1. Graph the movement along the supply curve when the price of hamburger rises from
P/40 to P/60 per unit. Explain the movement of the supply curve.
2. Graph the shifts of the supply curve when the seller would choose to sell 50,000
instead of 40,000 hamburgers at price P/40. Explain the shift of the supply curve.
3. Many lanzones and rambutan farmers open temporary roadside stands during harvest
season, even though prices are usually low at that time. In this case, as the price of
their product falls, farmers sell more, not less. Is this an exception to the law of
supply?

An increase in demand for hamburgers is indicated by a rightward shift of demand curve. A decrease in demand is indicated by a left-ward shift of the demand curve.
