'True or False: When the demand curve and the supply curve shift In the directions Indicated on this graph the effect on the equllibrium price clear even without knowing the magnitude of the shifts True False'
Haricharan G.
When we observe an increase in both price and quantity, we know that the demand curve must have shifted rightward. However, we cannot rule a shift in the supply curve as well. Prove this by drawing a supply-and-demand diagram for each of the following cases: a. Demand curve shifts rightward, supply curve shifts leftward, equilibrium price and quantity both rise. b. Demand and supply curves both shift rightward, equilibrium price and quantity both rise. c. Evaluate the following statement: "During the oil price spike from 2007 to mid- 2008 , we know the supply curve could not have shifted leftward, because quantity supplied rose." True or False? Explain.
