When only demand or supply changes, it is possible to predict the change inequilibrium prices and quantities in the market. Yet, equilibrium cannot predict theprecise outcome if demand and supply change simultaneously.Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow.Scenario 2Equilibrium is the condition in the market system when the quantity demanded is equal to thequantity supplied. The equilibrium condition in the market for Rooibos Tea is depicted in thediagram below. PoP5.2EoSoDoQoIn the market for Rooibos tea, the following information is provided:A recent article, "The Magic Powers of Rooibos Tea", made headlines in South Africa. Thearticle provides readers with the significant health benefits of Rooibos Tea endorsed bymedical professionals.Rooibos Tea farmers in South Africa explained that the article influenced the tastes andpreferences of consumers. Yet, at the same time explains that the production of RooibosTea is highly impacted due to a devastating drought that destroyed the majority of rooibosharvests.The farmers explain that devastating drought and the surge in demand occurred simultaneously inthe market.For Scenario 2, answer the following questions:5.1Using three separate graphs, illustrate and explain how simultaneous changes indemand and supply for Rooibos Tea will influence the price and quantity. Youranswer should include three possible outcomes for the simultaneous changes indemand and supply:a) Outcome 1: The relative changes in demand and supply are equal.b) Outcome 2: The relative change in supply is greater than the relative change indemand.c) Outcome 3: The relative change in demand is greater than the relative change insupply.[Important: Clearly name all the curves and label all points and changes onyour graph(s).]Based on your answer in 5.1, what can the farmers conclude regarding theuncertainty of price and quantity following simultaneous changes?

Use the information/statement below to answer questions: 10. Because of exceptionally good weather conditions, this year's supply of-eucumber in Batinah is 20% greater than last year's supply. Assume that once cucumber is grown, the supply curve for cucumber is perfectly inelastic. Also assume that the demand curve for cucumber is the same this year as it was last year. If the price of cucumber is 25% lower this year than it was last year, what can we conclude? 10. The price elasticity of demand for cucumber is: a. -1.25 b. -1.00 © - 0.80 d. -0.25

6. Individual and market supply Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only suppliers of ice cream cones in a particular market. The following table shows their monthly supply schedules: Price (Dollars per cone) PRICE (Dollars per cone) 6 5 2 0 1 0 2 3 4 5 Paolo's Quantity Supplied (Cones) 0 On the following graph, plot Paolo's supply of ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon's supply of ice cream using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market supply of ice cream cones using the orange points (square symbol).
