![3. Changes in the supply of sedans
The following graph shows the supply curve for sedans in an imaginary market. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the
same price. Two factors that affect the supply of sedans are the level of technical knowledge-in this case, the speed with which manufacturing robots
can fasten bolts, or robot speed-and the wage rate that auto manufacturers must pay their employees. Initially, the graph shows the supply curve
when robots can fasten 2,500 bolts per hour and autoworkers earn $25 per hour.
Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.
Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.
