A few years ago peanut farmers in India experienced a super-bumper crop due
to favorable weather conditions. Initially, the equilibrium price was $3 and the
equilibrium quantity was 500 tons. After the favorable weather conditions the
price of peanuts fell and the quantity increased. The new equilibrium price fell to
$1 and the new equilibrium quantity increased to 700 tons.
i. Draw a relatively inelastic demand curve and a relatively elastic supply curve for
peanuts.
ii. Label the original equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity on your graph.
iii. Label the demand curve, supply curve, the vertical axis, and the horizontal axis.
iv. On your graph show the impact of favorable weather conditions. Use arrows and
label the new curve(s) wherever appropriate.
v. Label the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity on your graph.
vi. What is the formula for calculating total revenue? Calculate the total revenue at
the old equilibrium. Now calculate the total revenue at the new equilibrium.
vii. Is the total revenue under the new equilibrium larger or smaller than under the
old equilibrium? Using the concept of price elasticity of demand, explain the
reason for the change in total revenue.
