Question
The image shows a graph that represents the market for cups of coffee. There are two supply curves and two demand curves.

1. **Axes**:
   - The vertical axis represents the price of coffee per cup, ranging from $0 to $4.
   - The horizontal axis represents the quantity of coffee cups per hour, ranging from 0 to 90.

2. **Curves**:
   - **Original Supply (S1)**: An upward-sloping line originating near the bottom left and extending towards the top right.
   - **New Supply (S2)**: Another upward-sloping line, indicating a shift to the right of the original supply curve, which suggests an increase in supply.
   - **Original Demand (D1)**: A downward-sloping line from top left to bottom right.
   - **New Demand (D2)**: Another downward-sloping line that indicates a shift to the right of the original demand curve, showing an increase in demand.

3. **Scenario**:
   The problem states: "Consider the original supply and the original demand curve. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $1.00 on a cup of coffee, then there would be:"

4. **Multiple Choice**:
   - An option suggesting "an excess supply of coffee."

This implies examining the intersection of the original curves (S1 and D1) with the imposed price ceiling at $1.00, likely resulting in a different equilibrium situation.
