Consider the following scenario: “Corn is mostly grown in the Great Plains region of the United States. Suddenly, the drought hits the Great Plains one summer, so that 99% of all corn producers in the United States are only able to produce half of the usual amount of corn.“ Illustrate on the graph what happens to supply of corn in the given economy. Make sure to clearly label the graph. Also, clearly state how the drought is a supply shifter in the given case. Clearly state what would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of corn in the given economy
Consider the following scenario: “Corn is mostly grown in the Great Plains
region of the United States. Suddenly, the drought hits the Great Plains one summer, so that
99% of all corn producers in the United States are only able to produce half of the usual amount
of corn.“ Illustrate on the graph what happens to supply of corn in the given economy.
Make sure to clearly label the graph. Also, clearly state how the drought is a supply
shifter in the given case. Clearly state what would happen to the
quantity of corn in the given economy.
The measure that depicts the level where the demand for a good is equal to the supply of a good being produced in the economy is known as the equilibrium level.
