How would each event affect the market for COVID-19 vaccines? Does the event cause a change in demand or a change in the quantity demanded? Is the change positive or negative? Or does the event cause a change in supply or a change in the quantity supplied? Is the change positive or negative? Explain the mechanism for the change and what happens to equilibrium price and quantity. a) The vaccine is approved for children under the age of 12. b) The U.S. government provides a subsidy that allows the price of the vaccine to be $0 for everyone. c) Several vaccines pass Phase 3 (large-scale efficacy tests) and are approved by the FDA for full use. d) A truck carrying the Pfizer vaccine has a malfunction and the refrigeration requirements aren’t met, so all the doses go bad. e) School districts and health care facilities add a requirement for getting the vaccine for all employees.
Once again, consider the market for avocados. Approximately 32 percent of the world's total production of avocados come from Southern California. Suppose that devastating wildfires destroy large swaths of California's avocado crop. Which of the following statements describes the effect the wildfires will have on the price and quantity (i.e., equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity) of avocados?

For each of the following changes in the demand or supply curves in the automobile market below, draw a graph showing the old demand and supply curves as well as the new demand or supply curve (whichever shifts). Also, show how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity change. Show work on 3 different graphs. The income of consumers rises and automobiles are considered a normal good. Over time, and due to new resource discoveries, gasoline prices fall. The availability and price of public transportation falls.

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.
