DEMAND

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
For most products and services, increased price results in
A
demand for fewer products.
B
demand for more products.
C
reduced demand for substitutes.
D
increased demand for complements.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The demand for a good increases, if the price of one of its complements falls. The demand for a good decreases, if the price of one of its complements rises. The demand for a normal good increases if income increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -If price elasticity is greater than 1, the good is elastic; if less than 1, it is inelastic. If a good’s price elasticity is 0 (no amount of price change produces a change in demand), it is perfectly inelastic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Demand is generally considered to slope downward: at higher prices, consumers buy less. The point at which the two curves intersect represents the market-clearing price-the price at which demand and supply are the same. Prices can change for many reasons (technology, consumer preference, weather conditions).
