Part 1: Suppose that the tin mining market is perfectly competitive. The market demand curve is given by D(P) = 300 – P‚ where D is measured in units per year‚ and P is measured in $ per units. There are many potential entrants into this market‚ all of whom have identical cost curves. These cost curves are summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1 Cost Curve Formula Maginal cost (in $ per unit) MC = 30. Fixed cost per year FC = 100. (Annualized) Capital charge CC = 100. Capacity (in units per year)

gross complements shift demand. Describe how input costs or production costs shift supply. Aggregate individual demand into market demand. Describe how effective price ceilings cause shortages. Compute some special demand curves and some special supply curves from verbal descriptions. Question: A survey indicated that chocolate is Americans’ favorite ice cream flavor. For each of the following‚ indicate the possible effects on demand‚ supply‚ or both as well as equilibrium price and quantity

the cost curves of the last lecture; the prices of factors of production‚ also taken into account by the cost curves; and the demand for its product. Demand Curve Facing the Firm The firm’s demand curve tells how much consumers will buy at each price from a particular firm. (This is distinguished from other kinds of demand curve‚ such as the market demand curve‚ which shows how much consumers will buy at each price from all firms put together.) The shape of the firm’s demand curve is related

Which of these would be associated with a rightward shift in the supply curve? What non-price determinants could lead to a shift in the supply curve? Which would be associated with a movement up

producers’ equilibrium is achieved with isoquants and isocost curves. Answer. PRODUCERS EQUILIBRIUM (Optimum factor combination or least cost combination).: The optimal combination of factor inputs may help in either minimizing cost for a given level of output or maximizing output with a given amount of investment expenditure. In order to explain producer’s equilibrium‚ we have to integrate Iso-quant curve with that of Iso-cost line. Iso-product curve represent different alternative possible combinations

Does asymptotic mean that the normal curve gets closer and closer to the X-axis but never actually touches it? Yes‚ asymptotic means that the curve of a line will approach 0 (the x-axis)‚ but it will not touch 0 and instead will extend to infinity. In this class‚ this applies to the normal continuous distribution and is one of the 4 key characteristics of a normal continuous distribution that our text book discusses. This means that the curve of the line will extend infinitely in both the negative

the ability or the willingness to buy a particular commodity at a given point of time. A‚ B and C are points on the demand curve. Each point on the curve reflects a direct correlation between quantities of Acer Laptops demanded (Q) and corresponding price (P). So‚ at point A‚ the quantity demanded will be Q1 and the price will be P1‚ and so on. The demand relationship curve illustrates the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The higher the price of a good the lower the quantity

simulation is to apply the supply and demand concepts to provide a better understanding on how to use the curves in order to figure out the equilibrium in the market for leasing two bedroom apartments. The simulation will help determine the difference between the movement along and shift of the demand and supply curves. Furthermore‚ how equilibrium can be established after one or both curves shift will be provided. Microeconomics and Macroeconomics Concepts Microeconomics focuses more on the individual

changes in price. If a curve is more elastic‚ then small changes in price will cause large changes in quantity consumed. If a curve is less elastic‚ then it will take large changes in price to effect a change in quantity consumed. Graphically‚ elasticity can be represented by the appearance of the supply or demand curve. A more elastic curve will be horizontal‚ and a less elastic curve will tilt more vertically. When talking about elasticity‚ the term "flat" refers to curves that are horizontal; a
