Following a supply shock (a shift in the supply curve), the equilibrium price in the market goes up, but the equilibrium quantity remains the same. Which one of the following can be true? The supply curve shifted left and the demand curve is perfectly elastic. The supply curve shifted left and the demand curve is perfectly inelastic. The supply curve shifted right and the supply curve is perfectly inelastic. The supply curve shifted right and the demand curve is perfectly inelastic.

14. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture Consider the market for apples. The following graph shows the weekly demand for apples and the weekly supply of apples. Suppose new farming technology is developed that enables growers to produce more crops with the same resources. Show the effect this shock has on the market for apples by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. 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 a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
Question 2Identify what sort of effects the following listed events have.You are required to define the market under study (for example: the labour market, oil market, etc). Explain whether the event acts on the demand or supply side, and whether the event leads to a quantity or price change, or leads to a shift in demand and/or supply.Make sure to explain what sort of assumptions you are making on the elasticities of demand and supply.a) An increase in oil prices as a consequence of a price dispute in the world oil marketsb) The implementation of a minimum wagec) The implementation of subsidies to milk producers in Australiad) The implementation of a Carbon tax in the economy. A Carbon tax is charged according to the level of emissions of greenhouse gases in an economy.e) The implementation of an increase in tuition in University studies

The pillow market is currently in equilibrium and is competitive. If the current market price is $22 per pillow and the government imposes a $5 per pillow tax on the sellers, the new market price becomes $27 per pillow. How much of the $5 tax is paid by the buyer? How much of the $5 tax is paid by the seller/ Which elasticity is larger elasticity of demand or elasticity of supply in absolute values? Which is larger |E| or |Es|?
Question 2 For each of the events describe below, you are required to explain: 1. The market you are evaluating (e.g., labour market, automotive market, etc). 2. Does the event act on the demand side, supply side, or both sides of the market? 3. Does the event lead to a quantity or price change? Or does the event lead to a shift in demand, supply, or both? Make sure to explain what sort of assumptions you are making on the elasticities of demand and supply (when plotting your demand and supply, describe whether you are assuming an elastic or inelastic demand/supply). d) The implementation of a Carbon tax in the economy. A Carbon tax is charged according to the level of emissions of greenhouse gases in an economy. e) The implementation of a new loan program to university students in the education sector
