Will the equilibrium price of orange juice increase or decrease in each of the following situations? LO7a.
A medical study reporting that orange juice reduces cancer is released at the same time that a freak storm destroys half of the orange crop in Florida.
The prices of all beverages except orange juice fall in half while unexpectedly perfect weather in Florida results in an orange crop that is 20 percent larger than normal.

Refer to the figure above and answer the questions:
a) When the demand curve for flash drives is D and the supply curve of flash drives is S1, the equilibrium price is
with an equilibrium quantity ofunits. If the supply curve for flash drives shifts from S1 to S2, with no
change in the demand curve, the new competitive equilibrium price is with a new equilibrium quantity of
units.
b) When the demand curve for flash drives is D and the supply curve of flash drives is S1, what is the surplus in the
market if the price is $7?
O When the demand curve for flash drives is D and the supply curve of flash drives is S1, what is the shortage in the
market if the price is $4?
