Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which combination of changes could leave the position of the demand curve for a normal good X unchanged?
A
a decrease in taste for product X and a decrease in the quality of product Y for which product X is a complement
B
a decrease in the quality of a substitute and an increase in incomes
C
an increase in the price of a substitute and an increase in population size
D
an increase in the price of product Y for which product X is a complement and a successful advertising campaign for product X
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When two goods X and Y are substitutes, then as the price of the substitute good Y rises, the demand for good X increases and the demand curve for good X shifts to the right, as in Figure (b).

Detailed explanation-2: -The demand curve shifts to the left if the determinant causes demand to drop. That means less of the good or service is demanded. That happens during a recession when buyers’ incomes drop. They will buy less of everything, even though the price is the same.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the price of Product X decreases, the demand curve for Product Y shifts to the right. X and Y are complementary goods. Good X and Good Y are complementary goods. That is, these goods are used together.

Detailed explanation-4: -Change in Taste and Preferences. Population Increase or Decrease. Price Change of a Related Good. Change in the Expected Future Prices. Change in the Income Level of Buyers. 14-Jan-2022
