Notice that after completing both graphs, you can now see a difference between them that wasn't apparent before the shifts because each graph indicates different magnitudes for the supply and demand shifts in the market for pens. 10 Use the results of your answers on both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs to complete the following table. Begin by indicating the overall change in the equilibrium price and quantity after the shift in demand or supply for each shift-magnitude scenario. Then, in the final column, indicate the resulting change in the equilibrium price and quantity when supply and demand shift in…arrow_forward
- The government offers subsidies to homeowners for the purchase and installation of solar energy generating equipment. Given that silicon (derived from silicate minerals) is the main input in the production of solar panels, how will the subsidy affect the market for silicon? O Supply will rise, leading to an increase in the equilibrium quantity and decrease in price. O Demand will fall, leading to a decrease in the equilibrium price and quantity. O None of the above. O Supply will fall, leading to an increase in the equilibrium price and decrease in the quantity. O Demand will rise, leading to an increase in the equilibrium price and quantity of silicon.arrow_forwardIn the market for lawn mowers, if the price of steel, an input used in the production of lawn mowers, rises, and if at the same time homeownership increased which of the following would we expect to occur?
