choose one in the brackets to fill in for the following question: If the wage rate for workers in car manufacturing rises, the (supply curve , quantity supplied ) for cars will [ increase, decrease, remain unchanged ) and the [ demand curve, quantity demanded) for cars will [ increase, remain unchanged, decrease)

Consider a competitive market in equilibrium at (Q1,P1). When there is an increase in demand in this market, what exactly happens in this market? Help describe what happens by selecting the correct sequence of events from the drop-down menus below. [Advice: draw this situation in a competitive market diagram.]

step 1:( creates an access demand at the original market price, this allows the market to clear at the original market price , this creates an excess supply at the original market price )

step 2: (this puts upward pressure on the price, this puts downward pressure on the price , this does not affect the price in this market )

step 3: ( there is an increase in supply, as the price rise, produces are willing to sell more as that increases their profits: there is an increase in the quantity supplied, producers do not change their willingness to produce & sell the goods; there is no change in the quantity supplied, non of the statements apply, as price falls, firms maximise profits by selling fewer units: producers reduce the quantity they are willing to sell there is a decrease in the quantity supplied ) and ( there is a decrease in demand , as the price falls, consumers increaese the amount of the goods they are willing to purchase : there is an increase in quantity demanded, as price rises, consumers reduces the amount of the goods they are willing to purchase: there is a decrease in the quantity demanded , consumers do not change their willingness to purchase the goods: tehre is no change in the quantity demanded , non of these statements apply)

step 4: (step 3 keeps happening as long as there is excess supply , step 3 keeps happening as long as there is excess demand)

step 5: a new equilibrium occurs at, ( a higher price and lower quantity, lower price higher quantity, higher price and higher quanitity, lower price and lower quantity )
