The price of crude oil has been increasing. The price of a good rises in two cases, when demand rises or when supply falls, or both. It has been given that there has been a growing demand for crude oil for turning into refined petroleum (increase in demand), along with a decline in its production (fall in supply). It implies that both an increase in demand and a decrease in supply is responsible for the price rise.
Draw a graph to show the information.
Explain in a critical way the effects of supply and
demand on seasonal agricultural products
(strawberry for example). Use graphs to show your
analysis
Question #1: On the news there has been outrage over the price of Epipens, a medication
needed for allergic reactions to food and bee stings. The price of a two-pack of Epipens has
risen from $100 to $600. The number of Epipens purchased fell from 1000 to 400. At the
current time, there are no substitutes for this drug
Will this increase in price cause a decrease in demand or a decrease in quantity demanded?
Illustrate your answer graphically (either by showing a movement along the demand curve or
by shifting the demand curve).

In recent years, sales of music CDs have decreased as many consumers have elected to download individual tracks of music directly into their playing devices. Of course, the cost to download a single track is less than the cost of a CD. The demand for music CDs is shown in the demand schedule as D1. Imagine that as a result of pressure from the music industry, music downloads are outlawed, and the only way to purchase music is to buy a music CD. Demand for CDs increases and is now shown in the demand schedule as D2. Using the data presented in the Demand Schedule for CDs, graph the demand curves D1 and D2 in the chart below. Refer to the chart you have drawn and answer the following questions: 1. When CDs sell for $18, compare the quantity demanded for CDs at demand levels D1 and D2. 2. Explain why more customers are now willing to purchase CDs for the same price. 3. When demand increases at all price levels, the demand curve shifts in which…arrow_forward
