please draw the graph for question3, dont you respond me with chat gpt and dont give and writen solution Draw a correctly labelled demand and supply graph for the market for toilet paper in the US with an equilibrium price of $20 per pack: You should label your vertical axis as "Price" and the horizontal axis as "Quantity". Draw a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve. Label the point where they intersect as the equilibrium point, with a price of $20 per pack. During the pandemic, more people were buying toilet paper in fear that it would run out. On the same graph, show how this affects the market for toilet paper. Explain your answer: The increased fear would cause a shift to the right in the demand curve, indicating higher demand at each price level. This would move the equilibrium point up along the supply curve, indicating a higher price and quantity sold. Now impose a price ceiling at $15 per pack. What would be the impact of the price ceiling…
