Question
In a recent analysis of the coffee market, it was determined that buyers are willing to purchase 10 million pounds of coffee at a price of 4/lb, they will buy 35 million pounds of coffee. Producers, on the other hand, are willing to provide 15 million pounds of coffee at 9/lb.Instructions: Prepare a Supply and Demand graph using the information in the above scenario.
Solution
To prepare a Supply and Demand graph using the information in the above scenario, follow these steps:
-
Draw two axes on a graph. Label the horizontal axis as "Quantity" and the vertical axis as "Price".
-
Plot the demand points. The first point is (10 million, 4). Connect these points with a line and label it as "Demand".
-
Plot the supply points. The first point is (15 million, 9). Connect these points with a line and label it as "Supply".
-
The point where the supply and demand lines intersect is the equilibrium point. This point represents the price and quantity at which the market will clear.
Remember, the demand curve slopes downwards from left to right (as price increases, quantity demanded decreases) and the supply curve slopes upwards from left to right (as price increases, quantity supplied increases).
