Draw a well-presented and well-labelled supply and demand
diagram to show the welfare effects of rent control.
Using your diagram from part (a) construct a well-presented
table that shows the consumer surplus, producer surplus, total
surplus and deadweight loss both before and after the rent control
has been put in place.
According to your diagram has consumer surplus increased or
decreased? Briefly explain consumer surplus has decreased or
increased.
using well labelled diagram,explain how the
equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity of apples will
change as a result of the following;
-a change in the wages of farm workers from R150 per day to R200
per day
-a decrease in the price of fertilizers and a concurrent increase
in the demand for Apple juice
Using a well-labelled diagram, explain how a shift in
preferences towards a situation where parents derive less utility
from children can affect the optimal fertility decisions.
1. a. Discuss briefly the supply
schedule and the various factors affecting the supply in the
market.
b. Assume the demand
being perfectly inelastic and supply suddenly doubles due to
innovative technique of production. Explain the changes in the
equilibrium price, and quantity, and also is it advisable to do so
from supplier point of view.
Please explain
briefly.
(C) Use well-labelled diagram(s) to analyze the effect of the
following cases on the market for apples.
(i) A fall in the price of pears.
(ii) Farmers use a new fertilizer that makes apple trees more
productive.
