During Valentine’s week, more people buy chocolates and chocolatiers offer their chocolates in special red boxes, which cost more to produce than the everyday box. Set out the three-step process of analysis and show on a graph the adjustment process to the new equilibrium. What are the changes in the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity

Cassava is the main commodity in the economy of Makandingi. Given the hardship in the economy, the government increased the salary of all employees in Makandingi. Following this intervention, the number of cassava producers also increased in the community. In a class discussion, Barnabas said these two events would result in an increase in equilibrium price of cassava. Francis, on the other hand, argued that the price would rather decrease. With the aid of a diagram, explain the possible effects of the two events on equilibrium price and quantity, assuming the salary increase has a greater impact and cassava is a normal good.
