Suppose coffee and milk are complements, and the price of coffee decreases. Which
of the following WILL occur in the milk market, in the movement from the old
equilibrium to the new equilibrium?
1. A decrease in demand.
2. An increase in quantity supplied.

2 and 3 only.
2 only.
Question 4
Suppose there is a decrease in supply in a market where the supply curve slopes upwards
and the demand curve slopes downwards. Which of the following would not occur?
a) An excess supply.
b) A fall in price.
c) A fall in supply.
d) A fall in the equilibrium level of expenditure.
Question 5
Suppose a market is in equilibrium, and then the demand increases. Which of the following
would be shown on a graph that illustrated the effects?
a) An excess demand at the initial equilibrium price.
b) An excess demand at the new equilibrium price.
c) An excess supply at the initial equilibrium price.
d) An excess supply at the new equilibrium price.
The task I am struggling with:
Determine the supply and demand function and the equilibrium point.Graph the results.Demand. If a given product is priced at $7 per unit, there is a demand for 4 units;if a given product is priced at $6 per unit, there is a demand for 8 units.Supply. If a given product is priced at $9 per unit, suppliers are willing to produce4 units; if a given product is priced at $23 per unit, suppliers are willing toproduce 12 units.
Thank you very much.
