Step 1 Analyze the effect of each scenario on the price of khaki pants. Consider the following scenarios. Think about how each scenario would affect the price of khaki pants. A new technology reduces the time it takes to make a pair of khaki pants. The price of the cloth used to make khaki pants falls. The wage rate paid to garment workers increases. The price of jeans increases. People's incomes increase. Step 2 Draw a demand-supply graph and label the axes with the price and quantity of khaki pants. Create one graph that shows each of the demand-supply curves for the five scenarios listed in Step 1. Use Word to create your graph. Use five different colors to represent each of the five scenarios. Save the graph to your computer . Copy and paste the file into the assignment document that you deliver to your instructor. Clearly identify your finished araph.

Explain all the reasons why a decrease in a products price would lead to an increase in purchases.
In an analysis of the market for paint, an economist discovers the facts listed below. State whether each of these changes will affect supply or demand, and in what direction. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint. Paint is lasting longer so that property owners need not repaint as often. Because of severe hailstorms, many people need to repaint now. The hailstorms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months.
If a 10 decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8 increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10 decrease in the price cause another 3 increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.
Lets think about the market for air travel. From August 2014 to January 2015, the price of jet fuel increased roughly 47. Using the four-step analysis, how do you think this fuel price increase affected the equilibrium price and quantity of air navel?
