Question

A.The following table gives the supply and demand for orchid leis in Hawaii.

Price ($/unit) Quantity demanded (thousands) Quantity supplied (thousands)
5 24 8
10 20 12
15 16 16

25 8 24

The equilibrium price of orchid leis is $ U1syIiEJmco= and the equilibrium quantity of orchid leis is zhw5AiG32jY= thousand.

Correct! The market equilibrium occurs when the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded at a specific price. The table shows that when the price is $15 per lei, the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. The equilibrium quantity is 16 thousand, and the equilibrium price is $15 per lei.
Incorrect. The market equilibrium occurs when the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded at a specific price. Look for the row where the quantity demanded is the same as the quantity supplied. This occurs in the third row; there are two 16’s. Thus, the equilibrium quantity is 16 thousand, and the equilibrium price is $15 per lei.

The new equilibrium price is $ Pz2PEfhsNWI= per lei and the new equilibrium quantity is Tu9IG1n3UyE= thousand.

Excellent! The increase in supply does not affect the numbers in the quantity demanded column. The numbers in the quantity supplied column increased by 8 at every price.
Incorrect. The increase in supply does not affect the numbers in the quantity demanded column. The numbers in the quantity supplied column increased by 8 at every price. The market equilibrium is where the demand and supply curves intersect. In this case, the equilibrium price is now $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 20 thousand units.
