Question

Consider the following​ statement: ​"An increase in supply decreases the equilibrium price. The decrease in price increases​ demand." The statement is A. ​false: decreases in price affect the quantity​ demanded, not demand. B. ​false: increases in supply increase price. Decreases in price increase demand. C. ​true: increases in supply decrease price. Decreases in price increase demand. D. ​false: increases in supply decrease price.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase in supply decreases the equilibrium price as the supply curve shifts rightward and intersects the demand curve at a lower point. This decline in the equilibrium price causes the quantity demanded to increase. The demand for the product remains the same.

The statement given in the question is false. A change in demand is caused by a change in other factors while the price of the product remains the same. The change in price affects the quantity demanded.
