Assume that this market has four firms selling guitars as listed in the table below. Which of the following is true?
a. At a price of $50 the quantity supplied by the market will be 84.
b. At a price of $110, the quantity supplied by the market will be 30.
c. If the price increases from $50 to $80, the quantity supplied by the market will increase by 18 units.
d. If the price increases from $80 to $110, the quantity supplied by the market will decrease by 24 units.
e. If the price increases from $80 to $110, the quantity supplied by the market will increase by 54 units.

c. If the price increases from $50 to $80, the quantity supplied by the market will increase by 18 units.

*At a price of $50, the firms in the market want to sell a total of 12 units. At a price of $80, the firms in the market want to sell a total of 30 units. Therefore an increase in price from $50 to $80 will increase the quantity supplied by 18.

In the graph below, what quantity will be supplied at a price of $2.65?

150

*In this graph, follow the price of $2.65 all the way to the right where is intersects the supply curve. From that point, move down to the horizontal axis to find the quantity of 150. This quantity is the amount that producers would want to sell at a price of $2.65.

b. an increase in price and a decrease in quantity
c. a decrease in price and an increase in quantity
d. a decrease in price and a decrease in quantity

b. an increase in price and a decrease in quantity

*Hide Feedback
The increased price of the raw material would have an impact on the producers first, shifting the supply curve to the left. As a result, the equilibrium price would increase and the equilibrium quantity would decrease. Basically, producers would be forced to sell for a higher price and would end up selling fewer leather wallets. This is another case in which a graph may help.

a. an increase in price and an increase in quantity

*The lower price for cell phones would increase the demand for cellular service, depicted as demand shifting to the right. As a result, the equilibrium price and quantity would increase. Basically, consumers would purchase more and more cell phones and cellular service. Eventually, service providers would raise their prices. See the graph below.

If the price of Toyotas increased, what would happen in the market for Hondas?
a. an increase in price and an increase in quantity
b. an increase in price and a decrease in quantity
c. a decrease in price and an increase in quantity
d. a decrease in price and a decrease in quantity

a. an increase in price and an increase in quantity

*The higher price for Toyotas would increase the demand for a substitute such as a Honda, depicted as demand shifting to the right. As a result, the equilibrium price and quantity would increase. Car buyers might be more inclined to purchase Hondas because of the relative change in price. However, the Honda dealers and salespersons will eventually raise their prices in response to the greater demand for their cars. See the graph below.

Based on the graph below, what price are we most likely to see in this market? At this price, what amount of goods will be bought/sold?

price = $2.25 ; quantity = 115

*We would expect any free market to move to the equilibrium price and quantity. To locate this point, find the intersection of supply and demand. In this graph, the intersection of supply and demand is found at a price of $2.25 and a quantity of 115. That is the amount that we would expect to be both bought and sold in this market.

If the equilibrium price of new homes decreased and the equilibrium quantity decreased also, which curve must have moved in which direction?
a. supply increased
b. supply decreased
c. demand increased
d. demand decreased

d. demand decreased
