Question 6 • 2102320-Economics HONORS - Edgenuity Teacher

How do changing prices affect supply and demand?

Answer
A
As price increases, both supply and demand increase.
B
As price decreases, both supply and demand decrease.
C
As price increases, supply decreases, but demand increases.
D
As price decreases, supply decreases, but demand increases.

Explanation

When price decreases, producers generally offer less for sale, so the quantity supplied decreases. At the lower price, consumers generally want to buy more, so the quantity demanded increases. Therefore, the correct choice is “As price decreases, supply decreases, but demand increases.”
