The following graph shows the demand curve for sedans (for example, Toyota Camrys or Honda Accords) in Toronto. For simplicity, assume that all
sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Initially, the graph shows market demand under the following circumstances: Average household
income is $50,000 per year, the price of a litre of regular unleaded gas is $4 per litre, and the price of a subway ride is $2.00.
Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be scored on any changes you make to this graph.
Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.
