1. Which Figure(s) illustrates a decrease in the price of a substitute in production?
2. Which Figure(s) illustrates the effect of a natural disaster?
3. Which Figure(s) illustrates an increase in expected future product prices?
4. Which Figure(s) illustrates a decrease in the price of a substitute in consumption?
5. Which Figure(s) illustrates a decrease in the preference for a good?
1 - Figure 3 illustrates this situation.
Due to decrease in price of substitute , its production will decrease. Hence , the production of the main good will rise as a result and supply curve will shift right.
2 - Figure 1
This is because as a result of natural disaster , the resources will be destroyed. Supply will decrease and curve will shift to left.
3 - Figure 2
The increase in the future expected price will increase the current demand for the product. Hence this will shift the demand curve to the right.
4 - Figure 4
Due to decrease in price of substitute good , the demand for the substitute good will rise. As a result , the demand for the other good will fall and demand curve will shift to left as shown
5 - Figure 4
Due to the decrease in preference , the demand for the product will decrease. This will shift the demand curve to left as shown in figure 4.
