- Four students from your economics class are sitting in a local restaurant discussing the market for coffee. Below are quotes from each of the four students. All of the following quotes are logically correct except one. Which quote indicates incorrect economic analysis? A. Nicholas: "If Brazil is hit hard by such a severe freeze that half of its crop is wiped out, then the price of coffee will probably rise." B. Kendra: "If the price of caffeinated soft drinks such as Mountain Dew went down, then consumer demand for coffee would go down since they're substitutes for each other." C.
