3. If all other factors remain the same, what happens to the demand curve for coffee if there is: (a) an increase in the price of tea, (b) a decrease in family income, (c) an increase in the price of coffee? In answering these questions draw and carefully label a set of axes. On the horizontal axis of your graph, show the quantity of coffee. On the vertical axis show the price per cup of coffee. Since you do not have specific data on prices and quantities demanded, just indicate prices with a P and Quantity with a Q. Focus on the general shape and position of the curves before and after events occur. Draw new curves to show what happens in each of the circumstances given, if necessary. 3. If all other factors are unchanged, what happens to the supply curve for coffee if there is: (a) an increase in wages paid to coffee store clerks, (b) an increase in the price of coffee, or (c) an increase in the number of coffee stores? In answering these questions draw graphs, as necessary, using…
