Exercise 1: Shifts in the Demand Curve. In recent years, sales of music CDs have decreased as many consumers have elected to download individual tracks of music directly into their playing devices. Of course, the cost to download a single track is less than the cost of a CD. The demand for music CDs is shown in the demand schedule as D1. Imagine that as a result of pressure from the music industry, music downloads are outlawed, and the only way to purchase music is to buy a music CD. Demand for CDs increases and is now shown in the demand schedule as D2. Using the data presented in the Demand Schedule for CDs, graph the demand curves D1 and D2 in the chart below. Refer to the chart you have drawn and answer the following questions: 1. When CDs sell for $18, compare the quantity demanded for CDs at demand levels D1 and D2. 2. Explain why more customers are now willing to purchase CDs for the same price. 3. When demand increases at all price levels, the demand curve shifts in which…

4. Movements along versus shifts of demand curves Consider the market demand for cereal. Complete the following table by indicating whether an event will cause a movement along the demand curve for cereal or a shift of the demand curve for cereal, holding all else constant.

Suppose that a drug that was illegal has been made legal. It is observed that the total expenditure on this drug falls with legalisation. While non-economists might explain this in terms of a change inconsumer tastes, as economists we can explain this while sticking with the assumption that consumer tastes have not changed. Draw a demand and supply diagram showing the case where total expenditureclearly and unambiguously falls (with no shift in the demand curve) and provide a written explanation.
