Consider the market renting U-Haul trailers for moves between Los Angeles, California, and Dallas, Texas. According to U-Haul's website (on January 29, 2018), the cost of renting a 10-foot U-Haul trailer for pickup in Los Angeles and drop-off in Dallas is $1,800. Assume that market prices are determined by the market equilibrium and that the market is initially in equilibrium. A demand curve and supply curve for U-Haul trailers for moves from California to Texas are shown below. The market equilibrium 'e.' Suppose over time Los Angeles has fewer and fewer U-Haul trailers available for moves to Dallas (because few people "return" trailers to Los Angeles by moving from Texas to California). How would this affect the market for U-Haul trailers for moves from Los Angeles to Dallas? p. S per rental S1.800
