Examine the graph for the price of gasoline in Figure 3-1 , on page 46.picture attached Then, using a supply-and-demand diagram, illustrate the impact of each of the following on price and quantity demanded: Improvements in transportation lower the costs of importing oil into the United States in the 1960s. After the 1973 war, oil producers cut oil production sharply. After 1980, smaller automobiles get more miles per gallon. A record-breaking cold winter in 1995–1996 unexpectedly raises the demand for heating oil.

Consider the market for hazelnuts. Use the supply and demand model to explain the effect of the following scenarios on the equilibrium price (P*) and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) of hazelnuts. In each of the following scenarios, does the supply curve shift? Does the demand curve shift? If there is a shift of the supply and/ or the demand curve, in what direction? Show graphically. Does the equilibrium price of hazelnuts increase or decrease? Does the equilibrium quantity of hazelnuts increase or decrease? 1. Adverse weather conditions destroy a large amount of hazelnut trees in Turkey, the leading hazelnut producer in the world. 2. The Italian company Ferrero makes a decision to increase the hazelnut content in its Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread. 3. New research finds that hazelnuts lower cholesterol and improve heart health more than people previously thought, and lots of people become aware of the results of the new study.
