In general, changes in price and quantity depend on the amount by which the demand and supply curves shift, in which direction they shift and the shape of each curve. With this statement in mind, illustrate by drawing a single graph the new price and quantity at a new equilibrium when both curves shift to the right, but the shift in the demand curve is larger than the shift in the supply curve.

Table 3.9 illustrates the market's demand andsupply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find theequilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change inquantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph ofthe new equilibrium, in each of the following situations:a. The price of milk, a key input for cheeseproduction, rises, so that the supply decreases by80 pounds at every price.b. A new study says that eating cheese is good foryour health, so that demand increases by 20% atevery price.
Because bagels and cream cheese are often eatentogether, they are complements.a. We observe that both the equilibrium price ofcream cheese and the equilibrium quantity ofbagels have risen. What could be responsible forthis pattern: a fall in the price of flour or a fallin the price of milk? Illustrate and explain youranswer.b. Suppose instead that the equilibrium price ofcream cheese has risen but the equilibriumquantity of bagels has fallen. What could beresponsible for this pattern: a rise in the price offlour or a rise in the price of milk? Illustrate andexplain your answer.
