What is the Law of Demand?

a)

The Law of Demand states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded for that good or service increases as well.

b)

The Law of Demand states that as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service decreases as well.

c)

The Law of Demand states that the quantity demanded for a good or service remains constant regardless of price changes.

d)

The Law of Demand states that as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service increases, and vice versa, assuming all other factors remain constant.

2.

Explain the Law of Supply.

a)

The Law of Supply states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied by producers also increases.

b)

The Law of Supply states that as the price of a good or service remains constant, the quantity supplied by producers fluctuates.

c)

The Law of Supply states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded by consumers decreases.

d)

The Law of Supply states that as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity supplied by producers increases.

3.

Define Market Equilibrium.

a)

Market equilibrium is a state where the supply of a product is equal to the demand for that product, resulting in stable prices.

b)

Market equilibrium is when demand exceeds supply resulting in high prices.

c)

Market equilibrium is when supply exceeds demand resulting in low prices.

d)

Market equilibrium is when prices fluctuate constantly due to changing supply and demand.

8.

How does technology impact supply?

a)

Technology has no impact on supply
