Answer;

In the above all figures, x-axis shows quantity and y -axis shows price. D is the demand curve S is the supply curve. E is the initial equilibrium point. Panel A,B,C and D shows the folowing effects respectively.

a. Bacon and sausage are substitute goods. The decrease in the price of one commodity reduces the demand for its substitute. Decrease in the price of sausage links resulted fall in the demand for bacon. The demand curve shift to the left. The price reduces from p to p1 and quantity also reduces from q to q1.

b. As the result of increase in the price of corn, which is fed to pigs , the supply reduces , the supply curve shift to the left. The price increass from p to p1 and quantity reduces from q to q1.

c. An increase in the average income of consumers caused increase in demand of bacon. The demand curve shift to the right. The price increases from p to p1 and quantity also increases from q to q1.

d. The introduction of a price floor on bacon resulted increase in price fro p to p1. The quantity demanded reduces from q to dd and quantity supplied increases from q to qs.
