I recently stumbled upon the following quote in a newspaper: "Increased production (i.e. an increase in supply) leads to a lower price; which in turn, increases demand." Do you agree with such reasoning? Briefly explain.
Briefly explain whether each of the following represents a shift in supply or a change in quantity supplied. Use a graph to illustrate your answer.
An increase in the use of corn in the production of ethanol has raised the cost of corn to farmers who use it as livestock feed.
Speculators in world steel markets push the price of steel up, leading American steel companies to expand production.
A student was asked to draw a demand and supply graph to illustrate the effect on the market for premium bottled water
of a fall in the price of electrolytes used in some brands of premium bottled water, holding everything else constant.
She drew the graph to the right and explained it as follows:
"Electrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled water, so a fall in the price of electrolytes will cause the
supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right (from S, to S₂). Because this shift in the supply curve results
in a lower price (P₂), consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the
right (from D, to D₂)
We know that more premium bottled water will be sold, but we can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water
will rise or fall. That depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right. I assume
that the effect on supply is greater than the effect on demand, so I show…
