Which of the following statement is correct about the Law of Demand?
Group of answer choices
When the price of the good or service increases, the demand for the good or service will decrease, ceteris paribus.
When the price of the good or service increases, the quantity of demanded will decrease.
When the price of the good or service increases, the demand of good or service will increase, ceteris paribus.
When the price of the good or service increases, the quantity of demanded for the good or service will increase, ceteris paribus.
When the price of the good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for the good or service will increase, ceteris paribus.
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).
Suppose there is an increase in consumers' incomes. In the market for automobiles(a normal good), does this event cause an increase in demand or an increase in quantitydemanded? Does this cause an increase in supply or an increase in quantity supplied?
