A market consists of groups of buyers and sellers of a good or service. Market equilibrium represents the price at which the quantity of goods supplied is balanced with the number of goods consumers are willing and able to buy.
Consider the market for coffee:
Assume first that there is a heatwave that damages a large portion of coffee beans. Describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity?
Next, assume there is a new study that finds enormous health benefits to coffee consumption. Again, describe how this would affect equilibrium in the market for coffee. Specifically, does demand or supply shift, in which direction, and what is the effect on equilibrium price and quantity?
Now, extend your analysis to what might happen if both of these events (weather which damages coffee beans…

Assume in a simple example that two changes occur simultaneously in an economy which produces “Good X”. The economic changes that occur in the market are: 1) An increase in the number of seller/producers in the economy who make “Good X”, and 2) An increase in the number of consumers who purchase “Good X”. Assume that this is a competitive market, what will happen to the market selling price and the market quantity that is bought and sold in the market for “Good X”?arrow_forwardFor each of the following scenarios involving bridge operations during the morning rush hour, construct a graph for the market for trips using the bridge.
