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.
[MUST SHOW WORK] Consider the above table for the market for oranges. A deep frost destroys many or the orange juice businesses to go put of business. As a result, quantity supplied decreases hper kg and the new equilibrium quantiy is.........? kg of oranges The new equilibrium price is .............? kg of oranges

Kim is in the market for a new automobile, and since she was just promoted at work, her tastes in higher-end automobiles has increased, but to her surprise taxes have decreased, which make a new automobile more attractive; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.arrow_forwardBecause bacon and egg are often eaten together, they are complements. - We observe that both the equilibrium price of eggs and the equilibrium quantity of bacon have risen.
