Suppose there is a linear downward-sloping demand curve and a linear upward-sloping supply curve for some good. The price of a substitute good decreases and the price of an input to the production process also decreases. Both changes occur simultaneously. Graph the original demand and supply curves, and then graph new curves after the substitute good and input prices decrease. How will the equilibrium price and quantity change after the substitute and input prices decrease? Explain your answer in English and using a graph.
thank you for your help.
A reduction in the price of the substitute will shift the demand curve to the left and it will decrease the price and quantity demanded in the market.
When the price of the input decrease it will shift the supply curve to the right. the new price will be lower and the quantity will increase. the graph is shown below. the price will decrease but the quantity at the equilibrium will be indeterminate and can be anywhere between Q and Q1. THe price will reduce to $P1. Quantity will be between Q (equilibrium E1) or E2.
Due to reduction in the price of the price of the goods will also fall and due to reducing in the price of the input the price will decrease but the quantity at equilibrium will be in determinate. a. S1 $P SP1 E2 D1 Q Q1 Quantity

in a market with an upward sloping supply curve and a downward sloping demand curve, when there is an excess supply, a. b. c. The actual price must be higher that the equilibrium price. The actual price must be lower that the equilibrium price. The quantity demanded is higher than the equilibrium quantity.
please answer Question 4 2.6 pts Assuming Demand is downward sloping and Supply is upward sloping (as we usually do), what happens to equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q) of a good when Demand decreases? P and Q should not change P increases; Q increases P increases; Q decreases. P decreases, decreases. P decreases; Q increases. Question 5 2.6 pts Suppose that the supply of Blu Ray players decreases (i.e., shifts to the left). Using our standard supply and demand...
Please answer DQuestion 4 2.6 pts Assuming Demand is downward sloping and Supply is upward sloping (as we usually do), what happens to equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q) of a good when Demand decreases? P and Q should not change. P increases Q P increases; Q decreases P decreases; Q decreases P decreases, Q increases increases.
suppose that the market for product x is characterized by a typical, downward-sloping, linear demand curve and a typical , upward-sloping, linear supply curve. suppose the price of supply is 0.7. will the dead weight loss form a $3 tax per unit be smaller if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is 0.6 or if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is 1.5?
Consider a market free of government intervention and having a downward sloping demand curve and an upward sloping supply curve intersecting at some price P0. Write a short explanation of why any price higher than P0cannot be a free market equilibrium. Write a shortexplanation of why any price lower than P0cannot be a free market equilibrium. Now decrease supply a great deal and decrease demand until the curves no longer intersect (that is, the curves meet the vertical axis without...
A linear downward-sloping demand curve has price elasticities (in absolute values) that increase as price decreases. remain constant along the demand curve. decrease as price decreases. are greater than or equal to 1. Suppose a hurricane decreased the supply of oranges so that the price of oranges rose from $120 a ton to $180 a ton and quantity sold decreased from 800 tons to 240 tons. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand? 0,11 0.37 9.33...
When the demand curve is vertical and the supply curve is upward sloping a rise in the input price increase marginal cost by $1, decreases the firm's profit by $1 a drop in the input that lowers the marginal cost by $1, doubles the firm's profit (wrong answer) a drop in the input price that lowers the marginal cost by $1, decrease the output price by $1 a rise the input price that increase the marginal cost by $1, doubles...
In a competitive market with a linear upward-sloping supply curve and a linear downward-sloping demand curve, the government imposes a $10 tax per unit bought and sold. The tax causes the equilibrium quantity to fall from 113 units to 101 units. The deadweight loss of this tax is $______
1) Consider a normal market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve. Which of the following cases would definitely result in a decrease in consumer surplus? For each case, assume that the market is initially in equilibrium and that everything else is held constant except for the change described in the case Case 1: The supply curve shifts to the left. Case 2: The supp Case 3: The government imposes a binding price ceiling. Case 4: The...
In the supply and demand marriage market explain the logic behind the downward sloping demand curve. Draw the demand curve in the marriage market. Now assume that prostitution becomes legal (and that some men view prostitution as an imperfect substitute for marriage). On the same graph, draw the new demand curve and discuss how it changes. (Assume the number of men in the marriage market did not change.)
