A large city has many hotels that rent rooms at a daily price. Suppose the market for hotel rooms in a city is currently in equilibrium (as it is given that supply 1, demand 1 are at equilibrium). Now suppose that a large hotel has been built in the city. Part 1: Use a line drawing tool to show the effect the opening of a new large hotel will have on either the supply of or demand for hotel rooms in the city. Label the curve(s) accordingly. Part 2: Use the double drop line to show the new equilibrium price and quantity in the market for hotel rooms and label them at equilibrium 2.

Suppose that there are 1,000 one-bedroom apartments in a small town and that this number is fixed. The table gives the quantity demand in the market for one-bedroom apartments. Price (Rent per month) Demand (Apartment units) $500 1,600 $600 1,400 $700 1,200 $800 1,000 $900 800 $1,000 600 $1,200 400 (a) What is the equilibrium rental for a one-bedroom apartment? (b) Suppose 200 new one-bedroom apartments are constructed. What happens to the equilibrium rent? (c) Suppose more people move into the town, increasing the demand for one-bedroom apartments by 200 units at each price. What is the new equilibrium price? (Assume the supply remains fixed at 1,200 units).

Think about the market for football tickets. Use the line tool to draw a demand curve for football tickets that obeys the law of demand. Label it D. Use the line tool to draw a supply curve of football tickets that obeys the law of supply. Label it S. Draw one point at the market equilibrium price and quantity. >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question. The equilibrium quantity A. is any quantity at which the quantity supplied is greater than or equal to the quantity demanded B. is determined at the price at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied C. is the quantity demanded at the equilibrium price, but not necessarily the quantity sold D. is the quantity supplied at the equilibrium price, but not necessarily the quantity demanded

Suppose the supply of people who want to be "extras" in a film (people in the background of a film) is completely inclastic, because they will supply their labor to film production companies no matter what wage they are paid. a. Draw a diagram illustrating how the equilibrium wage and equilibrium employment level for extras is determined. b. On the same diagram, illustrate what will happen to the equilibrium wage and employment of extras if the demand in the product market (for films) increases.
