Assume we are looking at the corn market (corn is a normal good). For each of the following statements determine whether the supply or the demand curve shifts, and whether it shifts up or down. - Household income increases. - The price of fertilizer increases. - A new, more efficient harvester is invented. - The price of rice falls. - A large portion of the population discovers that they are allergic to corn.
In the figure to the right, the current position of the demand curve for a good is D₁, and the price of the good, which is a normal good, is $4. If there is an increase in consumer incomes, which way will the demand curve shift? Will the quantity demanded of the good increase or decrease? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the new demand curve for a normal good after consumer incomes increase. Label this line 'D₂.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the point on the new demand curve, D₂, that corresponds to the quantity demanded when the price is $4 per good. Label this point 'A₂. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price per Unit of the Good ($) 2A₁ D₁ 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity of the Good Demanded
In each problem, you must explain the scenario’s effect on the market. If the quantity supplied or the quantity demanded changes, state how (increase or decrease). If instead, the scenario meets one of the criteria above, indicating there is a shift. If one of the curves shifts, state why and the direction it shifts (left or right). You should then state the effect on price (increase or decrease)..⦁ You are a wheat farmer. Locusts attack your wheat. ⦁ Price of gasoline goes up. You own a gas station. ⦁ The price of corn goes up.

This question provides another chance to practice implementing the 4-step approach to analyzing shifts in supply and demand. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, many people became fearful of going to restaurants for full-service, sit-down meals. C) As the demand decreased, the supply turned into a surplus. As the demand for restaurant meals has decreased, there is an excess of restaurant meals. D) Based on your answer to part c., will the equilibrium quantity of restaurant meals go up or will the equilibrium quantity of restaurant meals go down? Explain your answer. In particular, will your answer focus on quantity demanded or will it focus on the quantity supplied? E) Result: state the effects of the fear of eating in restaurants on the equilibrium price and quantity of restaurant meals

Draw a graph to analyze the market for agricultural products (food). Label your price and quantity axes properly. In your graph, draw a supply curve for agricultural products (food) that obeys the law of supply. Label (S). In the same graph, draw a demand curve for food that obeys the law of demand. Label (D). Identify the market equilibrium point in your graph and label (E). Also, label the equilibrium price (PE) and the Equilibrium quantity (QE): 1. Using supply/demand analysis, explain why food prices declined in the United States in the 1920s. Use your above graph to illustrate the change in the market equilibrium price. Clearly label the original and new equilibrium price and explain your graphical analysis in words.
