Use Supply and Demand Principles to Evaluate Market Trends and Events

Need help with my Business question – I’m studying for my class.

Assume that the City Council in Prescott, Arizona is considering implementing price ceilings on rental units based on the number of bedrooms in the unit. The demand function for rental units (on a single bedroom equivalent basis) is given by QD = 120 – 4P and the supply function is given by QS = 2P, where P is price and Q is quantity. The Council is considering imposing a ceiling price on rental units of Pmax = 16.

1. Using the given functions, draw a corresponding demand curve and a supply curve. Properly label the equilibrium price and quantity. Then show what will happen to equilibrium if the City Council imposes a price ceiling at 16.

NOTE: There are numerous guides online that demonstrate how to draw supply and demand curves; most are done in Excel. To create the demand curves that you need for this assignment, create an Excel file with a price column, including prices from $1 to $30. Using the formulas, compute the quantity demanded at each price and quantity supplied for each price. Then copy and paste the graph into your Word document where you will write out answers to the following questions.

2. Are consumers of rental-housing in Prescott well-served by this price ceiling policy? Provide a careful economic analysis in support of your claim. In particular, discuss what happens if a regulated price is set that is not equal to the equilibrium price.

3. Suppose that the Council is concerned that landlords will allow the quality of their rental units to deteriorate following the imposition of the ceiling price. What can you infer about the level of quality that landlords’ provision will allow if consumers are worse off, following the imposition of the ceiling price? Provide a careful economic analysis in support of your claim.

4. Suppose now that the proposal before the City Council contemplates imposing a price ceiling on apartment rentals, but not on house rentals. Would owners of rental houses in Prescott be likely to support this proposal, or would they prefer the status quo (i.e., no price ceilings)? Provide the economic rationale for your answer. (In answering this question, you should ignore all supply-side considerations. In other words, just assume that supply adjusts fully to accommodate demand.)

5. Find three recent scholarly articles concerning proposals to increase the minimum wage in the United States. Using a supply, demand and, in this case, price floor analysis similar to what you did for the rental unit price ceiling, for this assignment write a 3 to 5-page analysis, based on sound economic principles, of the proposal.

Discussion: Westfield Mall

I’m stuck on a Economics question and need an explanation.

Question 1: Please answer this question strictly from a pure economics point of view only. Let’s pretend that you are the employer/owner of a firm located in an area with a higher minimum wage in this shopping mall. The product you are selling is hamburger and let’s assume that the hamburger from Carl’s Junior, Wendy’s, and Burger King are exactly the same. As you know, not all workers have the same level of skills and/or productivity. Given that you now have to pay a higher minimum wage, who would you likely keep employed in your firm (would you pick the most productive or the least productive worker)? Why?

Question 2: Use the economic model on price floor and strictly from this model please explain which one would be greater. Will quantity supplied be greater than quantity demanded? Or will quantity demanded be greater than quantity supplied? Why?

****Remember, demand and quantity demanded are two different things just like how supply and quantity supplied.*****

Question 3: Firms need to earn a profit and due to this some firms may do what with the price of their products they sell to their customers after the minimum wage was instituted? Will the firms charge a higher or lower price to their customers? Why?

Health Care Timeline

I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.

Review the Topic Material, “Timeline for the History of Public Health and Epidemiology” to complete this assignment. Using this resource as an example, create your own timeline in a Word document with significant dates that influenced and changed the health care delivery systems.

man-made disasters, war, genocide, famine, Displacement, etc

Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question?

Look up the top ten ongoing humanitarian crises around the world. Select one and write your discussion post on that crisis. (If you are an international student, please select a crisis that is happening outside your region. For example if you are from a nation in South America, please do not write about the crisis in Venezuela, etc). Also, please do not write about the Syrian Refugee Crisis

For example:

One of the major ongoing international crises is the humanitarian crisis in Yemen that has been fueled by war, political, economic, and other social upheaval in the region. The focus of the assignment is to bring attention to an ongoing crisis that appears to get little attention in the west but is considered one of the worst humanitarian crisis in our time. We are concerned about the humanitarian issues as it relates to the global health related issues. Read up on current news reports on what is happening in the crisis you selected. For example if you selected the Yemen situation you would:

  1. Discuss in what ways this complex humanitarian crisis is both a local and an international event and your views on how various nations have responded.
  2. Look for a publicly available photo that depicts this disaster/crisis situation. Share the photo and give appropriate credit.
  3. Briefly discuss what you think are the most urgent needs of the residents and citizens of that nation, or the region directly affected
  4. Do you think adequate attention is being paid to this crisis? Why or why not?

To obtain full credit:

Make an original post (250-350 words) that includes the photo, your commentary on the photo, and that addresses the above questions at least 2 scholarly references that includes the citation for the photo. (15 points)

Your original post should be made before the due date so that others have time to read and respond to what you wrote. (1 point)

Respond to at least one post from your classmates. Your response to your peers must be at least 150 words. (4 points)
