Question Point
Assume X is a normal good. Holding everything else constant, assume that
1.
income rises and the price of a factor of production also increases.
We are analyzing the market for good Z. The price of a complement good,
2. good Y, declines. At the same time, there is technological advance in the
production of good Z.
Heavy rains in Maharashtra during 2005 and 2006 caused havoc with the
3.
rice crop.
Assume that consumers expect the prices of new cars to significantly
4.
increase next year.
MV Sir
Answers
When income of people rises, the demand curve will shift to right (becomes D2) as X
is given to be a normal good. An increase in the price of factors of production used
1. in the production of the good under consideration will decrease its supply and shift
the supply curve to the left to S3. The new demand and supply of X will meet at
Point 2.
When the price of a complementary good falls, the demand for the good in question
increases. Therefore, when price of the complementary good Y falls, the demand
2. curve for Z will move to right and become D2 and due to technological advancement
the supply of Z will increase and become S2. The new demand and supply of Z will
meet at Point 7.
Due to heavy rains, the supply of rice will fall and the new equilibrium point will be
3.
3. It is assumed that there is no change in demand.
If prices of cars are expected to increase in future, the demand curve will shift to
4.
right. Assuming that the supply remains constant, the new equilibrium point will be 5.
