Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Law of Demand states that ____
A
less will be purchased at low prices that at high ones
B
the same will be purchased regardless of price point
C
more will be purchased at low prices than at high
D
all people have the ability, desire, and willingness to buy
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. Demand curves and demand schedules are tools used to summarize the relationship between quantity demanded and price.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition: The law of demand states that other factors being constant (cetris peribus), price and quantity demand of any good and service are inversely related to each other. When the price of a product increases, the demand for the same product will fall.

Detailed explanation-3: -When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Law of Demand states that there is an indirect relationship between the price of a good or service and the quantity of that good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy. In other words, as the price of an item increases, buyers are less willing and able to buy it and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
