4. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture The following graph illustrates the market for cashews. It plots the monthly supply of cashews and the monthly demand for cashews. Suppose new gathering technology is invented, allowing growers to produce more crops using the same amount of resources. Show the effect this shock has on the market for cashews by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.Show the effect this shock has on the market for cashews by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both.

Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or Fall in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand For cashews between the price levels of $20 and $12 per ton is V , meaning that between these two points, demand is Y .Thus, you can conclude that the grower's claim is Y , because total revenue will Y due to the technological improvement
