Question
Chapter 10, Problem 4.6P
To determine
Examples of adverse supply shock and beneficial supply shock and discuss the impact.
Introduction:
Adverse Supply shock: Adverse Supply shock is an occurrence which causesan increase in the cost of production and reduces the supply at a particular price level shifting the supply curve leftward.
Beneficial Supply shock: Beneficial Supply shock is an occurrence which causesa decrease in the cost of production and increases the supply at a particular price level shifting the supply curve rightward.

The following graph illustrates the market for pistachios. It plots the monthly supply of pistachios and the monthly demand for pistachios. Suppose
new gathering technology is invented, allowing growers to produce more crops using the same amount of resources.
Show the effect this shock has on the market for pistachios by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both.
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back
to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Suppose that due to more stringent environmental regulation it becomes more expensive for steel production firms to operate. Also, recent technological advances in plastics has reduced the demand for steel products. Use Supply and Demand analysis to predict how these shocks will affect equilibrium price and quantity of steel. Can we say with certainty that the market price for steel will fall? Why?
