- Four students from your economics class are sitting in a local restaurant discussing the market for coffee. Below are quotes from each of the four students. All of the following quotes are logically correct except one. Which quote indicates incorrect economic analysis? A. Nicholas: "If Brazil is hit hard by such a severe freeze that half of its crop is wiped out, then the price of coffee will probably rise." B. Kendra: "If the price of caffeinated soft drinks such as Mountain Dew went down, then consumer demand for coffee would go down since they're substitutes for each other." C. Sergei: "If the demand for coffee were to increase, then I would expect the price to rise, which would then cause the demand to fall back down to its original position." D. Tasha: "If coffee drinkers expect the price of coffee to rise next month, then current demand will go up and lead to a price increase this month."arrow_forwardSuppose the current issue of The New York Times reports an outbreak of mad cow disease in Nebraska, as well as the discovery of a new breed of chicken that gains more weight than existing breeds that consume the same amount of food.

As a result, there was a major increase in demand for salt to put on the roads to make them safer. However, the supply of salt in the UK comes mainly from three salt mines; one in Cheshire, one in Cleveland, and one in County Antrim. The shortage was so great that at one point the government ordered councils to use less grit on the roads and stopped gritting the hard shoulder of the motorways. Problems in the past meant councils had been instructed to hold a few days worth of stock of salt but this was not enough to make the roads safe in what was the coldest period since 1963.
