Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.

The computer market in recent years has seen many more computing sell at much lower prices. What shift in demand or supply is most likely to explain this outcome? Sketch a demand and supply diagram and explain your reasoning for each. A rise in demand A fall in demand A rise in supply A fall in supply
What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires? Microeconomics chapter 3 Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…
