Solution

The data shows that between May and June, the price of crude oil increased from 1.6pergallonto1.6 per gallon to 2 per gallon. However, the quantity supplied remained the same at 250 million gallons. This indicates that there was no movement along the supply curve because the quantity supplied did not change.

Also, there was no shift in the supply curve to the right or left because a shift in the supply curve would imply a change in the quantity supplied at all price levels, which is not the case here.

Therefore, the correct answer is: None of the above options are correct. The situation described between May and June indicates a change in the price of crude oil, but not a change in the quantity supplied or the position of the supply curve.

Demand and supply often shift in the retail market for gasoline. Below are two demand curves and two supply curves for gallons of gasoline in the month of May in a small town in Maine. Some of the data are missing.Using the table, answer the following questions:Price Quantities Demanded Quantities SuppliedD1 D2 S1 S2$ 7.00 10,000 15,000 18,000 19,000 12,000 16,000 16,000 18,0005.00 17,000 17,000 18,000 12,000 Instructions: Round your answers for price to 2 decimal places. Enter quantities as a whole number.Use the following facts to fill in the missing data in the table. If demand is D1 and supply is S1, the equilibrium quantity is 14,000 gallons per month. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, the equilibrium price is $6.00 per gallon. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, there is an excess demand of 6,000 gallons per month at a price of $4.00 per gallon. If demand is D1 and supply is S2, the equilibrium quantity is 16,000 gallons per month.Compare two equilibriums. In the first, demand is D1 and supply is S1. In the second, demand is D1 and supply is S2.By how much does the equilibrium quantity change?Equilibrium quantity by gallons per month.By how much does the equilibrium price change?Equilibrium price by $ .If supply falls from S2 to S1 while demand simultaneously declines from D2 to D1, does the equilibrium price rise, fall, or stay the same?What happens if only supply falls?What happens if only demand falls?Suppose that supply is fixed at S1 and that demand starts at D1.By how many gallons per month would demand have to increase at each price such that the equilibrium price per gallon would be $6.00? gallons per monthBy how many gallons per month would demand have to increase at each price such that the equilibrium price per gallon would be $7.00? gallons per month
