Technology advances have affected the market for computers by increasing the supply causing a shift to the right, which has also increased the demand for computer software, also lowering the price. As for typewriters it has decreased the demand because computers are becoming more affordable because they are cheaper to make. 10. a. Submitting graph in class. Equilibrium price is $6. 00 and quan tity is 81 pizzas. b. There would be a surplus so the producers would have to cut the price to get rid of surplus inventory. . There would be a shortage and the producers would raise the price until the shortage is reduced. Additional homework problems: 1. 1)Opportunity cost of 1 parasol for Huang is 1/3 of a plate. 2)Opportunity cost of 1 parasol for Min ? of plate. 3)Opportunity cost of 1 plate for Huang is 3 parasols. 4)Opportunity cost of 1 plate for Min is 2 parasols. 5)Neither because it takes them both the same amount of labor hours to produce the same amount of parasols. 6)Min because she has lower input of producing plates. )Huang has the comparative advantage of producing parasols because his opportunity cost is lower. 8)Min has the comparative advantage of producing plates because the opportunity cost of producing one plate is only 2 parasols. 9) A. 2. 1)Equilibrium price= 25 Equilibrium quantity= 400 2)400 units would be supplied and demanded. 3)Surplus of 200 units. 4)$ 35 5)Shortage of 200 units 6)$15 3. 1)It would cause a decrease in demand and a shift in the demand curve to the left. )It would cause a decrease in demand and a shift in the demand curve to the left. 3)It would cause an increase in the current demand and a shift in the demand curve to the right. 4)It would cause an increase in the current demand and a shift in the demand curve to the right, because buyers would purchase more before the price goes up. 5)It would cause an increase in demand and a shift in the demand curve to the right. 6)Quantity goes down and prices go up so it would cause a movement in the demand curve to the left.
