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.
4. How will each of the following changes in demand and/or
supply affect equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a
competitive market; that is, do price and quantity rise, fall,
or remain unchanged, or are the answers indeterminate be-
cause they depend on the magnitudes of the shifts? Use sup-
ply and demand to verify your answers. LO3.5
a. Supply decreases and demand is constant.
b. Demand decreases and supply is constant.
c. Supply increases and demand is constant.
d. Demand increases and supply increases.
e. Demand increases and supply is constant.
f. Supply increases and demand decreases.
Next, complete the following graph, labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1
graph.

Compare both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs. 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.

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…
