I am stuck on this problem, I don't know where to start. Could you give a step by step on how to figure this problem out. Thank you.
There is an increase in demand of 100 units at each price and a decrease in supply of 100 units at each price. In the graph below, draw the new demand and supply lines.
Instructions: Use the graphing tools, 'D2', 'S2', to plot the new demand and supply lines on the figure and then use the grid lines to determine the new equilibrium price and quantity.
