DEMAND & SUPPLY: Consider the market for bananas which is known to be perfectly competitive. The market is characterized by the following relationships: QD = 10,000 – 140P QS = 7500 + 125P Plot the demand curve and the supply curve on a graph. Clearly label the axes and the intercepts. Why is the demand-curve downward-sloping? What is the slope of the demand curve? Why is the supply-curve upward-sloping? What is the slope of the supply curve? What is the...

Draw a graph with two demand curves – one that is fairly elastic (labeled De) and one that is fairly inelastic (labeled Di). Draw a supply curve and label it S. Suppose this market sees an increase in the price of this good due to the imposition of a tax. Draw the new supply curve and label it S2. Compare the impact in the market of the shift in supply between the elastic demand curve and the inelastic demand curve....

4. Consider two markets, A and B, that have different price elasticities of demand and supply. Market A has price elastic demand and supply functions. Market B has very price inelastic demand and supply functions. a. Graph demand and supply curves for these two markets and describe how the curves differ across the 2 markets. b. Suppose both markets are subject to shocks that shift demand or supply from week to week. Further suppose that the shocks are similar (in...
