Search the Internet using a search engine (such as Google) for a recent article that discusses a change in the price of a good or service sold in a competitive market. For example, search "price increase/decrease," "price rise/drop". Avoid articles that refer to a large market, such as an article referring to an increase in "food" prices. Instead, focus for example on the price rise of "eggs", or "milk", as specific examples of the large food category. Also, avoid articles about the stock market. Copy the URL address of the website the article was found.

• Provide the web link of the article: www. _______________________.

2. Step 2: State in which direction each curve shifts. (5 points)
3. Step 3: Draw the graph(s), and find and label the original and new equilibrium points. Conclude whether the equilibrium price has increased or decreased. Conclude whether the equilibrium quantity has increased or decreased. (10 points)
4. Explain if your theoretical predictions match the price change referenced in the article, and if available, any information on changes in the quantity sold. (5 points)
