Graphically prove the following necessary condition given to us
by economist Gottfried Haberler: An increasing supply of money and
credit is a necessary condition for the occurrence of a long-run
boom in the business cycle.
Given the following information graphically illustrate the
demand and supply curves and solve for the consumer and producer
surplus:
a. Q(d)=200-5P Q(s)=50+5P
b. Q(d)=1000-20P Q(s)=200+5P
c. P=400-0.5Q(d) P=100+0.5Q(s)
d. P=2000-2Q(d) P=200+3Q(s)
Suppose the coffee market in the US is given by the following
equations for supply and demand: QS = 9 + 0.5p QD = 12 − p where Q
is the quantity in millions of tons per year and p is the price per
pound.(a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee.(b) At the equilibrium price, what is the price elasticity of
demand?(c) Suppose a tax of $0.75 is imposed on coffee producers.
Calculate the new equilibrium price and...
What is meant by the word ‘cause’ in the following—necessary
condition, sufficient condition, or mere tendency?(a) Throwing a brick through a window causes it to break. (b)
Slavery caused the American Civil War.(c) Exposure to the cold causes frostbite.(d) Running causes knee injuries.(e) Closing your eyes causes you not to be able to see.
1. Using the supply and demand model, graphically
show the effect of each of the following changes on the equilibrium
price and quantity in the market for bacon:
a. A decrease in the price of sausage links (explain
any assumptions you make).
b. An increase in the price of corn, which is fed to
pigs (explain any assumptions you make).
c. An increase in the average income of consumers
(explain any assumptions you make).
d. The introduction of a price...
Use either a shift in demand of supply to GRAPHICALLY represent
each of the following situations. Also, label the graphs correctly
and indicate the changes in equilibrium in each case.
Beef market: Increases in the cost of cattle
feed.
Air travel market: Reduced number of travelers due to Covid-19
pandemic.
SUV market: Reduced gasoline prices.
Smartphone market: Technology improvements reduced the cost of
manufacturing smartphones.
Four separate graphs please.
a) How would economic contraction brought about by Covid – 19
slowdown...

Use supply and demand to explain and show the following
real-world situations graphically and in a short paragraph. Be sure
to explain what happens to the market quantity and price with a
supply and demand diagram as precisely as possible.
a) The cost of producing sport utility vehicles (SUVs) decreases
because tariffs are reduced on the steel and aluminum used to
produce these vehicles. Explain what happens to the market quantity
and price of SUVs.
b) The fungus Fusarium destroys...
Suppose that an economist estimated the following regression
equation for the supply of avocados.
Where PFis the per-ton price of fertilizer,
QSis in millions of pounds per month and the
price of avocados is in dollars per pound.
a. Determine how much
the supply curve shifts if the price of fertilizer rises by $1.10
per unit.
b. Explain why a
change in the price of fertilizer causes a shift in supply for
avocados rather than a movement along the supply curve.
c. Holding...
The Economist observed the following: In
Argentina, many loans were taken out in US dollars” this had
catastrophic consequences for borrowers once the peg collapsed.”
What does it mean that Argentina’s “peg collapsed”? Why was the end
of the peg (fixed exchange rate regime) catastrophic for borrowers
in Argentina who had taken loans in US dollars?
