The popular and financial press regularly report on economic events, but the description is usually quite different from the theoretical model provided in a microeconomics textbook. This problem set provides an opportunity to practice supply and demand analysis using excerpts from articles published in the Wall Street Journal. For each of the following 12 economic circumstances, show the shift of supply and/or demand curves use an arrow to show the shift in the curves, the change in price and the quantity demanded. To insert lines and arrows in MS Word, click on Insert on the upper menu bar. Next, click the drop down menu under Shapes. Select the shape youd wish to insert, then use the mouse to insert the line or arrow into the graph. Below the graphical analysis, write a short explanation explaining your analysis. Heres an example of the graphical analysis SHAPE MERGEFORMAT This example shows an increase in the demand curve, perhaps as a result of an increase in income. The shift in the demand curve leads to a higher price and quantity demanded. For each problem, explain why the curve(s) shifted. Problem 1 - Conflict fears drive up crude prices. A military conflict forces the shut-down of major crude oil pipeline. World oil prices soared to an 18 month high. Show the effects in the crude oil market. SHAPE MERGEFORMAT Explanation Problem 2 Egypts Gaza Crackdown Hammers Economy An aggressive crackdown by Egypts interim government on smuggling tunnels between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is crushing the Palestinian enclaves economy, sparking concerns it could fuel a militant backlash. To get around the blockade, Gazans smuggle goods, and the tunnels closure has sent prices soaring in the past three weeks. Many Gazans now buy the Israel-shipped fuel for seven shekels (2) a liter -- more than twice as much as that smuggled from Egypt. The cost of cement, another major smuggled item, has reached 1,500 a ton from 1,000, said Ahmad Abdul-Rahman, a merchant. Show the effects in the Gaza market for goods and services. Explanation Problem 3 Dutch Economy Faces Stagnation The Albert Cuyp market here, famous for its offerings of cheap clothing and exotic foods, is one of the busiest in the Netherlands. But while it still attracts plenty of shoppers, customers are increasingly wary of spending their money there, said Nicolas Steur, a 50-year-old fishmonger. Revenue at his stall, where he sells fresh haddock, raw herring and other seafood, has fallen by 20 compared with four years ago. We still have about the same amount of customers, Mr. Steur said. But they spend less money. People are cutting down on their expenses. Show the effects in the Albert Cuyp market. Explanation Problem 4 - Farmers Opt to Dump Supplies as Weather Forecast Dashes Hopes for Price Jump. U.S. soybean supplies have been tight since last years severe drought cut production. Many farmers held some of last years soybeans in storage, waiting to see if they could sell them at a higher price this summer, when supplies are tightest before the next harvest. This week, many of those farmers decided it was time to sell. Weather conditions for this years U.S. crop are mostly favorable, which means a large harvest this fall could push prices lower. Historically high cash prices for soybeans early this week also lured farmers to start selling. The result has been a collapse in cash markets over the past two days. Show the effects of the changes in the last two days. Explanation Problem 5 - China lures the worlds pilots. The rising middle class in China means millions more people are taking to the skies. Theres a tsunami of retirement which is now under way in the airline industry. Chinese airlines have raised their pay offers to foreign pilots by up to 30 in the past 18 months. Show the effects in the global pilot labor market. Explanation Problem 6 - Companies unplug from grid, delivering a jolt to utilities. On a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River, two big wind turbines crank out electricity for Kroger Co.s Turkey Hill Dairy in rural Lancaster County, Pa., allowing it to save 25 on its power bill for the past two years. Show the effect on the public electric utility company. Explanation Problem 7 Rising oil prices. Rising oil prices cause airlines to adjust flight schedules. Show the effect on airline prices and quantity demanded. Explanation Problem 8 Federal Aviation Administration increases minimum pilot qualifications. Regional airlines are concerned that higher flight hour requirements for new pilots will increase costs. Show the effect on passenger ticket prices and quantity demanded. Explanation Problem 9 Europe levies new tax on airline tickets. A new tax on airline tickets has raised concerns the European airline traffic will fall. Show the effect on airline ticket prices and quantity demanded. Explanation Problem 10 - More Doctors Steer Clear of Medicare Fewer American doctors are treating patients enrolled in the Medicare health program for seniors, reflecting frustration with its payment rates and pushback against mounting rules, according to health experts -- just as millions of Americans are poised to gain access to such coverage under the new health law next year. Some Americans may have difficulty finding doctors who will take their new benefits or face long waits for appointments with those who do. Some experts attribute the rise in defections to Medicare payment rates that havent kept pace with inflation and the threat of more cuts to come. Under a budgetary formula enacted by Congress in 1997, physicians could see Medicare reimbursements slashed by 25 in 2014 unless Congress intervenes to delay the cuts, which it has done several times. Show the effects on Medicare patients. Hint Note that some patients may have trouble finding doctors. Explanation Problem 11 Wage-Rise Report Sees Fewer Jobs, Less Poverty President Barack Obamas quest to raise the federal minimum wage to 10.10 an hour would eliminate about 500,000 jobs by 2016 but increase pay for millions of Americans and lift nearly a million out of poverty, a Congressional Budget Office report found. Analyze the labor market with a minimum wage of 10.10 per hour. Explanation Problem 12 Rent Control Many of the proponents of price ceilings argue that government-mandated maximum prices, such as rent controls in New York City, simply reduce producers profits and do not affect the quantity supplied of a good on the market. If the relevant supply and demand curves are as pictured below, show whether this belief is correct. Explanation Problem 13 - Price Controls Rent controls limit the rent to Pc. Show the Lost Social Welfare (known as Deadweight loss). You can do so by inserting the curve shape which can be drawn around the deadweight loss. Explanation Problem 14 Supply and demand Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd 50 P and Qs 1/2P 10. What the equilibrium quantity and price in this market Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus if the price floor is 42 is imposed on this market. Determine the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage if a price ceiling of 30 is imposed on this market. Problem 15 Supply Suppose the supply function for product X is given by Qsx -50 0.5Px 5Pz. How much of product X is supplied when Px 500 and Pz 30 How much of product X is supplied when Px 250 and Pz 10 S D Q P Pc hQixs5ES/GHEV/4lo6Dwz0HX/Gf_2M5--LQ RzWE8eO.ir-.HnXOk2u626fUUN cF(_oEefoTV87T@p.P _ro36OiX1r@Wc5OdPL13II 9cayXyLMN982NM TF@AhczsQg9 6C Z9lm)zX4Hz eo_p7lpyli_Ex X wk8C Wc-Y1io_(J bTtm8Lmqk@4HoIRN4CSSs,BveC3FNCZ7/AFe1 -2X90Uqrt8 56@sv P@6shl N Dy _5,wyrDcKrZ6NU,OgpQyqIrZp2rTKS QpZ(gn_DMRb qZNuOOSuL5S@VsbmzuDuyAuHDINkPfrZ8-3sCqz8_cs1 52o8w sZN Uhl@ kGIINhd5YzcH.ii89-m,GypHeRX92SiGii8taVX/_oxL59SRrZ/GduyAKt9/ 5Nk_s_NypgSHu9-MrPNagSu89-/ _pZm5phe5C5Cic 8w9A,/46(8B CJl1VwqI9gSdCi-grUU4Q-r bGwPu8xiMY sZaT7 nZN AyoPPCa1e4w 6/ g q.,5MZJCQ1VR7OdBF@ YW Hx9DIFmI5LxiJqYdJJqOV psphh4 pN LQ1K)Y/9I_BZ/9BePkd-z_r/jD KhJs6C BpLV2Bcw9 w84 wUwp)Gn2X.21 wwALD BJ,H1_cZk1O@geg D4(y(@Yotm 8 e.drT.7 d.z D(P8qbVofQmWY5dWd@,Xov_VF,Ze2ULUnTveM_kZ ixhK6epC Ht._Ula3xE1cB)Vrb_yVOGc3Vtjlie5kDq/ go8YcI_Wu_ca e q l7, Fh YJTRqPv 1wPq9.YF QayI3Tuqct.SOg7l3mnD4722n6TCLH6V.rb/ L3L9YkDLWfd P9P X/A7.dYp9zWcFmpeu LNnBoYx l lTl 6 I6 zPcYeo18o1@ZauKS.BqHyO,NsZwg,6i_pZn N17.ui gCffbsZAE84VmnM PrkdA/06hKm(6ph9w. , ps6i(sCo3Tz @xEBebM(7AhqK2L66wPezhq .gRC ac@o_,vlogRmmE Y, dXiJ(x( I_TS 1EZBmU/xYy5g/GMGeD3Vqq8K)fw9 xrxwrTZaGy8IjbRcXI u3KGnD1NIBs RuKV.ELM2fi V vlu8zH (W uV4(Tn 7_m-UBww_8(/0hFL)7iAs),Qg20ppf DU4p MDBJlC5 2FhsFYn3E69 45Z5k8Fmw- dznZ xJZp /P,)KQk5qpN8KGbe Sd17 paSR 6Q iFUnZ, @e(DAi OXBPsth_)z7ZG5rkxD).tjJX/_Ou/Llz)//UdiH hQixs5ES/GHEV/4lo6Dwz0HX/Gf_2M5--LQ RzWE8eO.ir-.HnXOk2u626fUUN cF(_oEefoTV87T@p.P _ro36OiX1r@Wc5OdPL13II 9cayXyLMN982NM TF@AhczsQg9 6C Z9lm)zX4Hz eo_p7lpyli_Ex X wk8C Wc-Y1io_(J bTtm8Lmqk@4HoIRN4CSSs,BveC3FNCZ7/AFe1 -2X90Uqrt8 56@sv P@6shl N Dy _5,wyrDcKrZ6NU,OgpQyqIrZp2rTKS QpZ(gn_DMRb qZNuOOSuL5S@VsbmzuDuyAuHDINkPfrZ8-3sCqz8_cs1 52o8w sZN Uhl@ kGIINhd5YzcH.ii89-m,GypHeRX92SiGii8taVX/_oxL59SRrZ/GduyAKt9/ 5Nk_s_NypgSHu9-MrPNagSu89-/ _pZm5phe5C5Cic 8w9A,/46(8B CJl1VwqI9gSdCi-grUU4Q-r bGwPu8xiMY sZaT7 nZN AyoPPCa1e4w 6/ g q.,5MZJCQ1VR7OdBF@ YW Hx9DIFmI5LxiJqYdJJqOV psphh4 pN LQ1K)Y/9I_BZ/9BePkd-z_r/jD KhJs6C BpLV2Bcw9 w84 wUwp)Gn2X.21 wwALD BJ,H1_cZk1O@geg D4(y(@Yotm 8 e.drT.7 d.z D(P8qbVofQmWY5dWd@,Xov_VF,Ze2ULUnTveM_kZ ixhK6epC Ht._Ula3xE1cB)Vrb_yVOGc3Vtjlie5kDq/ go8YcI_Wu_ca e q l7, Fh NS u P-A8L h7.AMK2muZh, YJTRqPv 1wPq9.YF QayI3Tuqct.SOg7l3mnD4722n6TCLH6V.rb/ L3L9YkDLWfd P9P X/A7.dYp9zWcFmpeu LNnBoYx l lTl 6 I6 zPcYeo18o1@ZauKS.BqHyO,NsZwg,6i_pZn N17.ui gCffbsZAE84VmnM PrkdA/06hKm(6ph9w. , ps6i(sCo3Tz @xEBebM(7AhqK2L66wPezhq .gRC ac@o_,vlogRmmE oqvV3j1t uTk_S6iFIhc2PlXXwE J1zv, 1LQ_d0DjTKQzSZaWOjpMKY h54ee4K F9 swXCp1fsL SJqmxvCA ZtN E.
