Demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes why the graphs you select may explain the topic discussed in the articles.

Final Research Assignment
Applying Supply and Demand: Real World Examples
For this assignment you will find two news articles (not a blog, not Wikipedia, not an opinion article, a news article) that imply (not directly describe) a change in supply, demand, or both in a real-world market. The learning objective is to understand how supply and demand impact markets and prices.
Assignment History
Find two news articles from the Internet that illustrate a shift in supply and/or demand but DO
NOT directly refer to supply and/or demand. The articles need to illustrate at least two of the four
graphs. The articles must be recent (within the last six months), and MUST NOT be from an
encyclopedia, journal, or reference website that discusses demand and supply.
DO NOT use blogs.
The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a particular product. You then have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes why the graphs you select may explain the topic discussed in the articles.
RECOMMENDATION: READ THE SAMPLE PROJECT: Under the Getting Started link.
Summarize the article. (Do not quote the article, but explain it as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or paraphrases, remember that citations and references are required.) If you use more than one article, then citations are required.
Explain which graph in our collection – A, B, C, or D – illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in equilibrium quantity. Remember to illustrate the shifts shown in at least two of the four graphs
Demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes why the graphs you select may explain the topic discussed in the articles.
