Question 3
Complete
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
Which of the following changes would not shift the demand curve for a good or
service?
a change in expectations about the future price of the good or service
a change in the price of a related good or service
a change in income
a change in the price of the good or service
This question deals with shifts of versus movements along curves. The easiest way
to deal with the distinction between the two is to remember that if there is a change
in price (and only if there is a change in price), we have a change in quantity
demanded. A change in quantity demanded is shown by a movement along the
demand curve. If any of the other determinants of demand change (income, taste,
fashion …) there is a change in demand, which is illustrated by a shift of the demand
curve.
Question 4
Complete
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
If the price of a substitute to good X increases, then the
quantity demanded for good X will increase.
market price of good X will decrease.
demand for good X will decrease.
demand for good X will increase.
Let's assume that good X and good Y are substitutes. An increase in the price of Y
will cause the quantity demanded of Y to drop. Consumers will switch to good X and
the demand for good X will therefore increase or shift to the right.

The movement from D to D1 could be caused by
an increase in price.
a technological advance.
a decrease in the price of a substitute.
a decrease in the price of a complement.
This question deals with shifts of versus movements along curves. The easiest way
to deal with the distinction between the two is to remember that if there is a change
in price (and only if there is a change in price), we have a change in quantity
demanded. A change in quantity demanded is shown by a movement along the
demand curve. If any of the other determinants of demand change (income, taste,
fashion …) there is a change in demand, which is illustrated by a shift of the demand
curve. The decrease in demand (from D to D1) is caused by a decrease in the price of
a substitute. If the price of a substitute decreases, consumers will buy more of the
substitute.
