Multiple Choice

Figure 3.14 Figure 3.14   Alt text for Figure 3.14: In figure 3.14, a graph plotting intersecting demand and supply curves represents the change in equilibrium point in the apple market with the decrease in the price of a substitute fruit, orange and the increase in the wages of apple workers. Long description for Figure 3.14: The x-axis is labelled, Quantity and the y-axis is labelled, Price.Curve D1 is a straight line which slopes down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.Curve D2 is parallel with curve D1, but is plotted to the left.Curve S1 is a straight line which slopes up from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.Curve S2 is parallel to curve S1, but is plotted to the left.The 4 curves intersect at 4 points; A, B, on the right side of the lines, and C and D, on the left sides of the lines. -Refer to Figure 3.14.The graph in this figure illustrates an initial competitive equilibrium in the market for apples at the intersection of D<sub>2</sub> and S<sub>2</sub> (point A) a positive change in the technology used to produce apples and decrease in the price of oranges, a substitute for apples B) an increase in the wages of apple workers and a decrease in the price of oranges, a substitute for apples C) an increase in the number of apple producers and a decrease in the number of apple trees as a result of disease D) a decrease in the wages of apple workers and an increase in the price of oranges, a substitute for apples E) Which of the following changes would cause the equilibrium to change to point A?
