7. Yoo-hoo! Big summer blowout!
What would happen to the price and quantity of sunblock if summer suddenly became winter?

8. Supply and Demand Analysis
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Before the change:
Draw supply and demand
Label original equilibrium price and quantity
The change:
Did it affect supply or demand first?
Which determinant caused the shift?
Draw increase or decrease
After change:
Label new equilibrium?
What happens to Price? (increase or decrease)
What happens to Quantity? (increase or decrease)
Let’s Practice!

16. Double Shifts Double Shift Rule:
Suppose the demand for milk increased at the same time as production technology improved.
Use S&D Analysis to show what will happen to PRICE and QUANTITY.
Double Shift Rule:
If TWO curves shift at the same time, EITHER price or quantity will be indeterminate (ambiguous).
