Transcribed Image Text:### Demand and Supply Analysis
Below is a demand and supply schedule table showing different price levels, along with corresponding quantities demanded and supplied. The table lists values for two demand curves (\(D_1\) and \(D_2\)) and two supply curves (\(S_1\) and \(S_2\)).
#### Table: Price, Demand, and Supply
| **Price** | **\(D_1\)** | **\(D_2\)** | **\(S_1\)** | **\(S_2\)** |
|-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| $12 | 5 | 9 | 19 | 14 |
| $10 | 8 | 12 | 17 | 12 |
| $8 | 11 | 15 | 15 | 10 |
| $6 | 13 | 18 | 13 | 8 |
| $4 | 16 | 21 | 11 | 6 |
| $2 | 18 | 24 | 9 | 4 |
### Analysis Scenario
Suppose that \(D_1\) and \(S_1\) represent the prevailing demand and supply curves for a product. If there is a change in the demand schedule from \(D_1\) to \(D_2\), then consider the effects on equilibrium.
### Question
Determine the impact of shifting the demand curve from \(D_1\) to \(D_2\):
- Equilibrium quantity decreases from 15 to 13
- Equilibrium price decreases from $6 to $4
- Equilibrium quantity increases from 13 to 18
- Equilibrium price increases from $6 to $8
In essence, this table highlights how changes in demand affect the equilibrium price and quantity, thus providing insights into market dynamics.
