Summary: For three years following the Covid-19 pandemic, food companies raised their prices sharply in order to cover rising costs. As a result, the fraction of consumer income spent on food reached its highest level in three decades. But now restaurant chains and food manufacturers are reporting sales decreases as consumers refuse to pay prices that, in some cases, are a third higher than they were prior to the pandemic. Questions: 1. Draw and label a graph that depicts a linear demand curve (D) in the market for chocolate chip cookies. Refer to your graph to explain the difference between a change in the quantity demanded and a change in the demand for chocolate chip cookies. 2. Draw a linear supply curve (S) that intersects the demand curve in the graph you drew to answer the previous question. Show how an increase in the price of cookie dough will affect the supply of chocolate chip cookies.

Draw a demand and supply graph for each of the following questions. For each question, start by drawing a correctly labeled graph of the market for cookies in equilibrium. Your starting graphs should have correctly labeled axes and demand and supply curves. Label the equilibrium price and quantity on the axes of each of the starting graphs. 1. Show the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for cookies if the price of milk increases. Determine which curve is affected by the change in the price of milk and whether it increases or decreases. On your graph, draw a new curve indicating the shift either to the right or the left. Label the new equilibrium price and quantity as p2 and q2. 2. Show the effect on the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for cookies if the price of flour decreases. Determine which curve is affected by the change in the price of flour and whether it increases or decreases. On your graph, draw a new curve indicating the shift either to the right or the left. Label the new equilibrium price and quantity as p2 and q2.
