But while car sales have climbed 38% in the first three quarters of the year, automakers have increased their output even faster, causing fierce competition and a slow erosion of prices." At the same time, Chinese consumer incomes have risen. Assume that cars are a normal good. Use a diagram of the supply and demand curves from cars in China to show what is happening.

READ THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION : THE QUESTION : What is the shape of Starbucks’ demand curve? In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s firstsignificant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the pricechange didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffeesand I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size(small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase.

3. The effects of price changes on total revenue Edison's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Edison produced four fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to five fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Edison faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Edison must lower his price from $105,000 to $90,000 per fire engine. Note that while Edison gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial four engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000. (Note: Area is shown in thousands.)

Point A1 is at (10,40), A2 is at (15,30), a3 is at (25,10). Dotted lines extend to the axis from each point, forming rectangles which are each labeled A through F from top to bottom. The upper most region A encompasses the Price values of 30 to 40 and the Quantity values of 0 to 10. The second row of boxes, B and C, encompass the Price values of 10 to 30. B covers the quantity values of 0 to 10, and C covers the quantity values of 10 to 15. The lowest three boxes cover price values from 0 to 10. D encompasses quantity values 0 to 10, E 10 to 15, and F 15 to 25. Refer to the graph above. Area F is larger than areas B and C, because demand is elastic between $10 and $30 smaller than areas B and C, because demand is inelastic between $10 and $30…
