Answer: How does a supply shock affect equilibrium price and quantity?

A. Raises prices and decreases quantity demanded

Explanation: The prices raise as there is a decrease in quantity demanded to make up for the loss of sales. This typically happens when the product or service is not meeting the consumers needs anymore, so the goods or services are not being sold and consumed.
