Consider this simple market for almonds. Almonds require a lot of water to produce them. A large share of almonds are produced in California, which has recently undergone serious droughts. These droughts only directly affect one curve. What effect would that curve shifting have on equilibrium in this market?
Now, we can plot the demand and supply curves on a graph, with P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Demand curve: P = 833 - Q To plot the demand curve, we can start with a point on the vertical axis where P = 833 when Q = 0. Then, we can plot additional points by subtracting values of Q from 100 and finding the corresponding values of P using the equation P = 833 - Q. This gives us the following demand curve: Supply curve: P = Q - 32 To plot the supply curve, we can start with a point on the vertical axis where P = -32 when Q = 0. Then, we can plot additional points by adding values of Q to 50 and finding the corresponding values of P using the equation P = Q - 32. This gives us the following supply curve:
