Suppose that when the price of hamburgers decreases, the Li family increases their purchases of ketchup.To the Li family

One would speak of a movement along a supply curve for a good, rather than a change in supply, if

Whether a good is normal or inferior depends on

Which of the following would shift the supply curve for energy drinks to the left?

Assume there is a surplus in the market for hybrid automobiles.Which of the following statements correctly describes this situation?

If provinces decide to cover part of the price of voluntary laser eye surgery and more doctors decide to enter the field of laser eye surgery, what will happen in the market for laser eye surgery as a result of these two factors?

If, in the market for apples, the supply has decreased, then

In response to a surplus the market price of a good will fall; as the price falls, the quantity demanded will increase and quantity supplies will decrease until equilibrium is reached.

A surplus is defined as the situation that exists when the quantity of a good supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.

A positive technological change will cause the quantity supplied of a good to increase.

If a decrease in income leads to an increase in the demand for macaroni, then macaroni is
