Suppose that in 2007 Ford sold 500,000 Mustangs at an average price of $18,800 per car; in 2008, 600,000 Mustangs were sold at an average price of $19,500 per car. From these statements what changes in supply or demand on the market for Mustangs produced such changes in equilibrium? (One graph. Start by plotting two points (price versus quantity, shift either supply or demand, not both) and then draw supply and demand graphs through them in a way that explains the change in the equilibrium from 2007 to 2008.

USE TABLE #1: For the market for electric automobiles, the equilibrium price is $ ________________ and the equilibrium quantity is___________ . (Remember to use a comma, if a comma is needed and to include the decimal point and two numbers to the right of the decimal point).
In each of the following scenarios, explain the changes in either supply or demand that would result. If the initial equilibrium price were yet to change, indicate whether a surplus or a shortage would result. Given this, what do you expect will subsequently happen to the price of the good?

In the market for lightbulbs: Recently General Electric, one of the largest suppliers of light bulbs, decided to discontinue producing light bulbs.

Suppose the current price of a good is $125. At this price, the quantity supplied is 150 units, and the quantity demanded is 110 units. For every $1 decrease in price, the quantity supplied decreases by 5 units and the quantity demanded increases by 3 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded is _____ than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing a ______ . In order to adjust, the market price will ______ until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of _______ .
Assume that you are able to determine that the equilibrium price for a good will definitely decrease, and the equilibrium quantity will definitely increase. Which of the following MUST have occurred for you to be able to make these conclusions?a. Demand decreased and supply decreasedb. Demand increased.c. Demand decreased and supply increased.d. Demand increased and supply decreased.e. Supply increased. When demand and supply both change in the same direction (for example, they both decrease), the change in the equilibrium quantity can be predicted with certainty.a. Trueb. False Consider the market for wood flooring. The economic downturn has caused many firms selling wood flooring to go out of business. At the same time, consumers are expressing a preference for wood flooring over alternatives like carpet and tile. Based on this information, what would you expect to happen to the price of wood flooring?a. The price will definitely stay the same.b. More information is needed to…
