YVETTE: Hi Bob. Today the professor said that the market decides how much of each good or service to produce. I don’t understand what that means. Nobody decides how many goods to produce.

Suppose that in the market for smart phones, more smart phones were produced than consumers wanted to buy. In other words, smart phone producers have surplus smart phones that they cannot sell. ______ (options: Producers, Consumers) will _____ (options: lower, raise) the price of each smart phone…arrow_forwardUse the table with data for Maria and Jose to answer the question.
