- Think of a relevant example in your own life of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardIf advances in PC production technology increased the supply of PCs sharply. The demand for PCs will increase, but not nearly as much as the supply did. As a result what will happen, will the price of a PC rise or fall and the quantity of PCs sold increase or decrease?arrow_forwardSuppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil. Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complementary good for heating oil), and the price of natural gas (a substitute good for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil. Use the calculator to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to the calculator. Initially, the price of natural gas is $10 per 1,000 cubic feet, the price of an oil furnace is $2,000, the average annual household income is $40,000, the cost of crude oil is $25 per barrel of heating oil, and the cost of refining oil is $15 per barrel of heating oil.
