A pest attack destroys half of the California navel orange crop. Simultaneously, the price of kiwifruit, a substitute for navel oranges, falls. As a result, a. the demand for navel oranges would decrease but the supply would remain unchanged, resulting in a lower market equilibrium price and quantity b. the supply would decrease and the demand would increase, resulting in a higher market equilibrium price and an indeterminate change in market equilibrium quantity c. both supply and demand would decrease, resulting in a decrease in equilibrium quantity and an indeterminate change in price d. both supply and demand would increase resulting in an increase in equilibrium quantity and an indeterminate change in price.
