Assignment 4.1: Equilibrium Price and Equilibrium Quantity
Introduction
There are two parts in this assignment. You will need to develop one graph in Part I and a series of graphs for Part II.
Part I: Demand and Supply Curves
Table 4.1 represents supply and demand for a piece of medical equipment.
- On the same graph, show the demand curve and supply curve for this piece of medical equipment.
- Identify where the market equilibrium is on the graph.
- State the Pe and Qe for this piece of medical equipment.
Part II: Changing Pe and Qe
For this part of the assignment, you do not use the numbers provided for Part I. For each of the following situations, create a graph of
equilibrium in a market. Then, graphically show how each curve will shift. Indicate the direction in which each shift will occur. Finally, show how the Pe and Qe are affected by each situation.
- A good is a normal good and income increases.
- Consumers expect the price of a good to be lower in the future.
- There is a decrease in resource prices.
