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).

- Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium - Think of a product that you have purchased recently (e.g. soda, diapers, takeout meals, milk, shoes, manicure/pedicure, video game, etc...). Explain how the law of demand affected your purchase. Give specific examples of how the determinants of demand and supply affect this product (T-I-P-E-N and P-R-E-S-T). What happens to the demand curve and the supply curve when any of these determinants change? What would cause a change in demand versus a movement along the same demand curve for this product? How would you determine the new equilibrium price and quantity that result from these changes? Can you demonstrate some of these changes graphically? Price Elasticity of Demand - Consider a product that you have purchased recently. If the price of this item increases, how would you adjust your purchases? Is the Demand for this product Price Elastic or Price Inelastic?
