For normal goodsA) the substitution effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded.B) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both increase the quantity of the gooddemanded.C) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both decrease the quantity of the gooddemanded.D) the substitution effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded.
When goods are complements, there is a direct relationship between the price of
one and the demand for the other.
O 1) True
O 2) False
If two goods are substitutes, then
O an increase in the price of one causes the demand for the other to fall.
O there is an inverse relationship between changes in the price of one good and
changes in the demand for the other.
O if the price of one good falls, the demand for the other good falls also.
O changes in the quantity demanded of one good will not affect the demand for the
other.

- Law of equi marginal utility is an important law of cardinal utility analysis. Explain this law with the help of its assumptions. Also explain the mechanism that how the total utility will be maximum at a point when the marginal utilities of both the goods become equal. Furthermore, there is a relationship between total and marginal utilities where they both pass through different stages when the consumer continues his or her consumption regularly. Describe this case brieflyarrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly defines compensating variation? O The difference in the price a consumer is willing to pay and the price the consumer actually pays. The amount of income that a consumer requires to compensate them for a lower quality product. O The amount of income that must be given or taken away from a consumer to keep their purchasing power constant after a price change. O The amount of income that must be given or taken away from a consumer after a change in price, such that their welfare after the price change is the same as it was before the price change.
