Use four separate supply and demand diagrams to illustrate the effects of the following possible shocks on the equilibrium price and quantity of avocados. In each diagram clearly indicate the initial equilibrium price and quantity with a P₁ and Q₁ and the new equilibrium price and quantity after the shock P₂ and Q₂

A.) A major scientific study shows that people who regularly consume avocados live on average seven years longer than those who don’t consume avocados.

B.) Farmers produce genetically modified avocado plants which allow for greater output without increasing costs.

C.) There is a large increase in the price of tomatoes, which is a complement of avocados.

D.) There is a significant increase in the price of water in California, where most U.S. avocados are grown

Expert Solution

Ans.
A) This study will lead to increase in demand for avocados shifting the demnad curve to the right from D to D' which will increase the price of the avocados from Pe to P' and equilibrium quantity from Qe to Q'.

B) This will increase the farmer's profits, so, they will increase the supply of avacados shifting the supply curve from S to S'. This will decrease the price of avacados from Pe to P' but increase the equilibrium quantity from Qe to Q'

C) As tomatoes and avacados are complementary goods, so, increase in price of tomatoes will lead to decrease in demand for avacados shifting the demand curve leftwards from D to D' which will lead to decrease in price of avacados from Pe to P' and equilibrium quantity from Qe to Q'

D) Increase in price of water will increase the cost of production of avacados leading to a decrease in supply shifting the supply curve leftwards from S to S' which will lead to increase in price of avacados from Pe to P' but decrease in equilibrium quantity of avacados from Qe to Q'.

1. On separate demand and supply diagrams for bread, sketch the effects of the following: (a) a rise in the price of wheat; (b) a rise in the price of butter and margarine; (c) a rise in the price of rice, pasta and potatoes. In each case, state your assumptions. (a) The supply curve will shift to the left: the price of bread will rise and the quantity sold will fall. Wheat is used to make flour, which is used...

Use supply and demand curves to illustrate the impact of each the following separate events on the equilibrium price and quantity of oranges. For each of the four situations, label your curves, axes, and the equilibrium prices and quantities, showing the coordinates of the equilibrium points on the axes. Also include a brief verbal explanation; state any assumptions you make. 1) A study finds that a daily glass of orange juice reduces the risk of heart disease. 2) The price...

In the space below, use a supply and demand diagrams to illustrate the situation where demand increases and supply also increases (at the same time). Indicate what the model predicts about the change in equilibrium price and quantity. Carefully label your diagram and explain it. (HINT: three graphs) Explain all answers fully and give concluding sentences.

Use separate diagrams of your choice to illustrate and answer the following: Should policy makers introduce a new tax to combat a ‘bad’ behaviour (like for example trying to combat obesity by introducing a sugar tax) or instead use some form of ‘nudging’? If so, how? If not, why not? Provide a real-life examples (other than the sugar tax mentioned above) when making your case.
