How can prices change constantly in an efficient market?

A. New information changes expected and/or required returns requiring traders to buy or sell

B. Traders receive information at different times so their trades cause prices to fluctuate

C. In an efficient market there are enough traders that everyone has a different idea of what the correct price is, so the price is always moving

D. Prices can't change constantly if a market is efficient

Q1-Recognize how changes in supply and demand affect market outcomes and explain the effect of government regulation on prices?

- Use your own words and be sure to support your statements with logic and arguments. Post your comments.

Q2- Also, there are two answers for a student that requires a response:

1- Changes in the supply and demand can affect market outcomes because the supply and demand forces determined the market equilibrium price and quantity. For a particular product or a service the demand function is downward sloping and the supply function is upward sloping. Their interaction determine the equilibrium in the market at which the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded. Changes in supply and demand basically indicate a shift in the supply curve and / or the demand curve. Suppose that the supply curve is unchanged but the demand curve shifts. If the demand is increased and the demand curve is a shifted out both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity will increase. In contrast if it is decreased then both equilibrium price and quantity will decrease. As against if the demand is fixed but the supply is shifted to the right, price level decreases and the quantity increases. In contrast if the supply curve is shifted to the left then the price level increases and the quantity decreases. In this manner changes in the supply and demand can affect the market equilibrium price and quantity
Government regulation on price comes in the form of price floor in which a minimum limit is imposed on the market price and price ceiling in which a maximum limit is imposed on the market price. In case of a price floor the market experiences a surplus of production while in case of a price ceiling in the market experiences a shortage.

2- There is a relationship between supply and demand

The increase in the offered commodity with constant price leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in the quantity

As for the decrease in the commodity offered with the stability of demand, it leads to an increase in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the quantity. The increase in demand with the stability of the commodity offered leads to an increase in the equilibrium price

As for government regulation of prices, it is useful and returns to seeing the interest of the consumer without neglecting the interest of the owner of the product, but in order for some to not exploit the consumer and make him pay a large amount that the offered commodity is not worth.

In order for some not to drop the price of the product madly in order to attract the buyer, which harms other merchants who offer the same product

2. Consider the monetary transmission mechanism. A disturbance to monetary equilibrium which changes the interest rate will affect aggregate demand through

MMV Inc., opened a chain of businesses several years ago that provide quick oil changes and other minor services in conjunction with a convenience operation consisting of a soup, sandwich, and snack bar. The strategy was that as customers brought autos in for oil changes, they would likely use the convenience operation to purchase a sandwich, bowl of soup, beverage, or some other snack while they were waiting for the work to be completed on their autos. The oil change operation occupies 75% of the facility and includes three service bays. The soup, sandwich, and snack bar occupies the remaining 25%. A general manager is responsible for the entire operation, but each segment also has a manager responsible for its individual operation.

Recently, the following annual operating information for the soup, sandwich, and snack bar at one of MMV’s locations caught the general manager’s attention. Sales for the year were $120,000, and cost of sales (food, beverages, and snack items) are 40% of sales revenue. Operating expense information for the convenience operation follows:

While investigating these operating expenses, MMV Inc. determines the following:

Utilities are allocated to each segment based on square footage; however, 50% of the amount allocated to the soup, sandwich, and snack bar results from operating the food equipment.

The general manager’s salary is allocated between the segments based on estimated time spent with each operation. It is determined that 20% of the general manager’s time is spent with the convenience operation.

Advertising is allocated to each segment equally but could be reduced by $2,700 if MMV decided to advertise only the auto services.

Insurance is allocated to each segment based on square footage, but only 25% of the amount allocated to the soup, sandwich, and snack bar results directly from its operation.

Property taxes and building depreciation are allocated to each segment based on square footage.

Required:

a. From the preceding information, calculate the operating income from the soup, sandwich, and snack bar operation that has caught the general manager’s attention.

b. Identify whether each of these operating expenses is relevant to the decision of discontinuing the soup, sandwich, and snack bar operation, if relevant, provide the relevant values.

c. If MMV Inc. discontinues the soup, sandwich, and snack bar operation, how much will operating income increase or decrease for this location?

d. Should MMV continue or discontinue the soup, sandwich, and snack bar operation at this location?
