I. Some important terminology
A. change in quantity demanded vs change in demand
A change in quantity demanded is caused by
a change in the ________________________.It is depicted by a _____________________
a given demand curve.
_________________________________________________________________________________
B. change in quantity supplied vs change in supply
A change in quantity supplied is caused by
a change in the ________________________.
It is depicted by a _____________________
a given supply curve.
A _____________________________ can be caused

II. How to analyze a change in equilibrium
1. Decide if the event shifts supply, demand, both, or neither.
2. Decide the direction of the shift.
3. Graph the change to see what happens to equilibrium.
- one curve shifting = one graph
- two curves shifting = two graphs
For each of the following events, identify whether demand or supply is affected and illustrate on the
graph. Explain.
When a cold snap hits Florida, the price of orange juice rises in supermarkets throughout the country.
Market for Orange Juice
When the weather turns warm in North America every summer, the price of hotel rooms in Caribbean

When engineers develop faster computer chips, the price of computers falls.
Market for Computers
When a war breaks out in the Middle East, the price of oil rises. In China, the middle class is growing
and can afford to buy cars. What happens in the market for gasoline?
III. Equilibrium Analysis using Algebra
Market research has revealed the following information about the market for chocolate bars: The
demand can be represented by the equation QD
= 1,600300P. The supply can be represented by the
equation QS
= 1,400 + 700P.
a) Solve for equilibrium price and quantity.
b) Illustrate on a graph.

c) Now suppose that scientists announce that chocolate can cure cancer. The demand increases to QD
=
3,000300P. Solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. Then show your results on youroriginal graph.
