Identify and explain the various factors that can cause a shift in the supply curve for a specific product or industry. Discuss the short-term and long-term implications of these shifts on market equilibrium and pricing.
If the demand decreases at all prices, what will happen to the demand curve? Show the shift in the demand curve on the same diagram and explain what happens to the firm’s output and profits.
