Homework Answers

Answer #1

11. D) the expectation that the price of leather jackets will fall in the future.
(As price is expected to fall in future so current supply will increase.)

12. C) direct; quantity supplied
(According to law of supply, price and Qs are directly related.)

13. D) The expectation that the price of fax machines will fall in future.
(Expected decrease in price in future will increase current supply.)

14. A) price = $2.00, quantity supplied = 20 and price = $4.00, quantity supplied = 40.
(At $2, Qs = 12 + 8 = 20
At $4, Qs = 2*12 + 2*8 == 24 + 16 = 40)

15. C) the current price is above the equilibrium.
(As QS > QD, so, price is above equilibrium.)

16. C) supplied, an increase in quantity demanded, and the alleviation of a surplus
(As price decreases, Qs decreases, Qd increases.)
