Answer to Question 1

a. Since a great deal of the corn crop has been destroyed by the flood, the supply curve for corn will shift leftwards and the price of corn will increase.
b. When the price of a substitute such as wheat increases, the demand for corn will increase. The demand curve will shift rightwards and the price of corn will increase.
c. Corn (not surprisingly) is an important input in the production of corn dogs. If consumers prefer fewer corn dogs, the demand curve for corn will shift leftwards and the price of corn will fall.
d. As more buyers enter the market, the demand for corn will increase. The demand curve will shift rightwards and the price of corn will increase.
