Suppose the current demand for shrimp is D (in black), the current price of a pound of shrimp is $10, and the current quantity demand for shrimp is 200K. Which of the following correctly describes a decrease in the demand for shrimp, assuming the price of a pound of shrimp remains at $10?
A) The demand curve for shrimp shifts right from D (black) to D' (blue), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases from 200K pounds to 150K pounds.
B) The demand curve for shrimp shifts left from D (black) to D'' (red), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases from 200K pounds to 150K pounds.

- In an analysis of the market for paint, an economist discovers the facts listed below. State whether each of these changes will affect supply or demand, and in what direction. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint. Paint is lasting longer so that property owners need not repaint as often. Because of severe hailstorms, many people need to repaint now. The hailstorms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months.arrow_forwardSuppose that Bob and Cho are the only suppliers of pizza slices in a particular market.
