Answer 1

Answer: the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.

Explanation:

Since the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build, then the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.

Builders will be willing to produce more houses because they'll intend to get the $10000 given by the government and this will be a source of motivation. Therefore, the supply curve will shift to the right.
