Given a certain event/scenario‚ (a) analyze the curve/s affected‚ shifts or movements and the direction‚ and (b) effect to equilibrium price (P*) and equilibrium quantity (Q*) Scenario 1 a. Prices of optical drives suddenly increase The production cost has increased so the supply decreases and eventually the price go up. The supply curve shifts to the left. b. A new market-standard

Movement along the demand curve: There are many factors determining demand- the prime one being price. Price and quantity are the two components which form the demand curve. Any change in these two variables doesn’t cause a shift in the demand curve but a movement along what is already existent. When prices vary‚ quantity is altered. Usually‚ applying the law of demand‚ more will be consumed when prices drop and vice versa. When more goods are consumed due to a drop in prices there is an expansion

If expected inflation is higher‚ newly set prices and wages will be higher. d Draw the relevant AS curves showing what will happen if expected inflation falls. Label everything and discuss (typed). When the inflation falls‚ the AS curves shit upward‚ because the price level will increase.

Supplement to Unit - II BEHIND THE DEMAND CURVE: THE THEORY OF CONSUMER CHOICE Here‚ the purpose is to explain the derivation of the demand function and to provide an understanding of the consumer decision-making process. Consumer Preferences Individuals make choices based on their personal tastes and preferences. Tastes and preferences are shaped by many factors. Some of the factors are family environment‚ physical condition‚ age‚ sex‚ education‚ religion‚ and location. In the analysis that

Given that supply is fixed then at any given quantity of money (M1) there will be a corresponding demand that varies inversely to the price level‚ i.e. a downward sloping demand curve and there will be an equilibrium price level that ‘clears the market’‚ i.e. demand equals supply. If the quantity of money is increased (M2) the demand curve will shift to the right‚ i.e. at the same price level demand will increase but‚ again‚ supply is fixed. A new equilibrium will be established at the same level

Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 – 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50. a. Given the above information‚ what is this monopolist’s profit

An oligopoly describes a market situation in which there are limited or few sellers. Each seller knows that the other seller or sellers will react to its changes in prices and also quantities. This can cause a type of chain reaction in a market situation.

Often times oligopolistic industries supply a similar or identical product. These
