Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil. Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50
E. $80

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
