Question

Milk has an inelastic demand, and beef has an elastic demand. Suppose that a mysterious increase in bovine infertility decreases both the population of dairy cows and the population of beef cattle by 50 percent.

The equilibrium price will:
a. increase in both the milk and beef markets.
b. increase in the milk market and decrease in the beef market.
c. decrease in the milk market and increase in the beef market.
d. decrease in both the milk and beef markets.

Answer 1

increase in both the milk and beef markets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the bovine infrrtilty, the quantity supplied of milk and beef would fall. The supply curves for both beef and milk would shift inwards and prices of both would rise.
