Question 2 (1 point) Question 01: It's a hot day and Bert is thirsty. The below table shows the value, or "utility", Bert places on a bottle of water. Let's assume his "willingness to pay" will be equal to his "utility". c) If the price of a bottle of water falls to $2, how does the quantity demanded change? Compare this with your answer in part (a) – does the law of demand hold? (c) If the price falls to $2 Bert will buy just 1 bottle. The law of demand does A) not hold because there is a positive relationship between price and quantity demanded. (c) If the price falls to $2 Bert will buy only 2 bottles. The law of demand does B) not hold because there is no relationship between price and quantity demanded. (c) If the price falls to $2 Bert will buy 3 bottles, but not the 4th bottle as the happiness he would get from the 4th is less than the cost (price). The law of demand holds because there is a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded.
Good A (an inferior good) and Good B (a normal good) are viewed by consumers to be substitute products. Suppose that the price of Good B falls at the same time that consumer income increases. What is the net effect of these two events on equilibrium in the market for Good A? an increase in equilibrium quantity and an indeterminate effect on price a decrease in both the equilibrium price and quantity an indeterminate effect on quantity but an increase in price an increase in both the equilibrium price and quantity
If a good is free, when will a consumer stop wanting to buy the good? Once the total utility equals zero At the quantity where marginal utility is at its maximum Once the marginal utility equals zero When marginal utility is negative Once the marginal utility equals total utility What is used to measure a consumer's entire satisfaction or happiness of a choice? Total utility Marginal cost Marginal utility Total Revenue Total costs Which of the following best defines the term utility as it is used by economists? when a market allocates resources in a way that maximizes consumer and producer surplus
Two goods are substitutes if a decrease in the price of one good. This will lead to: Select one: a. reduces the quantity demanded of the other good b. increases the demand for the other good. c. increases the quantity demanded of the other good d. reduces the demand for the other good
3)What is the relationship between a demand schedule and a demand curve? * a)A demand schedule shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand curve shows the various prices. b)A demand schedule is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand curve is a graphical representation of the law of demand. c)A demand curve shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand schedule shows the various prices. d)A demand curve is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand schedule is a graphical representation of the law of demand.
Which of the following statements is true for a Giffen good? (a) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; an increase in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the substitution effect will outweigh the income effect. (b) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to both the substitution and income effect and the two effects will therefore reinforce each other. (c) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the substitution effect will outweigh the income effect. (d) Following a fall in the price of the good, there will be an increase in the quantity demanded due to the substitution effect; a decrease in the quantity demanded due to the income effect; the income effect will outweigh the…
A consumer buys two goods X and Y. Suppose price of Good X falls. What will be its effect on its demand? Give two reasons
Which one of the following statements is correct?A. A rise in the price of a good will cause the supply curve of that good to shift to the right (ie the supply of the good will increase).B. A fall in the price of a good will result in a rightward shift of the demand curve, ceteris paribus (ie the demand for the product will increase).C. The quantity demanded of a good depends on the availability of the good.D. Demand is a synonym for wants. In other words, if a consumer demands a good it simply means that he or she wants the good.E. A decrease in the prices of the factors of production used to produce a certain product will give rise to an increase in the supply of the product (illustrated by a rightward shift of the supply curve).
As the price of GOOD A increases by 20%, the quantity demanded of GOOD B increases by 10%. What is the relationship of the two goods? Show the necessary computation to support your answer.
Demand curves are generally downsloping. Using a good of your own choosing as an example, fully explain two of the three “effects” that cause the demand curve to take this shape. Continuing with the example good of your choice, explain what changes would cause the demand curve to shift citing two examples and contrasting to that which only changes quantity demanded.
Suppose goods A and B are substitutes. If the price of good A increases, will the demand for good B increase or decrease?
What is one consumer food or service for which in the last 10 to 15 years consumers preference has actually increased, and still, the price has decreased. Based on all the supply and demand determinants, what is a possible reason that could cause the decrease in the price of the suggested good.
