Question

Label each of the following scenarios with the correct combination of price change and quantity change. In some scenarios, it may not be possible from the information given to determine the direction of a particular price change or a particular quantity change. We will symbolize those cases as, respectively, "P?" and "Q?". a. On a hot day, both demand for lemonade and supply of lemonade increase. b. On a cold day, both demand for ice cream and the supply of ice cream decrease. c. When Hawaii's Mt. Kilauea erupts violently, the demand on the part of tourists for sightseeing flights increases but the supply of pilots willing to provide these dangerous flights decreases. d. In a hot area of Arizona where they generate a lot of their electricity with wind turbines, the demand for electricity falls on windy days as people switch off their air conditioners and enjoy the breeze. But at the same time, the amount of electricity supplied increases as the wind turbines spin faster.

00:02 Hello, let's explore all these four scenarios.

00:06 Let's start with a.

00:08 And for each scenario, let's determine what are the changes in demand and supply.

00:15 So i will put here demand, supply, and as you ask me, price and quantity.

00:26 So in the first scenario, both demand and supply, increase.

00:31 So we have increase in demand and increase in supply.

00:38 So increase in demand will increase both price and quantity.

00:43 And increase in supply will decrease the price and increase the quantity.

00:49 So there is positive effect for quantity.

00:52 It will increase anyway because both changes, they both increase quantity.

00:59 But for price it's a...

01:01 It's ambiguous because increase in demand will increase the price and increase in supply will decrease the price.

01:10 So for price we don't know.

01:13 I put the question mark okay, next scenario is demand and supply both decrease and here we have the opposite case if they both decrease they both decrease the quantity.

01:33 So so quantity will decrease anyway.

01:36 And for price, again, it depends.

01:39 The decrease in demand will decrease the price.

01:42 The decrease in supply will increase the price...
