- Thinking about the market for waffles from the previous question, describe what would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity for waffles if the following events occur. Treat each event as a separate occurrence. In other words these events are not happening at the same time. For each question simply write "up" or "down" in the answer box. Any response other than "up" or "down" will result in an incorrect answer. Event 1: There is a shortage of maple syrup causing the price to rise significantly. Will the equilibrium price of waffles go up or down in response to an increase in the price of maple syrup? Will the equilibrium quantity of waffles go up or down in response to an increase in the quantity of maple syrup?
