During Valentine’s week, more people buy chocolates and chocolatiers offer their chocolates in special red boxes, which cost more to produce than the everyday box. Set out the three-step process of analysis and show on a graph the adjustment process to the new equilibrium. What are the changes in the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity

The price of hops (an input in making beer) has increased. Graphically show the effect of this increase in the price of hops on the equilibrium price and quantity of beer.
K High-quality pasta products are made from 100 percent semolina, which is made from durum wheat. Suppose that a drought decreases the quantity of durum wheat. The adjacent figure (Figure A) shows the initial equilibrium in the market for high-quality spaghetti. Using the line drawing tool, show the impact of the drought on this market by shifting the appropriate curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Due to the drought, the equilibrium price of high-quality spaghetti and its equilibrium quantity Price ($ per pound of spaghetti) Figure A: Market for high-quality spaghetti $7- $6- to $4- $3- $1 $0 100 200 300 400 500 600 7 Quantity (millions of pounds of spaghetti per yea 0
The following graph shows the market for hamburgers in Dallas, where there are over 1,000 burger joints at any given moment. Suppose hamburger sellers expect that tomorrow the price of hamburger will be significantly higher than today's price. Show the effect of this change on the market for hamburgers by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. -O Demand Supply - RICE (Dollars per hamburger) 69°F Rain coming F3 F4 F5 Q CI O N F6 Supply & F7 수 F8 F9 !!!!!

Consider the number of options you had to quench your thirst at the various locations. What do you notice about the price of the soda as the number of options (substitutes) increased?
Recent medical research has established that drinking wine in moderation can improve heart health and lead to a longer life. Explain the impact of this medical research on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine. Your explanation will be in terms of shifts in demand or supply (or both, or neither) and the effects of any shift. Describe the process by which the shift moves us to a new equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Suppose we are analyzing the market for hot chocolate. During this winter season the following two events occurred simultaneously. Explain using the demand and supply curves how these twoevents affect the price and quantity of the hot chocolate. Event A: The price of cocoa beans decreases.Event B: Consumer income falls because of a recession, and hot chocolate is considered a normalgood

Shifts in supply or demand I The following graph shows the market for donuts in San Francisco, where there are over 1,000 donut shops at any given moment. Suppose the price of muffins increases. (Assume that people regard donuts and muffins as substitutes.) Show the effect of this change on the market for donuts by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
