Question
- Suppose there is a linear downward-sloping
demand curve and a linear upward-sloping supply curve for a good. Theprice of a substitute good increases and the price of an input to production also increases. Graph the original demand (D1) and supply (S1) curves, then dray the curves (D2 & S2) after the substitute good and input prices increase. How will theequilibrium price change after the substitute and input prices increase?
