Consider the market for pens. suppose that a new educational study has proven that the practice of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves students’ ability to process information, leading parents to steer away from pen use in favor of pencils. moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.on the following graph, labeled scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens.graph: demand and supply graph are intersecting at 5 million. supply increasing from 0 and demand decreasing from 10.next, complete the following graph, labeled scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the scenario 1 graph.graph: demand and supply graph are intersecting at 5 million. supply increasing from 0 and demand decreasing from 10.compare both the scenario 1 and scenario 2 graphs. notice that after completing both graphs, you can now see a difference between them that wasn’t apparent before the shifts because each graph indicates different magnitudes for the supply and demand shifts in the market for pens.use the results of your answers on both the scenario 1 and scenario 2 graphs to complete the following table. begin by indicating the overall change in the equilibrium price and quantity after the shift in demand or supply for each shift-magnitude scenario. then, in the final column, indicate the resulting change in the equilibrium price and quantity when supply and demand shift in the direction you previously indicated on both graphs. if you cannot determine the answer without knowing the magnitude of the shifts, choose cannot determine.equilibrium object change in equilibrium objectsscenario 1 scenario 2 when shift magnitudes are unknownprice ? ? ? quantity? ? ? options: cannot determine, decreases, increasestrue or false: when both the demand and supply curve shift, the curve that shifts with the smaller magnitude determines the effect on the undetermined equilibrium object.truefalse
