Question
Three shifts of supply and demand are shown. Your task is to match them with the events listed in the texts.
![**Economic Events and Their Impact on Markets**
a. **1997 Florida Freeze Impact on Vegetables Market**
- A severe freeze in 1997 resulted in over $300 million worth of damage to Florida crops.
- The prices of some vegetables surged by 25% just a week after the freeze event.
- Example: Squash, which was priced at $1.16 per pound on January 17, rose to $1.40 per pound by January 24.
b. **Impact of Burkha Law Change in Afghanistan, 2001**
- In 2001, following the ousting of the Taliban from Afghanistan, a law mandating women to completely cover themselves in public with a burkha was removed.
- This change led many women to stop wearing burkhas, creating a surplus for sellers.
- Consequently, the price of burkhas dropped by 20% in just a few days.
c. **Price Dynamics in the Coffee Market (1997-2002)**
- Entry of new coffee growers, advanced growing techniques, and favorable growing conditions led to a significant drop in the price of raw coffee beans.
- Prices fell from approximately $2.00 per pound in 1997 to less than $0.05 per pound by 2002.
- To cope with increased supply, some growers suggested a marketing campaign to enhance demand.
**Graphs and Diagram Explanation**
1. **First Graph: Vegetables Market**
- Depicts a rightward shift in the supply curve (S) suggesting an increase in supply.
- The demand curve (D0 to D1) remains unchanged.
- The intersection of supply and demand moves, highlighting an increase in quantity (from Q0 to Q1) and price surge.
2. **Second Graph: Burkhas Market**
- Shows a rightward shift in the demand curve (D0 to D1), indicating decreased demand.
- The supply curve (S) remains unchanged.
- The new equilibrium shows a reduction in price and quantity (from Q0 to Q1).
3. **Third Graph: Coffee Market**
- Illustrates a rightward shift in the supply curve (S0 to S1), reflecting increased supply.
- Demonstrates a supply surplus and the need for demand stimulation (marketing efforts).
- The intersection shift shows the price decline due to surplus supply conditions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbced1420-92a5-4d34-bf39-a126b3c05392%2F441c23a1-424c-4616-a5b0-97818fa4094f%2Ftuxb8i3_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
