Suppose an economic boom causes incomes to increase and, at the same time, drives up wages for the sales representatives who work for cell phone companies. Assume that smartphones are a normal good. This will cause the: price of cell phones and the equilibrium quantity to rise. O price of cell phones to rise, but the change in the equilibrium quantity is unclear and depends on whether the shift in demand is larger or smaller than the shift in supply. price of cell phones and the equilibrium quantity to fall. quantity of cell phones to rise, but the change in the equilibrium price is unclear and depends on whether the shift in demand is larger or smaller than the shift in supply.

What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
What is the relationship between price elasticity and position on the demand curve? For example, as you move up the demand curve to higher prices and lower quantities, what happens lo the measured elasticity? How would you explain that?
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
What is the relationship between quantity Demanded and quantity supplied at equilibrium? What is the relationship when there is a shortage? What is the relationship when them is a surplus?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
Suppose there is a soda tax to curb obesity. What should a reduction in the soda tax do to the supply of sodas and to the equilibrium price and quantity? Canyon show this graphically? Hint: Assume that the soda tax is collected from the sellers.
Review Figure 3.4 again. Suppose the price of gasoline is 1.00. Will the quantity demanded he lower or higher than at the equilibrium price of 1.40 per gallon? Will the quantity supplied be lower or higher? Is them a shortage or a surplus in the market? If so, of how much? Figure 3.4 Demand and Supply of Gasoline
