A change in consumer’s expectations causes a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain. A change in price of the goods results in a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain (Word count: 250 words max.) Buyers' expectations about future prices can affect the demand curve. If consumers expect prices to increase, they buy more of a product now, and the demand curve moves to the right. A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows: Price Quantity demanded Rs.230 70 210 90 190 110 170 130 Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not. Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for…

Which of the following is true about quantity supplied? * The quantity supplied of a good is equal to the difference between the quantity available and the quantity desired by all consumers and producers. The quantity supplied of a good is the same thing as the quantity demanded at each price. The quantity supplied of a good is the amount that the producers are planning to sell at a particular price during a given time period. The quantity supplied of a good is the amount the firm would sell if it faced no resource constraints.
1. Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output comes from other countries. Suppose that the total demand for wheat in the U.S. wheat market is QDT = 3,244 – 283P, where P is the price measured in dollars per bushel and Q is the quantity of wheat expressed in millions of bushels per year. Of the total demand, total domestic demand was QD,US = 1,700 – 107P. Total supply of wheat in the U.S. market is QST = 1,944 + 207P. As a result of the ongoing trade war with China, suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40 percent. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. How does this drop in export demand impact the market price of wheat in the U.S.? Do farmers have much reason to worry? Explain/support your answer. b. How does the reduction in export demand affect U.S. consumer surplus in the wheat market? Illustrate and explain. c.
