1 Problem Set 3 I. Problem 1. Explain each of the following statements using supply-and-demand diagrams. a) When the weather turns warm in New England every summer, the price of hotel rooms in Caribbean resorts plummets. Solution. b) When a war breaks out in the Middle East, the price of gasoline rises, and the price of a used Cadillac falls. Solution. 1
2 The price of gasoline rises because war negatively affects its supply. As the price of gasoline rises, the demand for used Cadillac s will decline and the demand for used Cadillacs will shift to the left. In addition, people who already own Cadillacs, will try to sell them and supply of Cadillacs will shift to the right. Overall, the price of Cadillacs will drop. Problem 2. An increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded but not the quantity supplied. Is this statement true or false? Explain Solution: False. Problem 3. Consider the markets for DVD movies, TV screens, and tickets at movie theaters. a. For each pair, identify whether they are complements or substitutes: DVDs and TV screens Solution. complements DVDs and movie tickets Solution. substitutes TV screens and movie tickets Solution. substitutes b. Suppose a technological advance reduces the cost of manufacturing TV screens. Draw a diagram to show what happens in the market for TV screens. Solution. 2
3 c. Draw two more diagrams to show how the change in the market for TV screens affects the markets for DVDs and movie tickets. Solution. Problem 5. The market for pizza has the following demand and schedules a. Graph the demand and supply curves. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? Solution. The equilibrium price is 6$ at which the quantity supplied equals to quantity demanded. 3
4 b. If the actual price in this market were above the equilibrium price, what would drive the market toward the equilibrium? Solution. If the price were above the equilibrium one, there would be a surplus in the market and firms would drop prices. c. If the actual price in this market were below the equilibrium price, what would drive the market toward the equilibrium? Solution. There would be a shortage and suppliers would increase the price. I.
