Supply and Demand Changes (be sure to label the axis on all of your graphs)a)b)c) d)e)f) g)• • • •Suppose that you do a national survey of Americans, asking them how they feel about American- made cars versus Japanese-made cars. Suppose as well that you discover that Americans’ “taste” for American-made cars has decreased and the taste for Japanese- made cars has increased. Using the demand and supply model, show how this change in taste for American-made cars will impact the market for American-made cars. Give your predictions for the change in the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity of American-made cars bought and sold.Suppose that you have information indicating that the price of steel (an important input of production in the auto industry) has doubled during the past few months. Show how this economic shock will influence the market for American made cars and give your predictions for equilibrium price and sales change.Suppose both (a and b above) of these shocks are…
