Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more stud

ents to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.

Answer:

This is a situation where there is an inadequate increase in equilibrium quantities, which causes an ambiguous imbalance in equilibrium prices.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, students stopped buying pencils, due to their allergy to rubbers, and started to buy pens. This causes a change in the balance between these two products, this change was not made by factors such as scarcity or better quality, but because of the students' allergy, which shows that the change in balance was made in an unequivocal manner.

However, there are many students who still buy the pencils, and the ink from the pens comes at a high price. This causes the change in the equilibrium price of these products to be ambiguous because demand and supply may fall or rise together, not allowing a forecast of price changes.

The graph shows the price of green tea compared to the amount supplied by producers.
Kaylis [27]

<em>The correct answer is: 2. </em>Green tea is inelastic in terms of supply.

The elasticity of the supply of a product measures the variation experienced by the quantities of products supplied by the producers before variations in certain factors of production. In our case, the established factor is the market price of the goods to be produced (green tea), and is called the price elasticity of the offer.

The price elasticity of the supply of a product is calculated as the quotient between the differences in the quantity offered to the market by the producers and the differences in the market price of that product.

In this case, the price elasticity of green tea is 67%. The calculation is done as follows:

  <em> E (%) = (S2-S1) / (P2-P1) = (5-3) / (7-4) = 2/3 = 67% </em>

As this value is less than unity, it is said that the green tea is Inelastic in terms of supplies with respect to the market price.

This means that before increases in the price the quantities supplied by the producers increase in a smaller proportion.
