Answer:
A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price
Explanation:
A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal & these curves intersect each other.
Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.
If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)
B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.
Answer: rational
Explanation:
Rational expectations is a way by which individuals make their decisions based on their past experience, self interest, human rationality and the information that they have.
Therefore, when individuals acquire, process, and act on relevant economic information promptly in their own self-interest and investigate its impact on others, they are said to have rational expectations.
Answer:
an indeterminate effect on equilibrium quantity and a fall in equilibrium price.
Explanation:
A normal good is a good whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
If income falls and the good is a normal good, demand would fall. This would lead to a fall in price and quantity.
If cost of input falls, the cost of production would fall and supply would increase. This would lead to an increase in quantity and a fall in price.
The combined effect would an indeterminate effect on equilibrium quantity and a fall in equilibrium price.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
B) The high school graduation rate in Elador is higher than in neighboring countries.
Explanation:
The new technology that Robert wants to install at Elador is supposed to improve productivity and reduce labor but if the technology is installed, it may cause unemployment in Elador because of the high rate of high school graduates in Elador.
The high school graduates would have lesser chance of finding employment if the technology that improves productivity and reduces labor is installed. Because machine would replace tasks that humans could have done, there would be no need to employ human labor thereby increasing unemployment rates.
