3ECONOMICS ASSIGNMENTBefore technological advance hit the market, the equilibrium price and quantity of ipad was P1 and Q1. After the advent of technological advances, the market supply changes. Technological advancement is a supply side factor determining extent of supply. Using more sound technology producers are able to produce at much lower cost (Rios, McConnell & Brue, 2013).. This allows them to increase production as well a supply in the market. As a result supply curve shifts rightward to S2. This makes he price fall to P2 and equilibrium quantity to rise to Q2 The shift insupply in presence of stable demand creates excess supply and pushes market price down. The lower price and technologically improvised product enhances demand for ipad and that shifts the demand outward. This leads to new market equilibrium E3 and the market price to become P3 with quantity even increased than before to Q3. P3 is higher than P2. The reason behind the rise n price is due to increasing demand depleting the prevailing excess supply in the market.Answer 3Market failure refers to the situation of inefficient allocation of resources. A mostcommon example of market failure is the case of public goods consumption (Bleda & Del Rio,2013). The government produces public goods, such as, roads, national defense, for all thecitizens and in exchange collects tax. However, some people do not pay taxes and thegovernment cannot limit the consumption to the tax paying customers only, as these goodscannot be produced for private consumption. The government cannot even put competitive priceson this type of goods (Baldwin & Scott, 2013).
