Hi! I need some help with this. I'm not for sure where to even start... thank you.

Suppose that a new educational study has proven that the practice of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves students' ability to process information, leading parents to steer away from pen use in favor of pencils. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Scenario 1 10 Supply Demand Supply 3 Demand 3 10 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) Next, complete the following graph, labeled Scenario 2, by shifting the supply and demand curves in the same way that you did on the Scenario 1 graph. (? Scenario 2 10 Supply Demand Supply 3 Demand 3 10 QUANTITY (Millions of pens) Compare both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs. Notice that after completing both graphs, you can now see a difference between them that wasn't apparent before the shifts because each graph indicates different magnitudes for the supply and demand shifts in the market for pens. PRICE (Dollars per pen) PRICE (Dollars per pen)
Use the results of your answers on both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 graphs to complete the<br>following table. Begin by indicating the overall change in the equilibrium price and quantity after the<br>shift in demand or supply for each shift-magnitude scenario. Then, in the final column, indicate the<br>resulting change in the equilibrium price and quantity when supply and demand shift in the direction<br>you previously indicated on both graphs. If you cannot determine the answer without knowing the<br>magnitude of the shifts, choose Cannot determine.<br>Change in Equilibrium Objects<br>When Shift<br>Equilibrium<br>Object<br>Price<br>Magnitudes Are<br>Unknown<br>Scenario 1<br>Scenario 2<br>Quantity<br>True or False: When both the demand and supply curves shift, you can always determine the effect<br>on price and quantity without knowing the magnitude of the shifts.<br>o True<br>o False<br>
