13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium
Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from
pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably.
On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens.
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move
curve and it snaps back
to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Because gasoline is a necessity, consumers do not decrease their quantity demanded in either the short run or the long run. About 10 percent of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about 90 percent arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars. About 90 percent of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about 10 percent arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars. About half of the long-run reduction in quantity demanded arises because people drive less and about half arises because they switch to more fuel-efficient cars.arrow_forwardGiven the following information about the supply of and demand for apples: Price Quantity demanded (per month) Quantity Supplied (per month) P 0.50 12,000 0 0.75 10,000 2,000 1.00 8,000 4,000 1.25 6,000 6,000 1.50 4,000 8,000 1.75 2,000 10,000 2.00 0 12,000 Plot the demand and supply curves, and determine the equilibrium price and quantity.
