In a certain market for sobolo,when the price of the drink was Ghc 3 the quantity demanded was 12bottles.On another day,when the price per bottle was 5 cedis,the quantity demanded was 6 bottles.Use the information to write the equation for demand.Now,what will be quantity demanded if price per bottle was 6cedis.If we restrict price to the same demand curve,what will happen if price is less than Ghc 2.
Suppose the market for frozen orange juice is in equilibrium at price of $2.00
per can and a quantity of 4200 cans per month. Now suppose that at a price of

supplied increases to 4500 cans per month.

- What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires? Microeconomics chapter 3 Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product.
