Explanation:

a. If supply decreases then the supply curve shifts to the left. If demand remains constant the equilibrium price increases and the equilibrium quantity decrease.  

b. If demand decreases then the demand curve shifts to the left. If supply remains constant the equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity decrease.

c. If supply increases then the supply curve shifts to the right If the demand remains constant the equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity increases.

d. If demand increases then the demand curve shifts to the right. If supply increases, then the supply curve shifts to the right. The equilibrium price is undetermined because it depends on the shift’s magnitude but in all cases the equilibrium quantity increases.

e. If demand increases then the demand curve shifts to the right. If supply remains constant the equilibrium price increases and the equilibrium quantity increase.

f. If supply increases then the supply curve shifts to the right. If demand decreases, then the demand curve shifts to the left. The equilibrium price is undetermined, and the equilibrium quantity always decreases.

g. If demand increases then the demand curve shifts to the right. If supply decreases, then the supply curve shifts to the left. The equilibrium price is undetermined because it depends on the shift’s magnitude but in all cases the equilibrium quantity increases.

h. If demand decreases (shift to the left) and supply decreases (shift to the left). The equilibrium price in all cases decreases and the equilibrium quantity is undetermined because it depends on the shift’s magnitude
