  4. The demand curve shifts to the right. 1)This means there is an increase or decrease in demand? 2)What is the new equilibrium price? Is it higher or lower? 3)If firm refused to increase supply from the original equilibrium price would there be excess supply or excess demand. 4) By how much? S D1 D2

  5. S An decrease in demand Lowers/ increases Equilibrium price and Raises/ lowers Equilibrium quantity D1 D2 D2

  6. S1 S2 An increase in supply Lowers/ increases Equilibrium price and Raises/ lowers Equilibrium quantity D

  7. S2 An decrease in supply Lowers/ increases Equilibrium price and Raises/ lowers Equilibrium quantity S1 D
