Midterm Assignment (due Friday October 4, 2024) There are two questions and 30 points in total Show all steps of your work. Only writing the final answer is not enough. Question 1 Consider a good that has existing demand curve given by Q = 60 - 6p and existing supply curve given by Q = 24 + 3p. Suppose there is a change in the supply curve and the new supply curve is given by Q = 12 + 2p. There is no change in the demand curve. (a) [4 points] Is the new supply curve a parallel shift from the existing supply curve? Briefly explain your answer. (b) [5 points] Does the new supply curve lie on the right or left of the existing supply curve? Briefly explain your answer. (c) [4 points] Showing all steps of your work, determine the existing equilibrium price and quantity before the change in the supply curve. (d) [4 points] Showing all steps of your work, determine the new equilibrium price and quantity after the change in the supply curve.
