In very hot weather, an ice cream manufacturer decides to increase the price of its product by 10%. It is able to increase production by 6% one week after the price increase was announced. How can the PES be described?

B

The short-run supply of fresh flowers for export from Kenya to the UK is less price elastic than the supply of green beans. Why is this?

Fresh flowers cannot be stored for as long as green beans.

Which of these estimates of PES is most likely to apply to the supply of raw coffee beans? a)0.1 b)1 c)1.1 d)10

A

A firm supplies 10 units of a product at $48 per unit. If the PES is 4, how many units will the firm supply at a price of $60 per unit?

A market is in disequilibrium when:

A there is excess supply in the market.

$8

A market is in equilibrium. There is then a fall in supply and an increase in demand for the product. How does this affect the equilibrium price and quantity?

A

A market is in equilibrium. If there is an increase in supply and no change in demand, how does this affect the equilibrium position?

Equilibrium price falls and equilibrium quantity rises.

From the diagram, calculate the producer surplus.

b+e+f

Producer surplus is:

the difference between what a producer is willing to accept and what is actually paid.

Consumer surplus is :

when there is a difference in the price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and its market price.
