Can you help me with the following five scenarios? Please draw a separate diagram to demonstrate the answer, and describe what happens to equilibrium price and sales, explaining why or why not this makes sense in the real world (Hint: Remember the difference in a change in demand [supply] and a change in quantity demanded [supplied]. Don't shift both curves unless appropriate).
