Shifting Supply and
Demand
12
Assume shifts in supply or demand change
equilibrium P and Q instantaneously
13
Supply and Demand Analysis
Easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Before the change:
• Draw supply and demand
• Label original equilibrium price and quantity
2. The change:
• Did it affect supply or demand first?
• Which determinant caused the shift?
• Draw increase or decrease
3. After change:
• Label new equilibrium?
• What happens to Price? (increase or decrease)
• What happens to Quantity? (increase or decrease)
Let’s Practice!
14
S&D Analysis Practice
1. Before Change (Draw equilibrium)
2. The Change (S or D, Identify Shifter)
3. After Change (Price and Quantity After)
Analyze Hamburgers
1. Price of sushi (a substitute) increases
2. New grilling technology cuts production
time in half
3. Price of burgers falls from $3 to $1.
4. Price for ground beef triples
5. Human fingers found in multiple burger
restaurants.

Voluntary Exchange
In the free-market, buyers and sellers voluntarily come
together to seek mutual benefits.

Example of Voluntary Exchange
Ex: You want to buy a truck so you go to the local
dealership. You are willing to spend up to $20,000 for a
new 4x4. The seller is willing to sell this truck for no less
than $15,000. After some negotiation you buy the truck
for $18,000.
Analysis:
Buyer’ Maximum- $20,000
Sellers Minimum- $15,000
Price- $18,000
Consumer’s Surplus-$2,000
Producer’s Surplus- $3,000
20
Voluntary Exchange Terms
Consumer Surplus is the difference
between what you are willing to pay
and what you actually pay.
CS = Buyer’s Maximum – Price
Producer’s Surplus is the difference
between the price the seller received
and how much they were willing to sell
it for.
PS = Price – Seller’s Minimum

Double Shifts
• Suppose the demand for sports cars fell at the
same time as production technology improved.
• Use S&D Analysis to show what will happen to
PRICE and QUANTITY.
If TWO curves shift at the same
time, EITHER price or quantity
will be indeterminate.
