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 and positive news on the health benefits of coffee) happen…

Last, extend your analysis to the long run, a period of time long enough for new coffee growers to enter the market or for existing growers to exit the market. How might equilibrium price and quantity in the market for coffee be affected when enough time is allowed for a change in the number of sellers in the market?

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.

I was given a word problem but I want to bullet point reasons or answers to the question, rather than one single answer. 1. Assume in a simple example that two changes occur simultaneously in an economy which produces “Good X”. The economic changes that occur in the market are: 1) An increase in the number of seller/producers in the economy who make “Good X”, and 2) An increase in the number of consumers who purchase “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for “Good X”?
