In 2011 oil production in Libya was interrupted by political unrest. At the same time, the demand for oil by China continued to rise.a. Demonstrate the impact on the quantity of oil bought and sold. Instructions: Draw a parallel shift in the demand or supply curve(s) by grabbing, dragging, and then dropping the curve(s) to the new position(s). In the market for oil, compared to the initial equilibrium (E0), the impact of these events on price is (Click to select) (to increase price, to decrease price or uncertain) and the impact on quantity is (Click to select) (to decrease quantity, to increase quantity, or uncertain)b. Oil production in Libya returned to its original levels by the end of 2012. What was the likely effect on equilibrium oil price and quantity?Compared to the equilibrium identified in part a, price will (Click to select) ( remain unchanged, decrease, increase) and quantity will (Click to select) (increase, decrease, or remain unchanged )
The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident.

4. Demand shifters The following graph shows the market demand for kumquats. Suppose that government reports link an outbreak of salmonella poisoning to a recent kumquat crop. Show the impact of the government report by shifting the demand curve on the following graph. Note: Select and drag the curve to the desired position. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

14. Over the past few year’s consumer tastes and the number of buyers in the market for a game called ‘pickle ball’ have increased dramatically. Thus, the demand for tickets to pickle ball events has increased. Before this all started the equilibrium price of a ticket to a pickle ball event was negative. This means that: A few years ago, there would have been a surplus of tickets even at a price of zero, now the invisible hand has pushed prices to greater than zero. A few years ago, the quantity of tickets demanded was less than quantity supplied. Pickle ball event tickets resembled the market for recyclable cardboard a few years ago Greater demand for pickle ball tournament tickets will lead to a greater demand – and higher pay – for professional pickle ball players. All of the above. B and D only
