Some argue that the answer is to reduce the supply of drugs from Colombia – which would otherwise eventually find their way onto the world markets – by giving aid to the Colombian government to fight the drug suppliers. If this is successful, it will drive up the price of cocaine on the streets. Higher prices mean that fewer people will be willing and able to buy drugs, resulting in a fall in demand. This scenario can be seen in Figure 1.13(a) where a successful anti-drug policy in Colombia would decrease supply, i.e. shift the supply curve for cocaine upwards and to the left so that there is an excess demand for cocaine at price P. This will result in a rise in the equilibrium price of cocaine from P to P1. The quantity demanded will contract along the demand curve D from Q to Q1 as price rises from P to P1. Critics of these ideas argue that programmes…arrow_forward
- Case study “PRICE CUTS FOR MEDICINES: CHEMISTS AT RISK AS PRICES ARE SLASHED” and answer the following questions: PRICE CUTS FOR MEDICINES: CHEMISTS AT RISK AS PRICES ARE SLASHED by Nigel Hawkes, health editor.Big price cuts on a wide range of medicines and vitamins were promised by the supermarket chains yesterday as 30 years of price-fixing were swept aside. Many popular products, including painkillers, cough medicines, indigestion tablets and nutritional supplements are being halved in price from last night, with reductions of between 20 and 40 per cent on many others. The Office of Fair Trading called it excellent news for consumers but the body representing small pharmacies said that many would close, threatening community services. The big supermarkets trumpeted ‘millions of pounds-worth of savings’ as they competed to offer the biggest reductions. At Asda, a packet of 16 regular Anadin will be 87p, instead of £1.75, and Nurofen tablets will cost £1.14 for 16, rather than £2.29.…arrow_forwardwhat happens to the market price for rental cars as a result of the demand shockarrow_forwardPrice P₂ P₁ Q₂ ↓ D Quantityarrow_forward
