A movement along the demand curve refers to a change in quantity demanded due to a change in consumer tastes and preferences, while a shift in the demand curve refers to a change in quantity demanded due to a change in consumer expectations.

d)

A movement along the demand curve refers to a change in quantity demanded due to a change in quantity supplied, while a shift in the demand curve refers to a change in quantity demanded due to a change in consumer income.

c)

An increase in population leads to a decrease in demand, shifting the demand curve to the left.

d)

10.

Imagine Arthur, Mia, and James are discussing the impact of consumer expectations on the demand curve. Arthur says a change in consumer expectations can shift the demand curve either to the right or to the left. Mia believes it only shifts the demand curve to the left.

Arthur, who says a change in consumer expectations can shift the demand curve either to the right or to the left.

b)

Mia, who believes a change in consumer expectations only shifts the demand curve to the left.

c)

James, who thinks a change in consumer expectations always shifts the demand curve to the right.
