2. For each of the following markets draw the demand and supply model. Label the demand curve,
supply curve, axes, equilibrium price and quantity (P* and Q*). Then show how the given events willI
change (shift) the demand and/or supply curves. Also show how P* and Q* will be affected. Label the
new demand and supply curve and also the new P* and Q*. Clearly say what will happen to P* & Q*.
