Firewood prices in places from northern California to Boston and suburban New Jersey have remained steady even though the supply of firewood has been diminished by environmental restrictions on cutting. The Wall Street Journal reports that sales of gas fireplaces are outpacing sales of wood-burning hearths and that “people are burning less and less wood.” Use supply and demand analysis to show why firewood prices are not rising while the quantity of firewood burned is declining.

Hello, I only need the answer to the last question that is in BOLD. A market consists of groups of buyers and sellers of a good or service. Market equilibrium represents the price at which the quantity of goods supplied is balanced with the number of goods consumers are willing and able to buy. Consider the market for coffee: Assume first that there is a heatwave that damages a large portion of coffee beans. Describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity? Next, assume there is a new study that finds enormous health benefits to coffee consumption. Again, describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity? Now, extend your analysis to what might happen if both of these events (weather which damages coffee beans…

Given the products and conditions below, indicate how the events affect the demand, supply, equilibrium price and quantity of the goods. (a) Videotapes specifically . The price of DVDs and DVD players decreases. New technology makes videotapes easier to produce. The shift in demand is greater than shift in supply. (b) Tomatoes. FDA publicly announces that eating tomatoes and tomato-based products can significantly reduce one’s risk of developing cancer. An unexpected freeze late in the tomato season destroys a significant portion of this year’s crop. The shift in supply is greater than shift in demand.
