Assume that the equilibrium price is at $3 and equilibrium quantity is at 40 units of a product. Then, imagine that suddenly any of determinants of demand, other than the price of the product, caused demand to increase while, at the same time, one of determinants of supply, other than the price of the product, caused supply to decrease. TASK: First, draw the demand and supply graph to show the original equilibrium price at $3 and equilibrium quantity at 40 units. Second pick ONE specific DETERMINANT of DEMAND and ONE specific DETERMINANT of SUPPLY Third, show in the graph what it looked like if demand increased and supply decreased (select where you think that the new price and quantity would change to), what the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity would be, after both changes in demand and supply occurred.
