Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price.

Identify the demand or supply determinant(s) that changes and explain how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a purely competitive market will change in each of the following situations. Draw the appropriate demand and supply curves showing the change. (Each graph should have an equilibrium point before the change as well as after; be sure to label all parts of the graphs). a.
