Large-scale tampering has been discovered in the bottled drink industry. As a result, new regulations are passed requiring tamper-resistant packaging on all bottled beverages. At the same time, consumers begin switching from drinking soda to drinking low-calorie alternatives. What would happen under these conditions?A.An increase in equilibrium price for bottled waterB.A decrease in equilibrium price for bottled waterC.A decrease in equilibrium quantity of bottled waterD.An increase in equilibrium quantity of bottled water

How would the equilibrium quantity of bottled water be affected if the price of plastic used to make bottles for bottled water decreased at the same time that the price of soft drinks decreased tremendously?A.The change would be indeterminate.B.It would decrease.C.There would be no change.D.It would increase.

A company has designed a reusable plastic water bottle. The bottle is white in color and opaque due to an added chemical called titanium dioxide. The bottle will be offered for $19.95 because marketing analysis showed that many people would be willing to pay up to $20 for the bottle, but few would purchase the bottle at a higher price.If cost for titanium dioxide rises between the design and production stages, the bottle company would most likely respond to this shortage of raw materials by A. adding more titanium dioxide to each bottle. B. finding ways of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. C. making the bottles slightly smaller. D. raising the price of each bottle.

Some students decided to do an experiment with a can of soda. They opened a 340 g can of soda and left it open for a day. They then measured the soda can and found it was 332 g. The uncertainty in the measurement was 2 g. They then poured some of the soda in a glass and observed that it was no longer fizzy. Which of these statements explain what happened during the experiment?*1 pointBecause the gas in the soda leaves the open soda can, increasing the mass of the systemBecause the gas in the soda leaves the open soda can, decreasing the mass of the systemBecause gases that surrounds the soda can takes in, increasing the mass of the systemBecause gases that surrounds the soda can takes in, decreasing the mass of the system

9. If the bottle were left open (with no cap) and additional force were applied to the bottle—such as someone pulling it downward as it fell—what would you expect to see happen? aThe water would stay in the bottle.bThe water would come out of the top of the bottle.cThe water would come out of the holes in the bottle sideways.dThe water would come out of the holes in the bottle and fall downward.

Suppose that Cocoa prices are increasing amid widespread flooding in some of the world’s main growing regions leading to increased input costs for chocolate producers. At the same time there is a fall in consumer income. Chocolate is a normal good.What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for chocolates following these two events?Question 6AnswerA.Price will decrease; quantity will decrease.B.Price will increase; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.C.The effect on price is ambiguous; quantity will increase.D.Price will increase; quantity will decrease.E.The effect on price is ambiguous; quantity will decrease.
