Price (in $) Demand (in units) Supply (in units)
1 100 10
2 90 15
3 80 20
4 70 25
5 60 30
6 50 35

1. Draw the corresponding supply and demand curves.

2. What are the equilibrium price and quantity traded?

3. Would a price of $9 result in a shortage or a surplus? How large?

4. Would a price of $3 result in a shortage or a surplus? How large?

5. If the demand for Z increases by 15 units at every price, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity traded be?

6. Given the original demand for Z, if the supply of Z were increased by 15 units at every price, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity traded be?

The primary difference between a change in supply and a change in the quantity supplied is:
Choose one answer.
a. a change in quantity supplied is a shift in the supply curve, and a change in supply is a movement along the supply curve.
b. both a change in quantity supplied and a change in supply are movements along the supply curve, only in different directions.
c. a change in quantity supplied is a movement along the supply curve, and a change in supply is a shift of the supply curve.
d. a change in supply is a movement to the left along the supply curve and a change in quantity supplied is a movement to the right along the supply curve.

Question 2
What is the difference between a shortage and scarcity?
Choose one answer.
a. Scarcity will always exist because choices must be made, but a shortage will only exist if the price is kept below the equilibrium level.
b. Scarcity is a result of two or more alternative uses and will always exist, and quantities of supply and demand adjusting to flexible prices will create shortages.
c. A surplus will exist when a good is scarce; a shortage merely implies that there isn't as much of something as people would like, which is nearly always the case.
d. There is no distinction between the two. They are the same thing.

Question 3
A decrease in supply means:
Choose one answer.

d. more will be supplied at every price.

Question 4
A decrease in demand, with no change in supply, will lead to ________ in equilibrium quantity and ________ in equilibrium price.

d. a decrease; a decrease
