Description

"I have already submitted this assignment for grading, and my professor sent back his recommendations. Please review comments from professor on slide 1 and 11. "

Competency

Explain and demonstrate knowledge of concepts including the supply/demand relationship, price ceilings and floors, and market surpluses and shortages.

Course Scenario

Oil Company X is a large oil refinery which has been expanding and taking on new investment projects. Recently, they have considered building a pipeline that stretches across the United States, from Canada to New Orleans.

The Board is considering a proposal to increase their oil stores to better prepare for events that impact the market price of oil. They have asked you, as a member of the Cost Department, to determine events that effect the price of oil. They have requested a report explaining the various effects of these events on equilibrium price and quantity.

Instructions

As a cost analyst at your firm, you are asked to evaluate the effects that the following scenarios will have on the supply and demand of oil in the oil market. You will submit a PowerPoint document with any relevant graphs, including a narration of the shift changes as if you were explaining them to the Board.

Using the drawing tools in PowerPoint, graph the changes to the supply and demand curves in response to the following events:

  1. Natural disaster near the outlet of the pipeline.
  2. Natural disaster near the inlet of the pipeline.
  3. Recession.
  4. Increase in availability of alternative energy sources.

Be sure to provide an oral explanation to justify why the supply and/or demand curve would shift, the direction of the shift, and the new resulting equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Remember that you do not need to include actual figures, but rather explain if the price and quantity would be increasing or decreasing. You can use the drawing tools within PowerPoint to draw your graphs. Also, be sure to include the change in the resulting equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity if any curve shifts occur.

Hello Tashara I have reviewed and assessed your Module 2 Deliverable. I have included detailed comments on how your work was graded in the body of your work. Please note that in order to gain full points, you will need to isolate each market event impact on either Supply or Demand, not both. You will need to do this for the four events that were given in the assignment. I have made note in my comments on exactly how to respond to each question. Deliverable 2 - Report on Events Impacting the Supply and Demand At the end of your presentation you will a breakdown of the offindOil competencies and how you scored on these competencies (highlighted in gold). Tashara Cooper Please be sure to include all 4 events in your next submission. Rasmussen College If you have any questions regarding how your work was assessed, please feel free to contact me via email. 3/19/2018 Regards, Marlo Chavarria Screen recording Introduction • Gas and oil prices increment when something meddles with production. The natural disasters regularly hinder or harm the production facilities, briefly diminishing or ending generation in that area. Disasters may likewise harm or interfere with the pipelines that shape the distribution in the infrastructure. Similar kind of impact is seen during recession and alternative energy sources availability. You need to isolate each market event impact on either Supply or Demand, not both. You will need to do this for the four events that were given in the assignment. Natural disaster near the outlet of the pipeline You were asked to evaluate the effects that a natural disaster near the outlet of the pipeline would have on the supply and demand of oil in the oil market. 9 8 In order to gain full points, you needed to look at the following event: Natural disaster near the inlet of the pipeline and then summarize the changes in supply 7 and/or demand curves correctly, adequately explain changes in equilibrium price and 6 quantity, use clear examples of each, and provide well-defined reasons for proposal S0 recommendation. 5 S1 Then 4 include the following information: D0 (a) Will Supply or Demand increase or decrease to assist with the natural disaster? 3 D1 (amend this portion of your submission) (b) 2Will Supply or Demand shift to the left or the right?

(this response Q2was correct) You were asked to evaluate the effects that a natural disaster near the inlet of the pipeline would have on the supply and demand of oil in the oil market. Corrections for this slide were not included Recession 9 You were asked to evaluate the effects that a Recession would have and then 8 summarize the changes in supply and/or demand curves correctly, adequately explain 7 changes in equilibrium price and quantity, use clear examples of each, and provide well-defined reasons for proposal recommendation. 6 Then 5 include the following information: (a) Will Supply or Demand increase or decrease to assist with the natural disaster? 4 this portion of your submission) (amend (b) Will 3 Supply or Demand shift to the left or the right?

Then include the following information: 4 (a) Will Supply or Demand increase or decrease to assist with the natural disaster? (amend this portion of your submission) 3 (b) Will Supply or Demand shift to the left or the right? (amend this portion of your 2 submission) (c) 1Will the equilibrium price increase or decrease?
