Oil is a resource used by many manufacturers. Which graph illustrates the effects of a hurricane that destroys most of the nation's oil refining capabilities?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The correct option is A

Oil is a resource, it is an input which is used into the production by many manufacturers. When hurricane destroys oil refining capabilities, availability of oil will be less in quantity. Hence the supply will be less and the supply curve will shift leftwards. Therefore, the correct y is A, where the supply curve is been shifted from S1 to S2.

A country experiences severe storms which destroys its main resource, oil rigs. Assume that the countries economy was in long-run equilibrium before this shock happens. Use the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model to illustrate graphically the short-run and long-run impact of this supply shock on output and prices. In other word how does the economy get back to long run? Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction the curves shift;...
