This exercise asks you to apply economic principles in explaining why prices tend to rise, and what consequences would result from forbidding sellers from raising prices. We will consider the case of bottled fresh water being available for sale in supermarkets. 1) Draw a graph showing the equilibrium price for the pre-hurricane demand for and supply of bottled water that currently existed in the market place. (label the current equilibrium price as p1 on the price axis, and the quantity as q1 on the quantity axis. Now suppose that the hurricane hits. One effect is to hinder delivery trucks from bringing as much water as before and the need for additional water supplies, so the supply of and demand for bottled water will be…

The following graph shows the market for cereal in New York City, where there are over 1,000 stores that sell cereal at any given moment. Suppose the Surgeon General issues a public statement saying that consuming cereal is bad for your health. Show the effect of this change on the market for cereal by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. 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. Supply Demand Supply Demand QUANTITY (Boxes) Now suppose Congress passes a tax cut that increases the income of New York City residents. If cereal is a normal good, this will cause the demand for cereal to PRICE (Dollars per box)
