Step 1 Analyze the effect of each scenario on the price of khaki pants. Consider the following scenarios. Think about how each scenario would affect the price of khaki pants. A new technology reduces the time it takes to make a pair of khaki pants. The price of the cloth used to make khaki pants falls. The wage rate paid to garment workers increases. The price of jeans increases. People's incomes increase. Step 2 Draw a demand-supply graph and label the axes with the price and quantity of khaki pants. Create one graph that shows each of the demand-supply curves for the five scenarios listed in Step 1. Use (free) online graphing software such as "Padowan" to create your graph.

This week I learned about the law of supply which states that when the increases the quantity of products that the producer is willing to sell. and the law of demand which states that the higher the the the demand. To be able to analyze the demand and supply I can use the demand and supply and the demand and supply graphical representation of the relationship of price and quantity. I also understand that aside from price, there are other factors that may affect the supply some of these are and There are also factors that may affect demand like and I can say that it is better if there is market equilibrium which means that the quantity supplied and the quantity…arrow_forwardDraw a graph to analyze the market for agricultural products (food).
