Suppose that the price of basketball tickets at your college
is determined by market forces. Currently, the demand and
supply schedules are as follows:
Price

Price
$4
8
Quantity Demanded
10,000 tickets
8,000
6,000
4,000
2,000
1. Draw the demand and supply curves. What is unusual
about this supply curve?
2. What are the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets?
3. Your college plans to increase total enrollment next year
by 5,000 students. The additional students will have the
following demand schedule:
12
16
20
Quantity Supplied
8,000 tickets
8,000
8,000
Quantity Demanded
4,000 tickets
3,000
2,000
1,000

8,000
8,000
4. Add the old demand schedule and the demand schedule
for the new students to calculate the new demand schedule
for the entire college. What will be the new equilibrium
price and quantity?

Here you have to consider: Whether a change in all consumers’ income has an effect on the demand or the supply side of the market. How to establish the direction of the change (increase or decrease?) How to deduce the impact on the equilibrium. Go back to the original equilibrium; to the point before the consumer income decrease. Now, consider that the market is flooded by new firms wanting to produce the good. Draw this change—again, consider the three points mentioned above. Finally, let’s put the two things together.
