  Need ALT text   Suppose the initial equilibrium corresponded to a quantity equal to 1,000 and a price equal to $100. For the change in supply and no change in demand, the equilibrium quantity is 1,250 and the equilibrium price is $70. For the change in demand and no change in supply, the equilibrium quantity is 750. When both supply and demand change, assume the equilibrium is $40.
