**Understanding Shifts in Equilibrium: An Analysis of Supply and Demand**In the graph provided, the x-axis represents Quantity and the y-axis represents Price. There are two supply curves (S1 and S2) and two demand curves (D1 and D2).- **Initial Equilibrium:** At the intersection of supply curve S1 and demand curve D1, the equilibrium is at point D.- **New Equilibrium:** To shift equilibrium to point B, the intersection must now occur between supply curve S2 and demand curve D2.### Graph Breakdown:1. **Supply Curves:** - **S1:** The initial supply curve. - **S2:** The new supply curve which indicates a shift in the supply conditions.2. **Demand Curves:** - **D1:** The initial demand curve. - **D2:** The new demand curve which reflects a shift in demand conditions.### Points of Interest:- **Point A:** Intersection of D1 and S1.- **Point B:** Intersection of D2 and S2 (desired new equilibrium).- **Point C:** Intersection of D2 and S1.- **Point D:** Original equilibrium point (intersection of D1 and S1).### Question:To shift equilibrium from point D to point B, what needs to happen?A variety of changes in market conditions could influence this shift:**Options:**A. **A decrease in the number of buyers and an increase in resource prices.** - This would typically shift the demand curve leftward (less demand) and the supply curve leftward (more expensive to supply), not fitting our desired change.B. **A decrease in the price of a substitute and an increase in the number of firms.** - This would generally increase supply and could decrease demand for the product, depending on the substitutes' effect on demand courses.C. **An increase in the number of buyers and a decrease in resource prices.** (Correct Answer) - An increase in buyers shifts the demand curve rightward to D2 (more demand). - A decrease in resource prices shifts the supply curve rightward to S2 (cheaper to produce).D. **An increase in the price of a substitute and a decrease in the number of firms.** - This might decrease supply (leftward shift) and increase demand, but not fit the target shift precisely.E. **A decrease in the

China’s Thirst for Gas Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, deteriorating pipelines in Alaska, and conflict in Iraq can cause gasoline prices to rise by restricting supply. Often the events we see in the headlines affect the supply of oil available to consumers, but changes in the level of world demand for petroleum products also affects the price of oil. China’s Growing Demand U.S. demand for petroleum products has been high for decades. The United States is the largest consumer of oil, using about a quarter of the world’s petroleum. This is quickly changing. Emerging nations are becoming thirsty for oil, and China is at the top of that list. How did such a rapid change happen? In the past, China has not needed much petroleum. As the country is industrializing, however, it needs more and more fuel to satisfy its growing energy needs. In fact, as the graph of oil consumption between 1995 and 2025 shows, China’s consumption is increasing much more rapidly than…

Market in equilibrium: consider a market for electric vehicles (EVS), where the equilibrium price (P*) is $30,000 per vehicle, and the equilibrium quantity (Q*) is 10,000 vehicles per year. draw the initial supply and demand graph. P qor Q Events: Due to advancements in battery technology, the cost of producing EVs decreases significantly. Additionally, governments around the world introduce stricter regulations on emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles, leading to an increased demand for EVs. Explain how both the supply and demand curves would be affected. Draw the new supply and demand curves on your graph (in red) and predict the changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Demand: Supply: +
