The demand for onions is very inelastic. Draw a supply/demand diagram that shows how the equilibrium price and quantity will change when a drought reduces supply. Label the axes and the prices and quantities both before and after the supply change. Then, write a few sentences explaining what happened to prices relative to quantities and why.

Suppose you decide to study for one hour then opportunist cost of this activity would be the sacrifice you will have to make in order to gain the activity of studying or the next best alternative that would be forgone.
