Assume that the market equilibrium price is 50 cents for a pound of bananas, and the quantity sold is roughly 10 pounds. What kind of price control could generate an excess supply of bananas? Select the correct answer below: A price floor of 25 cents per pound A price floor of 50 cents per pound A price floor of 75 cents per pound None of the above

A price floor of 75 cents per pound A basic lesson of a price floor is that when it is set above the market equilibrium price, this will lead to excess supply. Setting a price for a pound of bananas at 75 cents will generate a surplus since the quantity demanded will be lower than the quantity supplied.

The economy is booming, and wages are at an all-time high. How is the demand for cars impacted? In the graph below, show how demand is impacted by this change by shifting the appropriate curve. (Assume that cars are a normal good.)

An increase in income will increase the demand for a normal good, which is demonstrated by a rightward shift in the demand curve. In this case, an increase in income will shift the demand for cars to the right. A rightward shift in demand means that at any price, the quantity demanded will be higher than it was before.

If these two countries specialize according to comparative advantage and then trade with each other, _____________________. Select the correct answer below: Canada will export both televisions and wheat Canada will export wheat and import televisions the United States will export wheat and import televisions the United States will export both televisions and wheat

Canada will export wheat and import televisions

True or false? A surplus is the result of a price set above the equilibrium price. When producers face a surplus, they are willing to increase production even further. This combination of higher quantity and higher price increases industry profits, which are beneficial to producers.

False. By definition a surplus is an excess of supply--that is, quantity demanded cannot match quantity supplied. Firms cannot earn profits from unsold inventory, while production is costly. Since producers cannot find enough buyers at this price, producers in a competitive market will want to cut price and production levels.

Suppose that a car company starts to produce cars using an assembly line which increases productivity drastically. In the graph below, demonstrate the impact on the supply of cars by shifting the appropriate curve.

Improvements in technology make production more efficient and less costly. The introduction of the assembly line did both of these things for cars, causing an increase in supply, or a rightward shift. A rightward shift in supply means that at every given price, the quantity supplied is higher.

At one time, most of the cars produced in Mexico were sold in Mexico. Today, however, Mexico both exports and imports cars. Which of the following is a plausible explanation for this observation? How could comparative advantage explain this scenario? Select the correct answer below: There is no explanation: comparative advantage predicts that a country either exports a product or imports it, not both. The pattern is not due to comparative advantage but due to government restrictions on production. Mexico has a comparative disadvantage in automobiles. Mexico specializes in the production of high-end cars, which it exports, and imports low-end cars that can be produced at lower cost elsewhere.

Mexico specializes in the production of high-end cars, which it exports, and imports low-end cars that can be produced at lower cost elsewhere.

What is the reason the following statement is incorrect? The price of tuition at a specific university increased from what it was the previous year, but enrollment at the university still increased.

choose the best option below that illustrates an example of scarcity: 1. the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone was a success in that shortly after reintroduction the wolves were removed from the endangered species list 2. The value for ivory has increased leading to an increase in the poaching of African Elephants and a decrease in the African Elephant population. 3. Due to an increase in demand for craft beer in Portland, the number of microbreweries has increased. 4. The patent for a pharmaceutical drug expired and the drug is now being replicated by a number of other producers.

The value for ivory has increased leading to an increase in the poaching of African Elephants and a decrease in the African Elephant population.

Assuming a market is currently at the equilibrium price and quantity, what happens when a price ceiling is set above the equilibrium price? Select the correct answer below: There is nothing preventing the price from reaching its equilibrium level. The quantity demanded will rise and the quantity supplied will fall, causing a shortage. The quantity supplied will rise and the quantity demanded will fall, causing a surplus. The price will rise to the price ceiling level.

There is nothing preventing the price from reaching its equilibrium level. When a price ceiling is set above the equilibrium price, there is nothing preventing the price from reaching equilibrium and staying there. Since a price ceiling is a level above which price cannot rise and the equilibrium price is below that level, the price ceiling will not have any real effect on the market.

Assume equilibrium price for lemons is $1.50 for a dozen. If a government believes the price for lemons is too high, and sets a temporary price cap at $1.00 for a dozen, what will happen? Please select two correct answers below. Select all that apply: Too many lemons will be offered for sale. There will be a shortage of lemons. After the price cap is lifted, prices will remain the same. After the price cap is lifted, prices will return to the equilibrium price.

There will be a shortage of lemons. After the price cap is lifted, prices will return to the equilibrium price.

Assuming all other variables that affect supply are held constant, which of the following outcomes happen in the market for DVD players if the price of DVD players increases? Select the correct answer below: The supply curve for DVD players will shift to the left. The supply curve for DVD players will shift to the right There will be an increase in the quantity supplied of DVD players. The quantity supplied of DVD players will remain unchanged.

There will be an increase in the quantity supplied of DVD players.

Assuming all other variables that affect supply are held constant, which of the following outcomes happen in the market for DVD players if the price of DVD players increases? Select the correct answer below: The supply curve for DVD players will shift to the left. The supply curve for DVD players will shift to the right There will be an increase in the quantity supplied of DVD players. The quantity supplied of DVD players will remain unchanged.

There will be an increase in the quantity supplied of DVD players. When price increases, we see a movement along the supply curve, not a shift in the curve. According to the law of supply, a rise in price almost always leads to an increase in the quantity supplied of the good or service in question. Remember, quantity supplied is not the same as supply. Supply refers to the curve and quantity supplied refers to the (specific) point on the curve. Changes in price cause movement along the supply curve, but do not cause the curve to shift.

Which of the following characteristics is a fundamental similarity that nearly all demand curves share? Select the correct answer below: They are curved. They slope upward from left to right. They slope downward from left to right. They are straight lines.

They slope downward from left to right.
