Graphically show how each of the following shifts the supply curve. Also identify which factor of supply is being affected in each case.
What happens to the supply of Spices if the US government withdraws an embargo on imported Spices from Iran?
The following graph illustrates the market for walnuts. It plots the monthly supply of walnuts and the monthly demand for walnuts. Suppose stretch
of unseasonably good weather occurs, allowing walnut growers to produce more walnuts per hectare.
Show the effect this shock has on the market for walnuts by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both.
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back
to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

- Consider the market for soybeans. The following graph shows the weekly demand for soybeans and the weekly supply of soybeans. Suppose a blight occurs that destroys a significant portion of soybean crops. Show the effect this shock has on the market for soybeans by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both.

- true or false - explain in short be supported with an economic model. If the demand for and supply of a product both increases, the equilibrium quantity of the product must also increase. If the demand for a product decreases and the supply of the product increases, the equilibrium price of the product may increase or decrease, depending on whether supply or demand has shifted more. Assume that there is a fixed supply in the market. A higher price will result from a change in demand brought about by a rise in income.arrow_forwardConsider the market for minivans. For each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of supply and/or demand is affected and indicate an increase or decrease in supply and/or demand. Illustrate the shift of a supply curve and/or demand curve in each of the following cases. Describe the change in the equilibrium. 1. People decide to have more children 2. A strike by steelworkers raises steel prices 3. Engineers develop new automated machinery for the production of minivans 4. The price of sports utility vehicles rises. 5.

- Hashtags such as “toiletpaperapocalypse”, “toiletpapergate”, etc were trending on Twitter in Australia in early March 2020. Such trends occurred as a significant number of Australians rushed to panic-buying toilet papers amid fears of the coronavirus outbreak. When asked, many shoppers said they wanted to stockpile in case the virus was to spread across the community. a. Draw appropriate supply & demand graph(s) to illustrate the effects of the above shock on the market for toilet papers in Australia. In your own words, explain which curve(s) would shift and the reason behind the shift. b. Comment clearly on the changes in price and quantity of toilet papers in Australia following the shock above. c. Supermarkets have vowed not to increase the price of toilet papers. At the same time, they have moved to limit purchases to 4 packs per customer. What would happen to the market of toilet papers following the above policies by supermarkets?

Also, because building materials like steel beams, concrete slabs, pipes, logs, etc. are large and very heavy, it’s common for companies to use oversized flatbed fleet trucks or tractor trailer fleet trucks to ship them around the country. What happens in the market of building materials due to this event? b) What happens in the market for store brand sodas if: there is a world-wide recession that decreases consumers' incomes (assume ramen noodles are an inferior good)?arrow_forward
