What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires?
Microeconomics chapter 3
Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…

Draw a demand curve and a supply curve for one of your favourite goods and explain why the point of intersection for demand and supply gives the equilibrium.also illustrate diagrammatically what happens to the equilibrium price and quantity in this market as a result of a decrease in all consumers’ income. 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. What happens if you simultaneously decrease income and increase the number of firms involved in the market in terms of the new equilibrium price and quantity?
Hint:…
