Solution Steps

Step 1: Plot Vanessa's Demand Curve
  • At a price of $8 per pound, Vanessa demands 1 pound of dark chocolate.
  • At a price of $1 per pound, Vanessa demands 3 pounds of dark chocolate.
  • Plot these points on the graph for Vanessa's demand curve:
    • (1, 8)
    • (3, 1)
Step 2: Plot Angela's Demand Curve
  • At a price of $8 per pound, Angela demands 3 pounds of dark chocolate.
  • At a price of $1 per pound, Angela demands 5 pounds of dark chocolate.
  • Plot these points on the graph for Angela's demand curve:
    • (3, 8)
    • (5, 1)
Step 3: Plot the Market Demand Curve
  • The market demand is the sum of Vanessa's and Angela's demand at each price level.
  • At $8 per pound:
    • Vanessa: 1 pound
    • Angela: 3 pounds
    • Market: 1 + 3 = 4 pounds
  • At $1 per pound:
    • Vanessa: 3 pounds
    • Angela: 5 pounds
    • Market: 3 + 5 = 8 pounds
  • Plot these points on the graph for the market demand curve:
    • (4, 8)
    • (8, 1)

Final Answer

  • Vanessa's demand curve points: (1, 8) and (3, 1)
  • Angela's demand curve points: (3, 8) and (5, 1)
  • Market demand curve points: (4, 8) and (8, 1)
