Choose a good or service you are familiar with. It should be something that is currently available for purchase. If your classmates would be unfamiliar with this good or service, provide a brief description.
Initial Response: Complete all items below:
1) Choose the most likely demand shifter (the things that shift demand) for your product and explain why and how the demand curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that demand shifter. If the demand curve shifts in the way you are suggesting, what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity?
2) Choose the most likely supply shifter (the things that shift supply) for your product and explain why and how the supply curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that supply shifter. If the supply curve shifts in the way you are suggesting what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity?
3) If both the supply and demand curves shift in the way you suggested in #1 & #2 above, what will happen to equilibrium…
Question-02:
Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by Q=300-2P+ 44, where Iis average income measured in
thousands of dollars. The supply curve is Q=3P-50.
a. If I=25, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product.
b. If I= 50, find the market-clearing price and quantity for the product.
c. Draw a graph to illustrate your answers.
The demand and supply curves for a product are given by:
Qd = 600 - 2P
Qs = 300 + 4P
Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Carefully draw a graph to illustrate your
answer. Make sure to write out the intercepts. Show the equilibrium price and the equilibrium
quantity on your graph.

- Find an article in The Wall Street Journal or The Economist that was published after 12/1/23 describing a change in price or quantity or both in some market. Analyze the situation using economic reasoning. A reference must be provided for the article Has there been an increase or decrease in demand? Factors that could shift the demand curve include changes in preferences, changes in income, changes in the price of substitutes or complements, or changes in the number of consumers in the market. Has there been an increase or decrease in supply? Factors that could shift the supply curve include changes in costs of materials, wages, or other inputs; changes in technology; or changes in the number of firms in the market. Draw a supply-and-demand graph to explain this change. Be sure to label your graph and clearly indicate which curve shifts.
