Suppose the market for beef cattle was initially in equilibrium .An increase in the price of the fodder used to feed cattle would cause:
A) the demand for beef cattle to increase,driving the price of beef upward.
B) the supply of beef cattle to decline,driving the price of beef upward in the long run.
C) the supply of beef to increase,placing downward pressure on the price of beef in the long run.
D) both supply and demand to fall,leaving the price of beef virtually unchanged.
E) the supply of beef to increase,driving the price of beef down and increasing demand.
Price of Fodder
The cost at which agricultural feed for livestock is bought or sold in the market.
Beef Cattle

Supply of Beef
The total amount of beef that producers are willing and able to sell at a given price level.
- Perceive the concept of market homeostasis and how shifts in supply and demand influence the equilibrium price and quantity.
- Acknowledge the effect of costs of production and inputs on the supply side in the marketplace.
- Delve into market scenarios to evaluate the repercussions of shifts in supply and demand on the directional alteration in equilibrium price and quantity.
