Economics Unit 4, Lesson 1 MARKETS TO SHIFT OR NOT TO SHIFT
Objectives • Identify the determinant that causes a change in equilibrium price. • Construct a market, and graph a change in supply and demand with new equilibrium.
What does it take to make a market? • Buyer = demand • Seller= Supply Draw a market and label • P • Q • S & D • EP & EQ

Show what would happen if Crest has a very successful ad campaign. Change in D? or Change in S?

Product: Toothpaste $ S E2 EP2 E1 EP1 D2 D1 Q EQ1 EQ2
What happened to EP? Increased To EQ? Increased So we can generalize and say if… D EP EQ
Show what would happen if the price of seaweed goes up. Change in D? or Change in S?

This was caused by a change in the cost of inputs. Seaweed is a major ingredient of toothpaste.
What happened to EP? Increased To EQ? Decreased So we can generalize and say if… S EP EQ
Show what would happen if a new machine can harvest seaweed faster and cheaper. Change in D? or Change in S?
