Macmillan Two events occur simultaneously in the market for bicycles. The first is a decrease in the price of raw materials used to produce bicycles. The second is a decrease in the price of scooters. An improvement in solar panel technology will lead to Outward shifts in both the supply and demand for solar panels (only supply shifts outward, demand does not shift). An outward shift in the supply of solar panels and an increase in the quantity of solar panels demanded. An outward shift in the demand for solar panels and a decrease in the quantity of solar panels supplied (demand does not shift outward and supply increases, not decreases). Inward shifts in both the supply and demand for solar panels (both supply and demand do not shift inward).

3. Problems and Applications Q3 Consider the market for electric cars. Assume electric cars are a normal good. For each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of demand or supply are affected. If demand is unaffected by this event because it creates a supply change, select the "None" option under the "Demand Determinant" column. Similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates a demand change, select the "None" option under the "Supply Determinant" column. Event Demand Determinant Supply Determinant Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of electric cars. An improvement in the public transportation network reduces the need to have a car. An economic boom raises people's wealth. A strike by aluminum workers raises the price of aluminum. The price of gas-powered cars falls.

1."University of Ottawa engineers, together with national and international partners, have achieved a world first by manufacturing the first back-contact micrometric photovoltaic cells. The cells, with a size twice the thickness of a strand of hair, have significant advantages over conventional solar technologies, reducing electrode-induced shadowing by 95% and potentially lowering energy production costs by up to three times." Demand and supply theory predicts which of the following will occur in the market for solar energy with this new technology ceteris paribus? ā¢ A. The supply curve for solar energy will shift rightwards. ā¢ B. The demand curve for solar energy will shift leftwards. ā¢ C. The supply curve for solar energy will shift leftwards. ā¢ D. The price of solar energy will move above the equilibrium price. 2."Worldwide market revenues from collaboration software reached over 16.1 billion in 2022 and is forecast to keep increasing, reaching about 52.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2032. Collaboration software enables the sharing, processing and management of files, documents and other data types among several users or systems. Popular examples include Slack and Microsoft Teams" The above expectation will have which ceteris paribus effect on the market for collaboration software? ā¢ A. The supply curve will shift outwards. ā¢ B. The equilibrium price will decrease. ā¢ C. The equilibrium price will increase. ā¢ D. The demand curve will shift outwards. 3."Motorists have been given an early Christmas present after the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announced decreases in the prices of petrol and diesel on Friday. The department said that both grades of petrol would decrease by 65 cents per litre while diesel would decrease by between R2.35 and R2.41 per litre." A ceteris paribus decrease in the price of petrol will have which of the following impacts in the market for consumer goods? ā¢ A. the supply curve for consumer goods shifts to the right. ā¢ B. the market for consumer goods will not be affected by a change in the price of petrol. ā¢ C. the supply curve for consumer goods shifts to the left. ā¢ D. the demand curve for consumer goods shifts to the left.
