Transcribed Image Text:The image compares two different market scenarios through supply and demand graphs labeled "Market 1" and "Market 2."
**Market 1 Graph:**
- The vertical axis is labeled "P (dollars)" representing price.
- The horizontal axis is labeled "Q (units)" representing quantity.
- The supply curve "S" slopes upwards.
- The demand curve "D" slopes downwards.
- Equilibrium price and quantity are marked at P* and Q* respectively, where the supply and demand curves intersect.
**Market 2 Graph:**
- Similarly, the vertical axis is labeled "P (dollars)" and the horizontal axis is labeled "Q (units)."
- The supply curve "S" slopes upwards, but appears steeper than in Market 1.
- The demand curve "D" slopes downwards, appearing flatter compared to Market 1.
- Equilibrium price and quantity are again marked at P* and Q* where the curves intersect.
**Question:**
"If there is an equivalent increase in supply in each market, in which market will the quantity change most?"
**Options:**
- Market 1
- Market 2
- Not enough information
This question asks to determine the effect on quantity when supply increases equally in both markets, based on the elasticity and slope of the supply and demand curves.
