Suppose that the jackfruit industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of jackfruit and quantity of 100 million pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as jackfruit could increase your expected lifespan by 3 years. The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand more jackfruit at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by

Suppose that the tempeh industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of tempeh and quantity of 25 million pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as tempeh could increase your expected lifespan by 6 years. The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand tempeh at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by . Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the publication. Demand Supply 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 PRICE (Dollars per pound) QUANTITY (Millions of pounds) Demand Supply In the long run, some firms will respond by until . Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate both the short-run effects of the publication and the new long-run equilibrium after firms and consumers finish adjusting to the news. Demand Supply 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 PRICE (Dollars per pound) QUANTITY (Millions of pounds) Demand Supply The new equilibrium price and quantity suggest that the shape of the long-run supply curve in this industry is in the long run.

Suppose that the jackfruit industry is initially operating in the long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of jackfruit and a quantity of 225 million pounds per year. Suppose that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that compounds naturally occurring in jackfruit are linked to chronic illness.

Suppose that the tofu industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per block of tofu and a quantity of 75 million blocks per year. Suppose that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that compounds naturally occurring in tofu are linked to chronic illness. The FDA's research is expected to cause consumers to demand tofu at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by . Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the FDA's research. In the long run, some firms will respond by until . Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate both the short-run effects of the FDA's research and the new long-run equilibrium after firms and consumers finish adjusting to the news. The new equilibrium price and quantity suggest that the shape of the long-run supply curve in this industry is in the long run.
