Question 1

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.19 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.19 -Refer to Figure 3.19. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point B. If supply shifts from S_{2 to}S₁, the equilibrium price will change from ________ and the equilibrium quantity will change from ________.

Accepted Answer

A shift in supply that results in a decrease in price from $7.00 to $5.00 and an increase in quantity from 7 to 10 suggests a rightward shift in the supply curve, increasing supply and thus lowering price while increasing quantity sold.

Question 2

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18 The market is initially in equilibrium at Point B. If demand shifts from D₂ to D₁ and the price of burritos remains constant at $4.00, there will be

Accepted Answer

When demand decreases and price remains constant, the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded, resulting in an excess supply. The specific numbers (200 million pounds) indicate the magnitude of this excess supply based on the shift described.

Question 3

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If demand shifts from D₁ to D₂ and the price of burritos remains constant at $3.00, there will be

Accepted Answer

When demand increases but the price remains constant, it leads to excess demand because more people want to buy the product at the existing price than what is available.

Question 4

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.17 below to answer the questions that follow.  Figure 3.17
-Refer to Figure 3.17. In the Rollerblade market, which is not government controlled, you accurately predict that price will

Accepted Answer

In a market not controlled by the government, if the price increases, the quantity demanded typically falls because consumers are less willing to buy the product at higher prices. Conversely, the quantity supplied rises as producers are more willing to supply the product at higher prices, aiming to maximize profits. This scenario aligns with basic principles of supply and demand.

Question 5

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point B. If demand shifts from D₂ to D₁, the new equilibrium price will be ________ and the new equilibrium quantity will be ________.

Question 6

Related to the Economics in Practice on page 65: Increased preference for quinoa would most likely shift the demand curve for quinoa to the ________ and lead to a(n) ________ in the price of quinoa, ceteris paribus.

Accepted Answer

An increased preference for quinoa would shift the demand curve to the right, indicating an increase in demand. This shift would lead to an increase in price, ceteris paribus, as the market adjusts to the increased demand for quinoa. Therefore, the correct option is C.

Question 7

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.19 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.19 -Refer to Figure 3.19. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If supply shifts from S₁ to S₂ and there is an excess demand of 6 cheeseburgers, the price of cheeseburgers will have

The answer of Refer to the information provided in Figure...

Question 8

Related to the Economics in Practice on page 65: Consumption of quinoa has been on the rise. A grain called teff has been referred to as quinoa's twin and is often consumed in place of quinoa. This would make teff and quinoa ________, and an increase in the price of quinoa should ________ the demand for teff, ceteris paribus.

Accepted Answer

Teff and quinoa are considered substitutes, meaning they can be used in place of each other. If the price of quinoa increases, consumers may switch to teff as a cheaper alternative, increasing the demand for teff.

Question 9

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point B. If demand shifts from D_{2 to}D₁ and there is an excess supply of 200 million pounds of burritos, the price of burritos would be

Accepted Answer

When demand shifts from D_{2 to}D₁, the equilibrium point shifts from Point B to Point A. At Point A, the price of burritos is $4.00, which is higher than the initial price of $3.00. With an excess supply of 200 million pounds of burritos, suppliers will lower the price in order to sell the excess supply, causing the price to fall from $4.00 to $3.00. Therefore, the price of burritos would be $4.00 initially, but it would eventually fall to $3.00 due to the excess supply.

Question 10

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.17 below to answer the questions that follow.  Figure 3.17
-Refer to Figure 3.17. If the current quantity demanded of rollerblades is 150 per week, you accurately predict that in this market

Accepted Answer

If the current quantity demanded is 150 per week and assuming this is above the equilibrium quantity, the price is likely above the equilibrium price, leading to a surplus. To eliminate this surplus, the price will decrease, which will decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded until equilibrium is reached.

Question 11

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.19 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.19 -Refer to Figure 3.19. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If supply shifts from S₁ to S₂ and the price of cheeseburgers remains constant at $5.00, there will be

Accepted Answer

When supply shifts from S₁ to S₂, the quantity supplied increases from 11 to 12, while the quantity demanded remains at 8. Therefore, there is an excess supply of 4 cheeseburgers (12-8=4), leading to an excess demand of 4 cheeseburgers.

Question 12

Related to the Economics in Practice on page 66: Assuming the demand for Baltimore newspapers ________ while the supply of Baltimore newspapers ________, the equilibrium price will definitely decrease.

Accepted Answer

When the demand for Baltimore newspapers decreases while the supply of Baltimore newspapers increases, there is an excess supply of newspapers. This means that there are more newspapers than consumers are willing to buy at the current price. In order to clear the market, suppliers will have to lower the price of the newspapers. Therefore, the equilibrium price will definitely decrease.

Question 13

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18 The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If demand shifts from D₁ to D₂, the new equilibrium price will be ________ and the new equilibrium quantity will be ________.

Accepted Answer

When demand shifts to the right from D₁ to D₂, the new equilibrium is at Point B with a higher price of $4.00 and a higher quantity of 350. Choice C is the only option that matches these values.

Question 14

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18 The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If demand shifts from D₁ to D₂, the equilibrium price will change from ________ and the equilibrium quantity will change from ________.

Accepted Answer

A shift in demand from D₁ to D₂ indicates an increase in demand, which typically results in a higher equilibrium price and a larger equilibrium quantity, matching the changes described in option C.

Question 15

Refer to the information provided in Figure 3.18 below to answer the questions that follow. Figure 3.18 -Refer to Figure 3.18. The market is initially in equilibrium at Point A. If demand shifts from D₁ to D₂ and there is an excess demand of 150 million pounds of burritos, the price of burritos would be

Accepted Answer

When demand increases, leading to an excess demand of 150 million pounds of burritos, the new equilibrium price where demand equals supply would be higher than the initial equilibrium price. Without the specific details of the figure, the correct answer is inferred based on typical supply and demand analysis, where an increase in demand leads to a higher equilibrium price if the supply curve remains unchanged.

If supply shifts from S₁ to S₂, the new equilibrium price will be ________ and the new equilibrium quantity will be ________.

Accepted Answer

When supply shifts from S₁ to S₂, the equilibrium price will increase from $5.00 to $7.00 and the equilibrium quantity will increase from 6 to 7. This is because the increase in supply causes an increase in quantity demanded, which puts upward pressure on the price. The new equilibrium point is at the intersection of the new supply curve and the original demand curve, which is at a higher price and quantity than before. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
