Which of the following graphs represents the supply for peanut butter if the cost for peanut fertilizer goes up?
An article in Trinidadian Gazette described a marketing campaign by a beverage company. The article states that “many senior managers felt uneasy about the extremely high prices of carbonated beverages. They also believed that with the sharp increases there would be a fall in demand which would again cause prices to fall further. What mistake did the senior managers make with their analysis of the situation? Illustrate your answer with a graph.

- Consider a market for solar energy panels as shown in the given graph. Due to a major breakthrough in terms of technological advancement in its manufacturing, the cost of production has gone down drastically. This causes the manufacturers of solar energy panels to shift their supply curve. Show the impact of this technological advancement on the supply curve of solar energy panels.

She drew the graph to the right and explained it as follows: "Electrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled water, so a fall in the price of electrolytes will cause the supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right (from S, to S₂). Because this shift in the supply curve results in a lower price (P₂), consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the right (from D, to D₂) We know that more premium bottled water will be sold, but we can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water will rise or fall. That depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right. I assume that the effect on supply is greater than the effect on demand, so I show…arrow_forward
