(C5/D/SC/2) What effect will the following combined events have on the market equilibrium position for donkeys? 1. An increase in demand for South African donkeys due to the use of donkeys as an ingredient in Chinese traditional medicine. 2. A drought in the donkey breeding regions of South Africa. A The equilibrium price will remain unchanged and the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. B The equilibrium price will decrease but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. C The equilibrium price will increase but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be determined.

Suppose we observe a fall in the price of good A and a decrease in the quantity of good A bought and sold. Which one of the following is a likely explanation? A. The supply of A decreased B. The law of demand is violated C. The demand for A decreased D. The demand for A increased E. The supply of A increased 2. Which of the following shifts the supply curve for good X leftward? A. a decrease in the wages of workers employed to produce X B. a situation in which the quantity demanded of X exceeds the quantity supplied of X C. a situation in which the quantity supplied of X exceeds the quantity demanded of X D. an increase in the cost of the machinery used to produce X E. a technological advance in the production of X 3. If A is an inferior good and consumer income rises, the demand for A A. increases, and the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity increase B. increases, and the equilibrium price rises, but the equilibrium quantity decreases C. decreases and the equilibrium price falls, but the equilibrium quantity increases D. decreases, the equilibrium price rises, and the equilibrium quantity decreases E. decreases, and the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity decrease.

Answer the following questions using demand and supply analysis with the step by step explanation. a. Suppose the current issue of the New York Times reports an outbreak of mad chicken disease in Nebraska, as well as the discovery of a new breed of chicken that gains more weight than existing breeds that consume the same amount of food [Note: the effect of mad chicken disease is substantial]. How will these developments affect the equilibrium price and quantity of chickens sold in the United States? b. What will happen to the equilibrium quantity and price of potatoes if population increases and a new, higher-yielding variety of potato plant is developed? [Note: the effect of the new variety of potato is greater] c. What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of apples if apples are discovered to help prevent colds and a fungus kills 10 percent of existing apple trees? [Note: the effect of fungus is superior] d. What will happen to the equilibrium quantity and price of corn if the price of butter (a complement) increases and the price of fertilizer decreases? [Note: the effect of the butter’s price is larger]

Suppose that two things happen simultaneously in the market for fish. First, a new technology allows fishing boats to catch more fish while using the same number of crew-members. At the same time a new study shows that eating fish at least three times a week helps prevent heart attacks. How will the market for fish respond? A. Equilibrium quantity will increase but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information. B. Equilibrium price and quantity will both increase. C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information. D. Equilibrium price will decrease but equilibrium quantity will increase. E. Equilibrium price will increase but the effect on the equilibrium quantity is unknown without more information.
