For the following statements, please indicate whether each is true or false:
A fall in the price of shoes would shift the demand curve for shoes to the right.
As the price of a product falls, the quantity demanded of that product will increase, other things equal.
According to the law of demand, there is a positive relation between price and the quantity demanded.
If the demand for potatoes increases as income decreases, economists would consider potatoes as a normal good.
If the demand for eggs decreases as the price of bacon increases, economists would consider eggs and bacon as complements.
A supply curve shows the minimum price producers are willing to charge.
The supply curve will shift upwards on a graph if the prices of inputs into production go up.

- 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 quantityarrow_forwardGood B and Good A are substitutes. If the price of Good A rises, what will happen to the demand curve of Good B?arrow_forwardTwo students, Nick and Sofia, are discussing normal and inferior goods. Nick says that if Frodo buys more beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be an inferior good for Frodo. If, on the other hand, he buys less beer when the price of beer goes up, then beer must be a normal good for Frodo. Sofia disagrees: "Normal and inferior goods are about income changes, not price changes. Therefore, we do not have enough information: beer could be an inferior or normal good in either of these cases." Do you agree or disagree? Carefully explain your point of view. Support your argument with graphs of income, substitution and total effects (please put beer on the horizontal axis and the other goods on the vertical axis). Please assume that Frodo's preferences over beer and other goods are strictly convex and satisfy "more is better" assumption.arrow_forward

- When 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. An increase in the price of Good A decreases demand for Good B when the two goods are complements.The graph shows the shift in the demand for good B when the price of good A increases depending on whether the two goods are substitutes or complements. Pick from the bold choices below. pls look at the graph. In Mexico, NAFTA had the result of lowering the price of used cars. Consider the effect of the price of used cars on the demand for new cars in Mexico. When the price of used cars in Mexico fell the Mexican demand for new cars (Increase or decrease). This would cause the new car demand curve in Mexico to (Shift right or shift left). The price of new cars in Mexico would…arrow_forwardSuppose two goods, X and Y, are perfect complements and U = MIN (X, Y). A consumer has $24 to spend. Initially, the price of each good is $2. If the price of good X falls to $1, how much of the total change in quantity demanded of good X is due to the income effect? (Hint: Sketch the graph.)arrow_forwardSuppose that a consumer has $200 to spend on two goods: beer and pretzels. The price of beer is $6.00 and the price of pretzels is $3.00.
