The demand and supply of muffins in a small town are shown in the graph below. A great review of the town's bakeries in
a major newspaper causes the demand for muffins to increase by 2 muffins at each price.
Draw the new demand curve. (Be sure to make the new demand curve the same length as the original using the segment
tool.) Then add a point at the new equilibrium using the point tool.

- 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.
