decrease in the cost of labor for producing bicycles. (4 pts.) What happens to bicycle supply? (6 pts.) What happens to bicycle demand? Student Answer: When there is an increase in the price of labor for making bicycles the supply would decrease because it would cost more to make the bikes and the supply curve would shift to the left. There would be no change in the demand for the bicycles. Instructor Explanation: Since a change in costs to produce the product is a supply factor, a decrease

addictions. The demand curve is therefore close to inelastic (See figure 1 and Perucic). This is again because customers are addicted to cigarettes and nicotine and will pay the extra money to continue to smoke them. Furthermore, cigarettes do not have many close substitutes that people can use instead (Perucic). So when the government imposes a tax on cigarettes the producer will be able to pass nearly all of the cost from the tax on to the consumer, this is due to the inelastic demand on cigarettes
