Supply of product decreases due to flood. Explain the chain of effects of this change on mkt equilibrium

Dear Student

Please find below the solution to your query

1.  A fall in supply during the time of natural calamity like flood,  will shift the supply curve to the left or there will be a backward shift in the supply curve due to the damage by flood.

2.   This would lead to excess demand at the initial equilibrium level. As a result, the buyers will compete and will be ready to pay higher, and as a result, the equilibrium prices will increase with a fall in the equilibrium quantity.

In this case the supply curve will shift backward and the equilibrium price rises and equilibrium quantity decreases
