The table below shows the supply and demand conditions for a textile factory, which waste water add many pollutants to a nearby river. Demand and supply schedule for a textile factory Price Qd QS 200 10,000 4,000 300 9,000 6,000 400 8,000 8,000 500 7,000 9,000 600 6,000 9,500 700 5,000 9,800 800 4,000 9,900 Based on the table below, what is the equilibrium price (P*) and equilibrium quantity (Q*)? Suppose that new environmental laws are passed and all textile producers must reduce the number of pollutants found in their waste water. In order to do so, they must add one more water cleaning step in their production process before disposing the water in the nearby river. Given these conditions, which curve will shift? The supply or the demand curve? To which side this curve will shift? To the right or to the left? Justify your answer! Based on your answer on part (b) complete the table below with the new values for Qd or Qs that will vary by 2,000 units (for instance, if you answered that demand shifted right, your new Qd will increase by 2,000 for each price level). What is the new equilibrium price (P*) and the new equilibrium quantity (Q*)? Is the new P* and Q* higher or lower compared to part (a)? Justify your answer!
