DEMAND

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
For the law of demand, as price rises, what happens to quantity demanded?
A
it goes up
B
it goes down
C
it stays the same
D
it is not effected
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of demand states that a higher price leads to a lower quantity demanded and that a lower price leads to a higher quantity demanded.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the price goes up, the quantity demanded goes down (but demand itself stays the same). If the price decreases, quantity demanded increases. This is the Law of Demand. On a graph, an inverse relationship is represented by a downward sloping line from left to right.

Detailed explanation-3: -An increase in demand will cause an increase in the equilibrium price and quantity of a good.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because buyers have finite resources, their spending on a given product or commodity is limited as well, so higher prices reduce the quantity demanded. Conversely, demand rises as the product becomes more affordable. As a result, demand curves slope downward from left to right, as in the chart below.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is D. Extension of demand. When the price of the commodity falls, its demand expands which is technically termed as the extension of demand.
