for Paul, Noel, and Sandi? a. The opportunity cost of producing 1 pie for Paul is 1 cake; for Noel is one third of a cake; for Sandi is one half of a cake. b. The opportunity cost of producing 1 pie for Paul is 1 cake; for Noel is three cakes; for Sandi is one half of a cake. c. The opportunity cost of…

A) Consider the Island of Uba located off the shores of South Florida. The economy of Uba produces only two goods: sugar cane (S) and consumption goods and services (CS). In the late 1950s a new revolutionary announced a policy that required all Uba’s medical doctors, engineers, teachers and research scientists to allocate half their time to working in the cane fields. Draw the PPF (Production Possibilities Frontier) for Uba (Sugar cane on the x-axis, consumption goods and services on the y-axis). Indicate where the economy of Uba was located as a result of the new revolutionary government’s policy on the diagram and explain your results. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
