Many changes are affecting the market for oil. Predict how each of the following events will affect the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for oil. In each case, state how the event will affect the supply and demand diagram. Create a sketch of the diagram if necessary. Cars are becoming more fuel efficient, and therefore get more miles to the gallon. The winter is exceptionally cold. A major discovery of new oil is made off the coast of Norway. The economies of some major oil-using nations, like Japan, slow down. A war in the Middle East disrupts oil-pumping schedules. Landlords install additional insulation in buildings. The price of solar energy falls dramatically. Chemical companies invent a new, popular kind of plastic made from oil.

What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger?

In an analysis of the market for paint, an economist discovers the facts listed below. State whether each of these changes will affect supply or demand, and in what direction. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint. Paint is lasting longer so that property owners need not repaint as often. Because of severe hailstorms, many people need to repaint now. The hailstorms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months.
