In each problem, you must explain the scenario’s effect on the market. If the quantity supplied or the quantity demanded changes, state how (increase or decrease). If instead, the scenario meets one of the criteria above, indicating there is a shift. If one of the curves shifts, state why and the direction it shifts (left or right). You should then state the effect on price (increase or decrease)..⦁ You are a wheat farmer. Locusts attack your wheat. ⦁ Price of gasoline goes up. You own a gas station. ⦁ The price of corn goes up.

Which of the ff. is correct with regards to the demand curve? A. If the price of the good increases, the demand curve for the good will shift to the left B.
