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…
. During the 1980s most of the global supply of lysine was produced by a Japanese
company named Anjinomoto. Lysine is an essential amino acid that is an important
livestock feed component. At this time, the US imported most of this global supply of
lysine (more than 30,000 tons) to use in livestock feed at a price of $1.65 per pound.
The global market for lysine, however, fundamentally changed in 1991 when US-based
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) began producing lysine; a move that doubled worldwide
production capacity. Experts conjectured that the marginal cost of producing lysine was
approximately $0.70 per pound. Despite ADM's entry into the lysine market, suppose
demand remained constant at Q = 208 – 80P (in millions of pounds). Shortly after ADM
began producing lysine, the worldwide price dropped to $0.70. By 1993, however, the
price of lysine shot back up to $1.65. Give a plausible explanation for what might have
happened in the lysine market. Support your answer with appropriate…
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.
