A decrease in the price of a good will result in: more being supplied. |
an increase in the quantity demanded. |
If goods A and B are substitutes, a decrease in the price of good B will: increase the demand for good B. |
decrease the demand for good A. |
substitute goods |
Substitute goods are two goods that could be used for the same purpose. If the price of one good increases, then demand for the substitute is likely to rise. Therefore, substitutes have a positive cross elasticity of demand. |
If the demand for tires goes down when the price of gas goes up, then tires and gas are: both inexpensive. |
complements |
complementary goods |
Complementary goods exhibit a negative cross elasticity of demand: as the price of good Y rises, the demand for good X falls. In economics, a complementary good or complement is a good with a negative cross elasticity of demand, in contrast to a substitute good. |

quantity supplied to increase. |
A leftward shift of a supply curve is caused by: an increase in the number of buyers. |
an increase in the cost of an input. |
If the supply and demand curves intersect at $47, then any price above that would result in: equilibrium. |
surplus |
