FDA: The abbreviation for Food and Drug Administration, which is an agency of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services that deals with the safety and effectiveness of food, cosmetics, drugs, and medical implements. It was formally established in 1906 to investigate and test what turned out to be some pretty dangerous and disgusting food additives that were being fed to an unaware public. The FDA is now charged with the task of keeping food and drugs free of hazardous additives and to ensure that they perform as promised. Drugs must undergo rigorous, lengthy tests on animals and humans to prove they're safe and effective.

An increase in demand caused by one of the demand determinants.- Initial equilibrium market at price Po and quantity Qo
- Buyers acquire a sudden "appetite" for hot fudge sundaes.
A summary: - The demand curve shifts rightward.
- The initial equilibrium is no longer an equilibrium.
- The new equilibrium is at the intersection of the original supply curve with the new demand curve.
- New equilibrium price is P1 and new equilibrium quantity is Q1.
The six steps of market adjustment for an increase in demand:- A determinant changes. We have a greater appetite for hot fudge sundaes.
- A curve to shifts. The demand curve for hot fudge sundaes shifts rightward.
- A shortage or a surplus occurs. The increase in demand causes a shortage of hot fudge sundaes.
- The price changes. The price of hot fudge sundaes goes up.
- The quantities demanded and supplied change. The quantity supplied for hot fudge sundaes increases while their quantity demand is reduced.
- The market imbalance is eliminated and equilibrium is restored. The shortage of hot fudge sundaes is eliminated. The price is higher and the quantity exchanged is more.
