Suppose initially that the demand supply for premium coffees (one-pound bags) are in equilibrium. Now suppose Starbucks introduces the world premium blends, demand increase substantially. Explain what will happen in this market as it moves to a new equilibrium. If a hard freeze eliminates Brazil's premium coffee crop, what will happen to the price of premium coffee?

In the late 2006 and early 2007, orange crops in Florida were smaller than expected, and the crop in California was put in a deep freeze by an Arctic cold front. As a result, the production of oranges was severely reduced. In addition, in early 2007, President George W. Bush called for the US to increase it gasoline consumption by 20% in the next decade. He proposed an increase in ethanol produced from corn and stalks and leaves from corn and other grasses. What is the likely impact of these two events on food prices in the US?
