Q2) Illustrate the law of Demand by showing the differences between the changes of quantity demanded and the changes of demand? (Give example by using diagram)
12. What is the difference between a change in supply and a change in quantity supplied? A (change in supply) or to the right (an increase in supply). A change in supply, therefore, is a change in the entire supply schedule or curve. ) is a shift in the entire supply curve either to the left (a decrease in In contrast, a ( change in schedule from one price-quantity combination to another. A change in product price causes the change in quantity supplied. ) is a movement along an existing supply curve or PA P (Increase, Decrease) in (Increase, Decrease) in
Combine parts 1 and 2. Suppose that the FDA increase regulation of coffee, and a reputable study is published indicating that coffee drinkers have higher rates of Alzheimer’s. What with the combined impact have on the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show graphically. Make sure you think this through carefully!
Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium - Think of a product that you have purchased recently (e.g. soda, diapers, takeout meals, milk, shoes, manicure/pedicure, video game, etc...). Explain how the law of demand affected your purchase. Give specific examples of how the determinants of demand and supply affect this product (T-I-P-E-N and P-R-E-S-T). What happens to the demand curve and the supply curve when any of these determinants change? What would cause a change in demand versus a movement along the same demand curve for this product? How would you determine the new equilibrium price and quantity that result from these changes? Can you demonstrate some of these changes graphically? Price Elasticity of Demand - Consider a product that you have purchased recently. If the price of this item increases, how would you adjust your purchases? Is the Demand for this product Price Elastic or Price Inelastic? Justify your classification by applying the determinants of elasticity to…

Scenario 2: The Ministry of health publishes a study finding that coffee drinking reduces the probability of getting cancer. How do you imagine this will affect the market for coffee? Why? Which determinant of demand or supply is being affected? Explain. Show graphically the changes in demand or supply. Will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning.
