If there were a shortage in a market the quantity of the product supplied would be what?
The quantity supplied in a market at some specific price must be less than the quantity demanded for a shortage to occur.
What is the difference between supply schedule and market schedule?
A table which contains values for the price of a good and the quantity that would be supplied at that price. A market demand schedule is a table that lists the quantity of a good all consumers in a market will buy at every different price.
What will happen to market price if demand decrease?
If the demand decreases, market price would go down. IN DETAIL: Demand is a rightward sloping downwards curve. Supply is a rightwards ascending curve. If you plot a graph of both, where the horizontal axis shows the quantity demanded by the market, and vertical axis shows the market price, the intersection of the demand and supply curve would give you the market price. A decrease in demand would mean a leftward shift in the demand curve, causing the intersection point of of the two curves to be lower than the previous one, which means at a point that shows a lower price. So the market price would decrease.
What would You refer to a to find the quantity that a person would purchase at each price that could be offered in a market?
by the goods normal
How would it be possible to observe a decrease in both the equilibrium price and quantity in the market at the same time?
A fall in demand will result in the decrease of both equilibrium price and quantity. A fall in demand( a leftward shift in the demand curve) will result in the decrease of both equilibrium price and quantity.

Define a market and identify and explain how various market forces would determine the price of a product or service?
If we bring together the supply and demand curves onto one diagram, we find that they intersect at only one price. This is the market or equilibrium price. Only at this price is the quantity demanded equally to the quantity supplied. The equilibrium or market price is arrived at by a gradual process. If trading takes place at prices other than the market price, there will be either a shortage or a surplus, which will cause the price to move until it settles at the equilibrium level.
What happens to the price when the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded?
When quantity supplied is more than quantity demanded price falls, upto the point at which some suppliers decide they would rather not sell the product at that low price. If the supply quantity is still more (after the above mentioned supplies have been taken out of the market) than quantity demanded, then price continues to fall upto the level where he next supplier takes supplies out of the market. Also to be noted is that, when price falls, demand increases. This continues to happen until, the quantity supplied equals demand. This method generally works for most commodities, because the suppliers could store the commodity for future use. Also the general assumption is at a price of $ 0, the demand is infinite. But depending of the commodity there could be other effects, especially price floors due to substitute uses for the commodity etc.
What would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity exchanged if an increase in income and a decreasing price of complement for a normal good?
the equilibrium price and quantity exchanged will go up because thr curve of demand shift rightward in both situations.
Does Rent control lead to quantity supplied being less than quantity demanded?
Yes. Its a price ceiling. In other words, the true price that would put the market in equilibrium is much higher than the artificially applied ceiling. Since quantity demanded on a commodity increases as price decreases, people will want more if the price is artificially low. This leads to people wanting more housing than what actually exists. There is no incentive to build more housing because you cant get the market price for your building. If the market were allowed to adjust naturally, rent would go up and people would move to a town with lower rent.
What would happen to the quantity of money people wish to hold when there is a decrease in the price level?
It would decrease, if there are lower prices, than people would naturally demand less of it. This is the quantity theory of money Money Demand= Price level*Income/Velocity of Money, what is important here is that Price level is in the numerator, so when it decreases the total quantity of money decreases as well.
Why would a firm in a perfectly competitive market always choose to set its price equal to the current market price?
Because if it set its price higher than the current market price, it would not sell anything; and if it set its price lower than the current price, it would sell all of its product, but it would not make an economic profit. Understand, however, that this does not happen in real life, because in real life, there is no such thing as a perfectly competitive market.
In table 3.1 if the price is $4 the market will?
n Table 3.1, if the price were $4 the market would In Table 3.1, the equilibrium market quantity would be Suppose production is reduced by 60 percent for each of the suppliers in this industry. Draw a new market curve and answer the following questions based on your new supply curve and the original demand curve.
