1. Suppose the market demand and supply curves for a market are initially given by the following equations:
Market Demand: Q = 20,000 - 10P
Market Supply: Q = 50P - 10,000
where Q is the market quantity and P is the price per unit. Suppose something happens in this market such that the market, once it adjusts to this event, finds itself at a new equilibrium price of $800 and a new equilibrium quantity of 12,000 units. Which of the following (circle your preferred answer) is most likely the cause of this new equilibrium?
a. The market demand curve shifted.
b. The market supply curve shifted.
2. Suppose the market for coffee beans is initially in equilibrium.

3. Suppose the domestic market for peanuts in Topland, a small economy, is described by the following equations:
