Why i love my new econ proffessor.

Not only does this man teach econ in the right way, make the class at least somewhat interesting, but today i found another reason why i like him so much. Doing my online assignment for the day i happened upon this question in my unit.

Needless to say i got a good laugh (and answered it correctly). One of my friends says he spends a whole week on the black market and its effects on supply and demand in the economy. In macro we talked about the black market for about a minute before moving on, should be a pretty interesting few days when we reach that point.

Note: if the words are too small click on the picture to enlarge it. Do this while saying the word "enhance" in your best imitation of the scene from blade runner.

Yup, although technically, me being a pothead, id say that the equilibrium price would drop as well. If you use the current prices for an oz of marijuana (lets just say 300 bucks) an obvious increase in the amount supplied coupled by the legalization would ultimately lead to lower prices. Couple that with an extreme raise in demand for the product and it lowers the price even more.
However since this knowledge didn't apply to the question i had to choose c. :P

heightened demand raises the price... Higher supply will lower the price.
Definately C.

no you're wrong on that. Heightend demand does not raise the price. An extreme raise in supply will raise the price but the people wont buy much of anything above the equilibrium point.
If you know how to graph a demand curve do it. Since a demand curve is negatively sloped the highest price on the y axis will produce a quantity of zero items bought. As you moved down the y axis the quantities demanded increase on the x.
However rereading my post i notice i just said quantity and not quantity demanded. Two different things and you would be right in that aspect.

Demand = Consumers buying it. the price will rise, no graph needed.
If supply exceeds demand the price will drop. If demand exceeds supply the price rises.

right, reread my post man, i noticed i made a mistake in my wording. There is a huge difference between demand and quantity demanded. I wanted to use the latter but slipped and used the former.
It's all good tho, i fucking hate econ and can't wait to get finished with it.

I like it alot... I've never taken any classes, but it's business the way I see it. It's fascinating to me.
That professor does sound really cool, btw.
