Question
Which of the following statements about the law of demand is correct?Select one:a. According to the substitution effect, persons will buy more of good X when the price of good X increases, as this affects the price of X relative to the prices of other goods. b. As a result of the income effect, persons will buy less of good Y when the price of good Y increases, because the increase in the price of Y decreases the real value of their income. c. According to the law of demand, wants and needs are determined by the price of goods. d. When the price of good Z increases, an upward movement along the demand curve for good Z will take place, and the quantity demanded of good Z will increase due to the higher price.

When the price doubled, consumer expenditures increased to $7 billion. Recently you read that this means that the demand curve for butter is upward sloping (i. e., price and quantity demanded are directly related, as price increases, quantity demanded also increases).

The two goods are substitutes in consumption. The two goods are complements in consumption.arrow_forwardWhen there is a change in the price of a related good, demand increases or decreases depending on the relationship between the two goods. Two economic terms describe these two relationships-substitutes and complements. An increase in the price of Good A increases demand for Good B when the two goods are substitutes.
