Question 36

Table 1 shows the weekly market demand for and supply of artisanal oat milk at a range of prices between £4.00 and £8.00 per litre.

Following a successful social media endorsement by a prominent health influencer, the demand for artisanal oat milk increases by 50% at each of the prices shown in Table 1.

After the rise in demand:

at a price of £4.00, excess demand increases by 150%.

at a price of £8.00, excess supply falls by 50%.

the equilibrium market price increases by 40%.
