Perfectly
inelastic demand means buyer are ready to demand same quantity at
different price level. If demand is perfectly elastic and price of
input rises, producer cost of production rises as a result SS curve
ie., supply curve shift to the left and new supply curve is S'S' .
Due to decrease in supply price of drugs will increase and since
demand is perfectly inelastic then quantity will remain same as
shown in the graph at OQ.
If demand curve is not
perfectly inelastic then it will be downward sloping and supply
curve is upward sloping so initial equilibrium is at point E .
Initial price is OP and Initial quantity is OQ.
Now is price of input rises then supply curve shifts to the left as a result equilibrium point increases to OP1 and equilibrium quantity decreases to OQ1.
This will happen because now demand is negatively related with the price so as price increases demand for drugs tend to decrease. Therefore equilibrium quantity will also decrease.
Suppose that the demand for a drug is perfectly inelastic and the market is initially in...
4. Suppose that the demand for a drug is perfectly inelastic and the market is initially in equilibrium. Suppose further that there is an increase in the price of an input required to produce of the drug. Everything else held constant, graphically (and in words) illustrate the impact of this action in the market for this drug. What will happen to equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? How would your answer be different if demand was not perfectly inelastic? (7 points)
An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market will face demand. Perfectly inelastic Upward sloping Perfectly elastic Cannot be determined from the information Downward sloping Considering jackets and sweaters, to graph an Engel curve of jackets what must be true? The price of sweaters changes The price of jackets changes Income changes Cannot be determined from the information O Utility is held constant
19. When demand is perfectly inelastic, what is the effect of an increase in the wage paid by producers on equilibrium price and quantity?
Suppose there exists a market for bicycles. The supply and the demand curves in this market are given by the following equations where P is the price per bicycle measured in dollars and Q is the quantity of bicycles: Market Demand Curve: P = 1500 – 3Q Market Supply Curve: P = Q + 300. Given the above information and holding everything else constant, find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.
Suppose we are analyzing the market for hot chocolate. Graphically illustrate the impact each of the following would have on demand or supply. Also show how equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity would change i. Producers expect the price of hot chocolate to increase next month. J. Currently, the price of hot chocolate is $0.50 per cup above equilibrium.
33. If the short-run supply curve for fresh fruit is perfectly inelastic and the demand curve is a downward- sloping straight line, what is the effect of a per unit tax on equilibrium price and quantity, and what is the incidence on consumers? Why? Illustrate your answer with diagram.(9')
Suppose the market for crude oil experiences a decrease in demand. Assuming a relatively inelastic supply for crude oil, this market shock leads to a relatively smaller decrease in equilibrium price. Include a graph to illustrate and explain in 2-3 sentences
34. The supply of waterfront property at Lake Chestermere is perfectly inelastic. If the population of Calgary and the surrounding areas decrease, this will result in? a. an increase in the equilibrium price only. b. a decrease in the equilibrium price only. c. an increase in the equilibrium quantity and a decrease in price. d. an increase in the equilibrium quantity with no increase in price. e. a decrease in equilibrium quantity and a decrease in price. 35. If a...
Question 10: Suppose that, based on market demand and market supply, the market equilibrium price for a pound of tangerines is Pe = $3, and the equilibrium quantity is le = 1,700. Suppose that policymakers decide to impose a price of Pm = $5 per pound. This results in a new quantity supplied at this price, namely Qs = 2,200; as well as a new quantity demanded at this price, namely (p = 1,100. Show graphically and calculate the impact...
Suppose the demand for a Czech novel translated into English is perfectly inelastic. Assume the initial price of the translated novel is 21.00 and the quantity demanded is 836 copies per year. If the price of the translated novel increases by $1.00 then the quantity demanded will be ____ copies per year Next, suppose the demand for a mystery novel by Stephen King is infinitely elastic. In this example, assume the initial price of the novel is $20.00 and the...
