The total U.S. supply curve for frozen orange juice is the sum of the supply curve from Florida and the imported supply curve from Brazil. In a diagram, show the relationship between these three supply curves and explain in words. Using the line drawing tool, show the market supply curve for frozen orange juice. Label this supply curve 'SMarket'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. The market frozen orange juice supply curve is the of the U.S. frozen orange juice supply curve and the supply of imported frozen orange juice.

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the demand for orange juice is declining in the United States "as newer entrants in the beverage aisle, including more- exotic fruit juices, such as pomegranate, energy drinks and ready to-drink coffee, have grabbed a greater share of the market." At the same time, orange juice production has been declining as bacterial infections reduce the quantity of fruit that orange trees can produce. The article notes that despite the decline in the demand for orange juice, the price of orange juice might increase. Use a demand and supply graph of the orange juice market to illustrate how the price of orange juice might increase as a result of these events. Be sure that all curves on your graphs are properly labeled, that you show any shifts in those curves, and that you indicate the initial and final equilibrium points.
Where Prices Come From: The Interaction of Demand and Supply
The Effect of Demand and Supply Shifts on Equilibrium
Price per gallon of orange juice Quantity demanded (in gallons) $1 700 $2 600 $3 500 $4 400 $5 300 a) Graph these points with the price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. b) From the graph, is the demand curve linear or non-linear (i.e. is it a straight line?) c) Derive the demand equation (demand curve) for Jamba Juice based on the data given. d) Derive the inverse demand curve. e) Using the demand curve for Jamba Juice, state how much orange juice will be demanded at P = $0 and at P = $6. 2. The following data represents 5 points on the supply curve for Jamba Juice orange juice. Price per gallon of orange juice Quantity supplied (in gallons) $1 100 $2 300 $3 500 $4 700 $5 900 a) Graph these points with the price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. b) From the graph, is the supply curve linear or non-linear (i.e. is it a straight line?) c) Derive the supply equation (supply curve) for Jamba Juice based on the data given. d) Derive the inverse supply curve. e) Using the supply curve for Jamba Juice, state how much orange juice will be supplied at P = $0 and at P = $6. 3. Using your demand and supply curves from questions 1 and 2 above: a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for Jamba Juice? b) Graph your demand and supply curves on one graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity.

Suppose that a frost in Florida reduces the size of the orange crop, which causes the supply curve for oranges to shift to the left. Briefly explain whether consumer surplus will increase or decrease and whether producer surplus will increase or decrease. Use a demand and supply graph to illustrate your answers.
