For each of the following changes in the demand or supply curves in the automobile market below, draw a graph showing the old demand and supply curves as well as the new demand or supply curve (whichever shifts). Also show how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity change. Show work on 3 different graphs. With lower trade barriers, foreign automakers export more cars to the U.S. U.S. automobile workers unionize. Due to research and development (R&D), new technologies enable automakers to produce cars much faster.
