QOD #13: Which way did it go?  From time to time, areas of the country experience severe droughts that result in widespread water shortages. Yet, if bad weather reduces the availability of fruits and vegetables, widespread shortages don’t usually occur. Explain the difference. Use your understanding of supply & demand to draw a graph for each of the markets (water and fruits/veggies).

Practice time  For each of the following scenarios, draw and write what would happen to supply, demand, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Explain the reason. A company that makes cables for computer networks invents a way to lower the cost of making their cables. A very flashy ad campaign for little-known brand of ice tea increases its popularity among consumers. The company is ready to make any amount of iced tea necessary to satisfy changes in demand.
