The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for several sellers in the market for motor scooters in State College, a university town in
Pennsylvania. Each seller has a single motor scooter for sale. The market price of motor scooters is given by the horizontal black line at $70.
Each rectangle on the graph corresponds to a particular seller in this market: blue (circle symbols) for Shen, green (triangle symbols) for Valerie,
purple (diamond symbols) for Antonio, tan (dash symbols) for Caroline, and orange (square symbols) for Dmitri. (Note: The name labels are to the
right of the corresponding segment on the supply curve.)
Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing producer surplus for each person who is willing to sell a motor scooter at a market price of $70.
(Note: If a person will not sell a motor scooter at the market price, indicate this by leaving their rectangle in its original position on the palette.)

Consider a market for solar energy panels as shown in the given graph. Due to a major breakthrough in terms of
technological advancement in its manufacturing, the cost of production has gone down drastically. This causes the
manufacturers of solar energy panels to shift their supply curve.
Show the impact of this technological advancement on the supply curve of solar energy panels.
Using the Line drawing tool, draw the new supply curve of solar energy panels.
Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object.
What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity demanded after the supply curve of solar energy panels shifts?
O A. Both price and quantity demanded increase.
O B. Both price and quantity demanded decrease.
O C. Price increases and quantity demanded decreases.
O D. Price decreases and quantity demanded increases.

what does this mean in terms of the interrelationship of supply, price, and demand on two items of your choice. Maybe it’s a Christmas that a child really wants but that most stores no longer have in stock. Or it might be a piece of clothing that you bought last year and now want to replace it but which is hard to find or twice as expensive as what it was last year.
