"As domestic car prices have increased, consumers have found foreign cars to be a better bargain. Consequently, domestic car sales have fallen and foreign car sales have risen." Based on this information alone, there has been a OA. shift in the demand curves for both domestic and foreign cars. OB. shift of the demand curve for domestic cars and a movement along the demand curve for foreign cars. OC. movement along the demand curves for both domestic and foreign cars. OD movement along the demand curve for domestic cars and a shift of the demand curve for foreign cars. OE. shift in the supply curves for both domestic and foreign cars.

28) All shredded wheat producers have decided to add a new ingredient, the "crunch enhancer" to shredded wheat. Crunch enhancer keeps cereals crisper longer in milk and, as a result, consumers decide they like shredded wheat more than before. What happens to the supply and demand curves for shredded wheat now that it costs more to produce and consumers like it better? A) The supply curve shifts rightward and the demand curve remains unchanged. B) The supply curve shifts leftward and the demand curve remains unchanged. C) The supply and demand curves both shift rightward. D) Neither curve changes but a movement occurs up along the demand curve and a movement occurs up along the supply curve. E) The supply curve shifts leftward and the demand curve shifts rightward.

In the early part of the last decade, there was an overproductionof coffee. The price dropped so low that producers' costs werehigher than the market price. The reason this happened was thatmarket prices became high before this, and the supply of coffeeincreased substantially. In the meantime, demand for coffee andeverything else remained the same. Price Level 1.

Coffee prices came down again, at first overshooting the formerequilibrium price, throwing the coffee market into confusion. Inthe meantime, gourmet coffee houses began appearing, which begancharging a premium for coffee in the period of falling prices.Price Level 2.

Gourmet coffee houses tend to open in high-rent areas and cater tohigher income consumers. Because of the change they created fortaste and preferences and the higher income market, the gourmetcoffee houses had a win-win in a period of falling wholesale pricesand increasing retail prices. Price Level 3.

But in the middle of the decade, the party was over, and wholesaleprices started increasing because of some shortages caused byweather and the rising overall market prices again. Where is thenew equilibrium price? Price Level 4.

Explain the changes in the supply and demand curves based on theabove information. Draw a graph showing how the changes affect theprice levels, supply and demand.

You have been asked to discuss the differences between themicroeconomic definitions of supply and demand and themacroeconomic differences of aggregate supply and demand. Discusswhat determines supply and demand and aggregate supply andaggregate demand. Explain what causes movements along the curve andshifts in the curve for supply and demand and aggregate supply andaggregate demand (make sure that you include price as a variable).Include whether this is an example of the microeconomic definitionof supply and demand or the macroeconomic definition of aggregatesupply and demand. Most importantly, did this cause a shift in thecurves or a movement along the curves? What happened to equilibriumprice, supply, demand, aggregate supply or aggregate demand?Describe your graphs.

Please review the following work and correct me if I have mixed up the concepts of movements and shifts of supply and demand curves. Feel free to copy and edit/correct my mistakes. I'll be waiting. Thanks in advance!!

Changes in price dictate movements along demand curves. When a decrease in demand or the quality demanded occurs it's a safe bet that it's correlated to a price increase, which in turn leads to a resultant surplus of that particular commodity in the marketplace. This is because decreased demand means less of that commodity being sold. On the other hand, a price decrease usually leads to an increase in the demand for a particular commodity, or an increase in sales, which in turn leads to a shortage of that commodity in the marketplace.

To shift the demand curve itself, changes need to occur in other aspects of the market beyond simply a change in the price of a commodity. For example, an increase in income means the consumers have more disposable income. With more disposable income, demand for commodities will increase, and results in a shift of the demand curve itself. In this example, the demand curve would shift right. On the opposite side of the coin, cost increases due to production or losses in efficiency may decrease the side of supply, shifting the demand curve to the left.

Analogous to shifts in the demand curve, shifts along a supply curve occur when prices change as well. When the cost to produce a commodity increases, supply drops, and the supply curve shifts to the left. If the cost of production drops, and supply increases, the supply curve shifts to the right as demand develops.

Pharmaceutical supply and demand is an easy way to understand these concepts.

Drug demand increases: Price decreases, supplies decrease.

Drug demand decreases: Price increases, supplies increase.

Drug supply increases: Production costs drop, demand drops.

Drug supply decreases: Production costs increase, demand increases.

"But where and how do movements and shifts occur in the above?"
