DEMAND

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best represents the “law of demand”?
A
the desire to own something and the ability to pay for it
B
when price goes up quantity demanded goes down
C
when price goes up quantity supplied goes up
D
when price goes down quantity demanded goes down
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -** The demand schedule shows that as price rises, quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. These points are then graphed, and the line connecting them is the demand curve. The downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the law of demand-the inverse relationship between prices and quantity demanded.

Detailed explanation-2: -Economists call this the Law of Demand. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is a) As the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded of that good decreases. The law of demand says that everything being constant; as the price of the good increases, then there will be a decline in the quantity demanded of that good.

Detailed explanation-4: -A decrease in demand will cause the equilibrium price to fall; quantity supplied will decrease. An increase in supply, all other things unchanged, will cause the equilibrium price to fall; quantity demanded will increase. A decrease in supply will cause the equilibrium price to rise; quantity demanded will decrease.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inverse Relationship of Price and Demand Thus, the price of a product and the quantity demanded for that product have an inverse relationship, as stated in the law of demand. An inverse relationship means that higher prices result in lower quantity demand and lower prices result in higher quantity demand.
