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.
