How does the equilibrium price and quantity change when here are bad rumors about a product? Are there any changes or none? Provide a graph of your answer
Choose a good or service you are familiar with. It should be something that is currently available for purchase. If your classmates would be unfamiliar with this good or service, provide a brief description.
Initial Response: Complete all items below:
1) Choose the most likely demand shifter (the things that shift demand) for your product and explain why and how the demand curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that demand shifter. If the demand curve shifts in the way you are suggesting, what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity?
2) Choose the most likely supply shifter (the things that shift supply) for your product and explain why and how the supply curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that supply shifter. If the supply curve shifts in the way you are suggesting what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity?
3) If both the supply and demand curves shift in the way you suggested in #1 & #2 above, what will happen to equilibrium…
