1. If consumers expect the price of some good to rise next week, then we generally observe the price of the good rising this week. Explain this fact using a graph. Show
2. The drought in the plain states has made grain, and therefore feed, quite expensive. Many ranchers cannot afford to feed their cattle, and have sold much of their herd for slaughter. Slaughtering the cows will result in an increase in the supply of beef to the market, which will in turn lead to a decrease in the equilibrium price of beef and an increase in the equilibrium quantity of beef. See graph.
b. Chicken and beef are substitute goods. Illustrate the effect that the slaughter of the cattle herds will have on the equilibrium price and quantity of chicken. As the price of beef decreases, consumers will buy more beef and less chicken. The demand for chicken will decrease, causing a decrease in the equilibrium price and quantity of chicken. See graph. c. As it happens, the slaughter of beef cattle has coincided with a decrease in consumers' income. Assuming that steak is a normal good while hamburgers are an inferior good, use a supply-and-demand diagram for either market to illustrate the combined effect of the two aforementioned events on the equilibrium price and quantity of hamburgers and steak. As consumers' income decreases, the demand for normal goods (such as steak) decreases while the demand for inferior goods (such as hamburgers) increases.
Keep in mind that our conclusion from part a is still valid. A lower price of beef will increase the supply of all goods in which beef is an input. Therefore in each of the two markets in question we deal with simultaneous shifts in supply and demand.
Step One - The market for sugar cane Step Two - The market for rum Step Three - The
market for whiskey What Will Happen To The Equilibrium Price And Quantity Of Beef. Slaughtering the cows will result in an increase in the supply of beef to the market, which will in turn lead to a decrease in the. What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of beef. (c) price falls, quantity falls (demand shifts to the left: Both the equilibrium price and quantity would increase. As consumers’ income decreases, the demand for normal goods (such as steak) decreases while the demand for inferior goods (such as hamburgers) increases. Figure 3.7 the determination of equilibrium price and quantity. Excess demand suggests that the market price
is lower than the equilibrium price, so to. As consumers’ income decreases, the demand for normal goods (such as steak) decreases while the demand for inferior goods (such as hamburgers) increases. The equilibrium price would increase, and the equilibrium quantity would decrease. What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of beef if the price of chicken feed increase?What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of beef if the price of chicken feed increases? (Assume that chicken and beef are substitutes.) Both will increase.
What happens to equilibrium price when price increases?If there is an increase in supply for goods and services while demand remains the same, prices tend to fall to a lower equilibrium price and a higher equilibrium quantity of goods and services.
What will happen to the demand curve for chicken if the price of chicken increases?A change in the price of the good (in this case, chicken) cannot change the demand for chicken because each price is included in the table. A change in price will result in a change in the quantity people are willing to buy.
What will happen to the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price of potatoes if population increases and a new type of potato fungus wipes out 30% of the potato harvest?What will happen to the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price of potatoes if population decreases and a new type of potato fungus wipes out 30% of the potato harvest? Equilibrium quantity will decrease and equilibrium price may increase or decrease.
