Assume that the graphs show a competitive market for the product stated in the question.   In graph 1, an increasing line, S intersects two decreasing lines, D1 and D2 at points E1 and E2, respectively. A positive shift from D1 to D2 (to the right) is shown with an increase in price from P1 to P2 and increase in quantity from q1 to q2. In graph 2, an increasing line, S intersects two decreasing lines, D1 and D2 at points E1 and E2, respectively. A negative shift from D1 to D2 (to the left) is shown with a decrease in price from P1 to P2 and decease in quantity from q1 to q2. In graph 3, two increasing lines, S1 and S2 intersects a decreasing line, D at points E1 and E2, respectively. A positive shift from S1 to S2 (to the right) is shown with a decrease in price from P1 to P2 and increase in quantity from Q1 to Q2. In graph 4, two increasing lines, S1 and S2 intersects a decreasing line, D at points E1 and E2, respectively. A negative shift from S1 to S2 (to the left) is shown with an increase in price from P1 to P2 and decease in quantity from Q1 to Q2.

Step-by-Step Analysis
To analyze how the market for chicken changes when the price of a substitute (beef) decreases, we start by considering the relationship between substitutes and demand. When the price of a substitute falls, consumers switch away from chicken toward the cheaper substitute, causing the quantity demanded for chicken to fall and the market demand for chicken to shift to the left (a decrease in demand). Option analysis: - Graph (4): In this graph, the......Login to view full explanation
