Supply and Demand Model Practice Answer the following on a separate sheet of paper Suppose we are analyzing the market for hot chocolate. Winter starts and the weather turns sharply colder, consumers prefer hot chocolate. The price of cocoa beans, an ingredient in making hot chocolate, decreases. The Surgeon General of the United States announces that hot chocolate causes acne. Protesting farmers stop producing millions of gallons of milk, causing the price of milk, an ingredient in hot chocolate to rise.   S D

Application – Price Ceiling Price of Ice Cream Cones Scenario: the government places a price ceiling on ice cream cones as a result of complaints and lobbying from the Ice-Cream Eaters of America. The price ceiling is at $2.00 a cone. Graph the following schedule based on the price points and qs/qd. Supply Demand Equilibrium point $3 Price ceiling 2 Shortage of 50 cones Price of Ice Cream Cones Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $3 100 2 125 75 Quantity supplied Quantity demanded Quantity of Ice-Cream Cones 75 100 125 The government imposes a price ceiling of $2. Because the price ceiling is below the equilibrium price of $3, the market price equals $2. At this price, 125 cones are demanded and only 75 are supplied, so there is a shortage of 50 cones.

Application – Price Floor Price of Ice Cream Cones Surplus of 40 ce Cream Cones Scenario: the government places a price floor on ice cream cones as a result of complaints and lobbying from the National Organization of Ice-Cream Makers. The price floor is at $4.00 a cone. Graph the following schedule based on the price points and qs/qd. Supply Demand Price floor $4 3 Equilibrium point Price of Ice Cream Cones Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $4 80 120 3 100 Quantity supplied Quantity demanded Quantity of Ice-Cream Cones 80 100 120 The government imposes a price floor of $4, which is above the equilibrium price of $3. Therefore, the market price equals $4. Because 120 cones are supplied at this price and only 80 are demanded, there is a surplus of 40 cones.

Elasticity Elasticity – measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded or quantity supplied to a change in price Price elasticity of demand – measures how consumers will cut back or increase their quantity demanded for a product when prices rise or fall Measures the extent to which changes in price causes changes in quantity demanded. Helps determine how much a price change will influence the qd of any given product

Elastic Demand Elastic – quantity demanded changes drastically when a price rises or falls A consumer is very responsive to price changes

Inelastic Demand Inelastic - changes in price cause a relatively small change in quantity demanded Consumers continue to purchase regardless of a price change

Computing the Price Elasticity of Demand Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded Percentage change in price Value is less than 1, it is considered inelastic. Inelastic – Demand is < 1 Value is greater than one, demand is elastic. Elastic – Demand is > than 1 Value is equal to one, demand is unitary elastic. Unitary Elastic – Demand is = 1 Value is equal to 0, demand is perfectly inelastic. Perfectly Inelastic – Demand is = 0 Value is equal to infinity, demand is perfectly elastic Perfectly Elastic – Demand is = infinity
