Answer to comment question

The term determinates and it subsequent changes are related to the issues that would change (an increase or decrese) in either supply and demand. An example of a determinate in supply would be the available amount of resources or the input capacity of the industry. An example of a change or shift would be an increase in a fad, taste or preference of indivduals for items creating an increase in demand.

Hope this helps. thanks

Please remember that you were to have read the topics listed on your syllabus for the first unit in your textbook (the green cover McConnell and Brue).
