A region is in the middle of a very cold and snowy winter. As a result, hot chocolate has become more desirable, and many of the shipping channels for imported goods have closed due to the weather. What will happen to the price and quantity sold of hot chocolate made with imported cocoa?

Answer:

The price of hot chocolate will increase for sure due to the sudden increase in the quantity demanded and decrease in the supply. The net effects on the actual quantity demanded are not definite, since a small increase in price will probably not affect it that much and more chocolate sill be demanded, but if the prince increase is too high, probably the quantity demanded will fall.
