10. Textbook: Problem 2.28, p. 73. The problem typed out:

Consider the following sequence of events in the U.S. market for strawberries during the

years 19982000:

1998: Uneventful. The market price was $5.00 per bushel, and 4 million bushels were sold.

1999: There was a scare over the possibility of contaminated strawberries from Michigan.

The market price was $4.50 per bushel, and 2.5 million bushels were sold.

2000: By the beginning of the year, the scare over contaminated strawberries ended when

the media reported that the initial reports about the contamination were a hoax. A series

of oods in the Midwest, however, destroyed signicant portions of the strawberry elds in

Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. The market price was $8.00 per bushel, and 3.5 million bushels

were sold.

Find linear demand and supply curves that are consistent with this information.
