Let's go through each scenario on the Demand Worksheet and analyze them carefully, explaining the economic concepts involved.

Scenario 1: The price of cream cheese has risen.


Good in question: Demand for Bagels

#### 🔍 Analysis:
- Cream cheese and bagels are complementary goods — they are often consumed together.
- When the price of cream cheese increases, consumers will buy less cream cheese.
- As a result, the demand for bagels decreases, because people are less likely to buy bagels without cream cheese.
- This is a change in demand, not just a change in quantity demanded (which would be along the same demand curve due to a price change of the good itself).

#### Graph Interpretation:
- The original demand curve is D₁.
- Since demand for bagels decreases, the entire demand curve shifts leftward to D₂.
- The shift reflects that at every price, fewer bagels are demanded now.

#### 📌 Answer:
- Change in demand or quantity demanded: Change in demand
- Determinant: Price of a complementary good (cream cheese)

> 💡 *Note:* A "determinant" refers to a factor other than the price of the good itself that causes the demand curve to shift.

Scenario 2: The price of beef has decreased.


Good in question: Demand for Chicken

#### 🔍 Analysis:
- Beef and chicken are substitute goods — people can choose one over the other.
- When the price of beef decreases, it becomes more attractive relative to chicken.
- Consumers will switch from chicken to beef → demand for chicken decreases.
- Again, this is a change in demand, not a movement along the curve.

#### Graph Interpretation:
- Original demand curve: D₁
- Since demand for chicken falls, the curve shifts leftward to D₂.
- At any given price, fewer chickens are demanded.

#### 📌 Answer:
- Change in demand or quantity demanded: Change in demand
- Determinant: Price of a substitute good (beef)

Summary Table:



| Scenario | Good Affected | Change Type | Determinant |
|--------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
| 1. Price of cream cheese ↑ | Bagels | Change in demand | Price of a complementary good |
| 2. Price of beef ↓ | Chicken | Change in demand | Price of a substitute good |

---

🧠 Key Concept Recap:


- Change in Quantity Demanded: Movement along the demand curve due to a change in the price of the good itself.
- Change in Demand: Shift of the entire demand curve due to a non-price determinant (like income, prices of related goods, tastes, etc.).

In both scenarios, the price change was not of the good being analyzed (bagels or chicken), but of a related good, so these are shifts in demand.

Your red markings appear mostly correct:
- You drew the demand curves shifting left (from D₁ to D₂) — correct.
- You labeled “Compl.” (complement) and “Subst.” (substitute) — correct determinants.
- But make sure you write full names or clarify if needed.
