- Choose a good or service you are familiar with. It should be something that is currently available for purchase. If your classmates would be unfamiliar with this good or service, provide a brief description. Initial Response: Complete all items below: 1) Choose the most likely demand shifter (the things that shift demand) for your product and explain why and how the demand curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that demand shifter. If the demand curve shifts in the way you are suggesting, what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity? 2) Choose the most likely supply shifter (the things that shift supply) for your product and explain why and how the supply curve is most likely to shift if there is a change in that supply shifter. If the supply curve shifts in the way you are suggesting what will happen to equilibrium price and quantity? 3) If both the supply and demand curves shift in the way you suggested in #1 & #2 above, what will happen to equilibrium…arrow_forwardHow can we use the Supply-Demand model to predict what is likely to happen to the price of alcohol in the future ?arrow_forwardA taco hut is trying to determine its demand if it changes it's price.

- Before economic reforms were implemented in the countries of Eastern Europe, regulation held the price of bread substantially below equilibrium. When reforms were implemented, prices were deregulated and they rose dramatically. As a result, the quantity demanded for bread dramatically fell and the quantity supplied for supplied rose sharply.

Explain. Be sure to clearly identify a textbook variable or determinant that is causing this change. Would this change be an increase or decrease? Explain. Would this change result in a surplus or in a shortage in the market for Charmin toilet paper? Explain. Given this surplus or shortage, how will a new equilibrium be established? What do you predict will happen to the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity exchanged in the market for Charmin toilet paper? Explain.arrow_forward
